Diet and Neurology
Neuro Café 5th July 2023 by Sarah S
Tonight at the Neuro Café Sarah discussed how what we eat, can influence our brain and nervous system, as well as how we feel.
Studies show that consumption of a Western diet, high in saturated fat, refined sugar, and processed foods, impairs learning and memory.
The foods we eat play a critical role in regulating everything in our bodies. A balanced diet consists of brain food; food which is good for nerves and muscle.
Top tips for all neurological conditions include; eating the right balance of food groups, eat regular meals, eat at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables and drink plenty of water.
There are diets for specific neurological conditions such as for epilepsy or dementia. Check out the Member Area for slides on this topic.
Diet can affect neurological inflammation, metabolic processes and reduce cell/tissue damage.
