How Food Affects Your Brain
What makes Audrey unique is her dedication to the science of nutrition. She knows that the science shows that eating the right foods helps your brain and your mood. Here’s a beginning of her knowledge:
-
Good Fats Help Your Brain: Foods like salmon, walnuts, and flaxseeds are full of healthy fats called omega-3s. These fats help your brain work better and can make you feel less sad or worried.
-
A Happy Gut Means a Happy Mind: Your stomach and brain are connected! Eating foods like yogurt, pickles, and whole grains helps your gut stay healthy and can improve your mood.
-
Colorful Foods Are Powerful: Fruits and vegetables give your body vitamins and minerals that keep your mind sharp and your feelings steady.
God's Plan for Eating Well
"Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." – 1 Corinthians 10:31
God cares about every part of your life, including what you eat. When we choose foods that make us healthy, we honor the bodies He gave us. Eating well is one way to thank God for His blessings and care.
