SUGAR AND YOUR BRAIN Glucose is the primary source of energy for every cell in the body. Your 🧠 , being the most energy demanding organ in your body, guzzles up nearly half of all the sugar energy in the body. So what happens to your brain when your body is sugar starved? 👉🏻 Your memory is not as sharp and you struggle with poor attention and cognitive function. In most cases symptoms of anxiety, exhaustion, insomnia and depression are also associated with being sugar starved. Glucose feeds the brain and inflammation damages it. Glucose is our brains primary source of fuel and vital for balanced brain chemistry and prevention of “early brain breakdown.” If you ever experience being spacey, lightheaded, shaky or irritable during your day it is because your brain is communicating to you that you need fuel, your blood sugar is low and glucose is not getting to the brain cells. We know life is busy and we know this is what is making most people “sick”, Unfortunately, because people are so consumed in the busy-ness of life it is the very things they are doing - skipping meals, living on caffeine, eating processed-high sugar carbohydrates, not eating enough protein, over exercising, under exercising, under eating, over eating- creating the fatigue during the day, the insane cravings, the dependence on caffeine to sustain a day, irritability and poor memory. How can you support your brain with sugar…. ✔️Eat a balanced breakfast with metabolic carbs, proteins and fats ✔️Never eat carbs, proteins or fats by themselves ✔️Avoid fruit and vegetable juices ✔️Limit caffeine intake to always after a meal ✔️If you struggle, eat small meals every 2-3hrs ✔️Do not eat sweets or starchy foods prior to bed #brainfuel #sugar #feedthebrain #glucoseisfuel #thyroidfoods #thyroidhealth #restorationthyroidnutrition #eastwesthealing #realfoodgangstas https://www.instagram.com/p/B0EG2c-AfuC/?igshid=kesxaczqa2vp
