Whole grains, vegetables, beans, peanuts, and seeds are examples of complex carbohydrates. They are examples of food that will provide a supply of sugar for the brain. They are much more desirable sources of sugar and far more beneficial to the  brain. Nature has made them available to humanity.

Complex Carbohydrates require a longer time to digest than simple sugar foods, so the sugar they provide will trickle into the blood stream slowly. This provides a gentle rise in the level of the  blood sugar thus avoiding the necessity of the brain to trigger a blast of insulin. This in turn leaves the brain free to take all the sugar it needs, without competition from the other organs of the body.

Dr Warman puts it this way. The brain is not above it all,it is intimately influenced by what we eat. The brain’s ability to make certain neurotransmitters depends in the amount of various nutrients circulating in the blood. The food breaks down  into individual nutrients in the digestive tract. These nutrients in the bloodstream circulate to the brain when  a few perpetrate the blood brain barrier thereby affecting the production of neurotransmitters.

What we eat has been found to affect our moods, alertness, sleep, IQ, ability to remember, perception of pain. With the right menu the substance we munch daily can brighten our minds and memories.

These are elements now proven to increase intelligence. They are found in natural nontoxic food substances. When you eat such foods you are indirectly making yourself smarter, improving your memory and increasing your learning power.
