Here's some food for thought
 Want to do better? Eat smarter. Our nutritional choices affect our ability to perform mentally as much as physically. In the Psychology Today article "How to eat smart," Randy Blaun and Andreas Wiesenack talk about how the foods we eat affect body performance and "may prove to have an even more critical influence on how the brain handles its tasks." They explain, "The idea that the right foods, or the natural neurochemicals they contain, can enhance mental capabilities — help you concentrate, tune sensorimotor skills, keep you motivated, magnify memory, speed reaction times, defuse stress, perhaps even prevent brain aging — is not idle speculation." The Daily Record article "Good Food" identifies nutritional "performance enhancers" and offers tips for achieving "a balanced diet of carbohydrates, fat, protein, fibre, vitamins, minerals and drinking plenty of fluids."
In Food and You: A Guide to Healthy Habits for Teens, Marjolijn Bijlefeld and Sharon K. Zoumbaris explain how exercise and the foods you eat affect the way you perform and offer guidelines for setting up a healthy kitchen which includes basic cooking equipment and a nutritious larder. "Your body is like an engine, the better the fuel you put it, the better the performance," says Helen Cox. Writing for the Evening Chronicle, she offers 12 tips to help you get "Fighting Fit. " |
