Healthy TIPS For Healthy Living; So Get Stuck In!

By Veronique Belmar


Food affects the chemistry of our brain. If we eat the right foods at the right time of day, such positive pattern can have a positive effect on our mental alertness. Meals that are rich in starch can improve ones physical endurance. Note though, such meals can also have a calming, sedative effect on the brain. Hence the reason at times we feel sleepy after a pasta or potato lunch. If YOU were to have carbohydrate foods in the evening, it will help you relax, as well as, giving you a good night’s sleep.

How are you doing with your stimulants and where are they found?
Caffeine is a stimulant, which you will find in: coffee, tea, and cola drinks.
