A familiar brain-food takes on yet another starring role! Fat-rich fish.
Fat-rich fish is loaded with vitamin D. Neuroscientists now believe that your brain is the biggest beneficiary of vitamin D.
Consider vitamin D a stealth substance.....it is all around us, but
increasingly elusive. You get vit D from the sun. We are told to stay
out of the sun or use a sun screen. This makes sense, because of
potential skin damage and related cancer concerns. The result, though,
is that many people are deficient in vit D. A lack of vit D in the brain
is not good news.
Here is what we know:
Too little Vit D in the adult brain increases the risk of stroke and dementia.
Vit D thins blood and protects neurons in your brain. Mood disorders are linked to low levels of vitamin D.
A link has been discovered between inadequate levels of vit D and autism and schizophrenia.
I have started to include more of these vitamin D rich foods in my diet:salmon, mackerel, sardines, shrimp, milk, and eggs
Recipes that use these foods could be considered a day of sunshine!
I have become very aware that I have one brain and that it is
involved in every thing I do. I am doing my best to look after it.
For
more on the brain benefits of fish check out Brain Bulletins 26 and 33
in the Brain Bulletin Archive.
In the last Brain Bulletin I told you that I had just started reading an amazing book:The End of Overeating by David Kessler
It is an absolutely remarkable book in that it approaches eating as a
brain behaviour. I saw myself on just about every page. I could not
read it fast enough!
Many of the questions that I get asked in my live presentations
relate to eating. Usually about eating too much, or continually eating
the wrong foods. I have told people for 25 years that you eat with your
brain, not your mouth. The End of Overeating really illuminates how your brain interacts with food. You will enjoy it and remember, I don't get a penny for recommeding it.
Last week I was in Barrie, Ontario keynoting the Aim Language
Learning Conference. I met lots of great people and I got to celebrate
Canada Day in downtown Barrie. It was lots of fun! This week our
daughter and soon to be son-in-law, Taryn and Jeff, get married. I get
to spend the rest of the month presenting seminars in beautiful
Vancouver.
Everyday new horizons appear in your life and new doors open all around you. Train your brain to look for them and......
Remember: "You are a genius!"
