Even though the brain represents only 2 to 3% of the human body weight<\/strong>, it is responsible for 25% of its energy expenditure<\/strong>. Therefore, it is essential to adapt your lifestyle to ensure its proper functioning and maximize your performance!<\/strong> Let\u2019s look at our tips to improve your intellectual stimulation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Neuronutrition, what is it?<\/h2>\n

Neuronutrition means micronutrition adapted to the brain<\/strong>. This science studies the impact of diet<\/strong> on brain function. What one eats influences temper, neuroplasticity<\/strong>, thus on memory<\/strong>. In addition to glucose, several micronutrients are essential<\/strong> for brain activity.<\/p>\n

Negative influences of unbalanced diet on brain activity<\/h2>\n

Clinical studies have shown that a diet too fatty and too sweet<\/strong> has a negative impact<\/strong> on brain function. This type of diet is believed to cause inflammation<\/strong> of a brain area involved in memory, altering<\/strong> its functioning. Furthermore, an unbalanced diet would activate the brain area that produces stress hormones<\/strong>. Individuals would be then more prone to stress and anxiety. Thus, diet plays on memory and on stress gestion. During the review period, it is therefore important to avoid over-consumption of products too fatty and too sweet. But what are the best foods to increase intellectual performance?<\/strong><\/p>\n

What nutrients for proper brain function?<\/h2>\n

While the brain draws its energy from glucose<\/strong>, it is not the only nutrient needed to maintain the neuronal structure and communication.<\/strong> It will also be necessary to provide vitamins, minerals<\/strong> and some lipids<\/strong> to ensure proper brain structure.<\/p>\n
