    How Food Affects Our Brain

    Uploaded by

    Natalia Leon Gomez
    The human brain is mostly composed of lipids, amino acids, proteins, and glucose, though its weight exceeds the sum of these components. Each component impacts behavior, mood, development, and energy. Amino acids are found in proteins, and are absorbed more quickly than proteins. The brain needs glucose for development and function, obtaining it from the bloodstream. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids found in fish and seeds benefit brain health and prevent degeneration, while saturated and trans fats harm the brain and heart over long consumption.

    if we divide the human brain, we can notice that most of it is composed by lipid, amino acids,

    proteins and glucose but its weight is more than sum of them. Each component has lots of impacts
    in our behave, mood, development, and our energy. the amino acids are in the proteins because it
    is which proteins are made. even though the amino acids are faster absorbed than the proteins.
    You can find them in the eggs, salmon, pork. The brain in order to has a good development and
    function needs the glucose and it is present in our blood. Besides, we find the lipid which are fats.
    In this group we can find saturated and unsaturated fat. In the first one for example we can find
    French fries, hamburgers and other. An in the last one we find avocado and olive oil. Finally, the
    best fatty acids for our brain are omega 3 and 6 because they prevent degenerative brain
    conditions and we can find them in fishes and seeds. Long-term consumption of other fats, like
    trans and saturated fats, may compromise our brain and heart health

    if we divide the human brain, we can notice that most of it is composed by fats which are known
    as a lipid. Also, you can find amino acids, proteins and glucose but its weight is more than sum of
    them. Each component has lots of impacts in our behave, mood, development as a human being,
    and our energy. the amino acids are in the proteins because it is which proteins are made of this.
    even though the amino acids are faster absorbed than the proteins. You can find them in the eggs,
    salmon, chicken, pork. The brain grows until the adolescence. after that, it needs a kind of fuel in
    order to has a good development and function. in this case the fuel is the glucose, which is the
    only sugar that feeds the brain, is its main source of energy. because it is present in our blood. And
    we can find it in cereals, rice, wheat products honey, bread and fruits. but if you eat lot of bad
    carbohydrates it will become as fats you hate to see in your body. So, you could consume it but
    moderately. besides, we find the lipid which are fats. In this group we can find saturated and
