HEALTHY EATING
Fuel your body, fuel your brain.
EAT HEALTHY. Yes. Really. This is critical. We often see (and have ourselves consumed) sugary snacks, the three-decade-shelf-life processed foods, and enough coffee to fill swimming pools in our stints in operations centers in the countless crises we have responded to. But why is this so important, and WHY NOW? Your brain needs it.
The average brain weighs only 3 lbs./1.36 kgs, yet it consumes 20% of the body’s energy. Good food = healthy brain fuel.
Start with Small Changes
Do you want to stay healthy, think clearly, and feel good?
PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU’RE EATING.
We know, we know... you’ve heard it all before, and it’s easier said than done. Start by making small changes today.
Your gut is often called the “second brain” because it has over 100 million neurons. It is able to operate on its own and has a unique neural communication pathway to your actual brain.
This second brain, called the enteric nervous system (ENS) is transforming how medicine understands the connection between digestion, mood, and how we think.
The gut microbiome weighs more than our brains (about 2 kgs), and may have as much influence over our bodies. New findings about the ENS also highlight how people with digestive problems have a higher incidence of depression, anxiety, and other disorders.
