eating well with having a positive
0:19
outlook or improved memory but for our

0:26
expensive car mood disorders and emotion
0:29
regul ation are part of this the proverb

you are what you eat is undoubtedly true

in regards to the brain there are a
0:37
plethora of foods that support brain
0:39

0:41
impair brain function we'll explain how
0:43
different diets impact brain function in
0:45
today's video you may learn about
0:48
processed foods lipids sugar
0:51
carbohydrates coffee and more by
0:53
watching to the very end junk food and
0:56
processed food junk food and processed
0:59
food makes you feel happy a reward
1:02
system in the brain hardwires us to
1:04
perform actions that provide us pleasure
1:06
such as indulging in delicious food
1:09
dopamine is released and our reward
1:11
circuits are activated when we consume
1:13
junk food the pleasure from these
1:15
satisfying foods can sometimes overwhelm
1:17
our brains causing the brain to adjust
1:19
by producing additional dopamine
1:21
receptors this implies that we must
1:24
consume more junk food to have the same
1:26
kick which causes us to overeat this is
1:29
also how a drug addict grows tolerant to
1:31
the substance we therefore crave sweet
1:34
and fatty foods because our brains are
1:36
wired to seek out and demand rewarding
1:38
things which junk food item is your
1:40
weakness tell us right away in the
1:42
comments box below junk food is more
1:45
highly refined and has higher levels of
1:47
sugars and fats than many natural foods
1:50
which is what causes brain inflammation
1:52
junk food can have an analogous effect
1:54
on the brain as allergens do on oral
1:57
inflammation this is referred to as
1:59
neuroinflam infation and it initiates a
2:01
self-reinforcing chain of events that
2:03
results in further inflammation and the
2:05
potential for neuronal damage
2:08
researchers discovered that consuming
2:09
junk food for as little as 5 days raised
2:12
hippocampal inflammation levels
2:14
individuals who have hippocampal
2:16
impairment describe constant hunger the
2:18
gut sends signals of fullness to the
2:21
hippocampus thus consuming junk food
2:24
might set off a vicious cycle that
2:25
damages the hip aample region and makes
2:27
you want to consume more reducing is the
2:30
brain's capacity for learning the
2:32
brain's memory Hub is the hippocampus as
2:34
was previously mentioned in basic memory
2:37
tests those who consume large amounts of
2:40
junk food underperformed compared to
2:42
those who maintain a balanced diet
2:44
according to research memories are
2:46
produced in the brain by connections
2:48
between neurons storing our experiences
2:51
they are continually rearranged in
2:53
reaction to the surroundings the phrase
2:56
neurons that fire together wire together
2:59
or or neuroplasticity can be used to
3:02
characterize this process diets high in
3:04
junk food have been demonstrated to
3:06
decrease
3:07
neuroplasticity which is necessary for
3:09
us to quickly pick up new information
3:11
and create new memories two
3:14
Mediterranean diet one of the healthiest
3:17
diets on the planet is the Mediterranean
3:19
diet dietary
3:21
Mediterranean diabetes heart disease and
3:24
other chronic illnesses like dementia
3:26
can all be prevented with this diet
3:28
according to study
3:30
there can be gains in memory and
3:31
executive function as well as a slower
3:33
rate of cognitive decline even with a
3:35
lenient adherence to the Mediterranean
3:37
diet it has also been demonstrated to
3:40
reduce diabetes stroke and risk factors

weight it uses about 20% of the energy
4:44
obtained from glucose this indicates
4:47
that proper diet is essential for brain
4:49
health in addition to serving as one of
4:51
the building elements of carbs glucose
4:53
is involved in the synthesis of
4:55
Serotonin the chemical serotonin is in
4:58
charge of regulating anxiet I and mood
5:01
carbohydrates which include whole grains
5:04
vegetables fruit rice potatoes and

5:36
magnesium along with vitamins b c d and
5:40
e is crucial for the growth and health
5:42
of the brain a diet high in vitamins and
5:45
minerals from fruits and vegetables is
5:47
linked to a lower risk of cognitive
5:49
issues as people age according to
5:51
research vitamins B6 B12 and C are
5:55
crucial for the health and development
5:56
of neurons while thomine and E are
5:59
particularly vital for the cells in the
6:01
nervous system that transfer messages
6:04
magnesium enhances synaptic plasticity
6:07
which allows nerves to adapt and prevent
6:09
harm it can be found in avocados spinach
6:12
brown rice and almonds it may therefore
6:15
Aid in the synthesis of energy and
6:18
neurotransmitters battle stress and
6:20
depression and enhance memory minerals
6:23
and vitamins are also linked to a
6:24
decreased chance of cognitive
6:26
impairments vitamins E C D and the B
6:31
vitamins are all crucial for preserving
6:33
regular brain function vitamins B and C
6:35
are also necessary for the brain's
6:37
ability to produce energy five fats
6:42
because they play a crucial role in the
6:43
construction of cell membranes some fats
6:46
are particularly significant to the
6:48
brain they are also essential to the
6:50
composition and operation of neurons
6:53
Omega three fatty acids which are
6:55
present in fish and are essential for
6:57
the development of the eyes and brain
6:59
make up about 60% of the brain the
7:02
development of the brain during
7:03
pregnancy and the early years of life
7:05
depends on omega-3 fats which are
7:07
present in olive oil and oily fish like
7:10
salmon Herring and sardines the first
7:13
year of life is when the remaining brain
7:15
cells are laid down with a majority of
7:17
brain cells developing prior to birth
7:19
omega-3 fats are therefore essential
7:22
during pregnancy and the early years of
7:24
life additionally there is data that
7:26
suggests that omega-3 dietary shortage
7:29
May have a negative impact on cognition

7:54
the brain it does cause excessive
7:56
insulin levels to be released insulin
7:59
regulates the availability of various
8:01
amino acids to the brain and impedes the
8:03
transportation of most amino acids with
8:06
the exception of tropin this substance
8:09
crosses the bloodb brain barrier and
8:10
converts into the Sleep hormones
8:12
melatonin and serotonin you can actually
