Food that affects your brain:

  • Glucose is very important for brain function, 20% percent of glucose we consume is used by our brain for its function. 
  • Foods like white bread can give initial spike of glucose and a dip, which may lead to lower attention span. Foods like oats, grains, and legumes are known to slowly release glucose thus acting as a consistent fuel source.
