FOOD FOR THE BRAIN SERIES - PART 3

TIPS

Some tips on maintaining an even supply of glucose flowing to the brain

* Always eat breakfast - porridge oats or wholemeal toast with a poached egg is better tha a sugary cereal

* Eat small frequent meals, which contain protein plus slow-releasing carbohydrates; protein counteracts the effects of carbohydrates

* Avoid sugar and sweet- stevia rebaudiana can be used as a substitute to sugar extracted from sugarcane

* Avoid fast releasing carbohydrates such as processed breakfast cereals, cake made with white flour and white rice (go for wholegrain)

* Avoid caffeine in coffee, tea and cola drinks (SAY "NO" TO TEH TARIK)

* Avoid alcohol

* Avoid, or at least reduce cigarettes (SAY "NO" TO CIGARETTES)

* Reduce stress (unnecessary stress should also be avoided)

* Eat complex carbohydrates found in wholegrain bread, brown rice and vegetables

* Exercise regularly (find TIME for it)




They are super duper yummy..but..please say NO.. you can have them once a while..have a taste of it not the whole bunch of them at one time.
