Improving brain health requires more than just brain games; diet plays a crucial role. While occasional treats are acceptable, some popular foods and drinks should be avoided. Protein powders, often filled with artificial sweeteners, can harm the gastrointestinal microbiome vital for neurotransmitter production. Soda, high in simple sugars, damages brain-supplying blood vessels, leading to serious health issues like premature dementia and strokes. The resulting sugar spikes and crashes can induce addictive behaviors, impacting overall mood and brain function.
It is those additives that really give me pause when it comes to protein powders because they wreak havoc on your gastrointestinal microbiome.
Soda is one of the worst foods for brain health due to the high concentration of simple sugars, which damage the blood vessels supplying the brain.
