    When it comes to what you bite, chew and swallow, your choices have a direct and long-lasting effect on the most powerful organ in your body: your brain. So which foods cause you to feel so tired after lunch? Or so restless at night? Mia Nacamulli takes you into the brain to find out.

    When I was a teenager and in my early 20’s I used to eat fast food, processed foods (chips, candy, ramen noodles), and sugary drinks. I used to feel awful mentally, physically, and emotionally. After I got pregnant I decided I wanted to change my diet to more healthier foods to help the developing baby. I found that eating right and exercising I felt better and really helped my body adjust to my new life as a mother, plus the baby was so healthy. We still continue to eat healthy to this day

      @@heroshinx693 The key is finding the foods and flavours you enjoy! You don't need to live a life of leafy greens and quinoa while restricting all sugar and carbs. Find a variety of foods (both sweet and savory) and find a balance that works for you. I struggled for years, despising any healthy people cuz it always was abrasive and felt forced. But once you start listening to what foods your body does and doesn't like, what works for you and become more aware of what you're eating (you don't need to calorie count or do anything other than be more involved and present of what you tend to eat) it goes from forcing healthy eating to eating simply for the nutrition your body needs. I recommend you check out intuitive eating because while I am the "healthy person of my group" I eat just as much "bad things" as those I know, but the difference is that I started eating for myself and to really benefit me, it's made a world of difference with eating. I'm able to enjoy the kale salads and quinoa for the nutrition it gives me, but I also enjoy a refreshing sprite and some occasional M&Ms. Find YOUR balance and I say that's all we need. After all, we were made from and evolved from the non processed foods so while I still enjoy my walmart and Mcydonald's runs, It's always nice to come back to a balanced meal to further fuel myself for the days ahead.
      Most of this comes not from a "you should stop focusing on processed foods and attempt to replace it with non processed foods" but more of a once I started eating more intuitively and listening to what my body wants and not labeling foods as "good" or "bad" and I started to learn why eating right is important and how foods affect my body, it really made not only overall life more easy and enjoyable but it brought more overall wellbeing to food itself.

      It's not enough to simply educate but to demonstrate the practically of such information. Children may know that this food is good and that food is bad. Like, "everyone knows a carrot is good for you, and that Doritos are bad," but since me and my friends eat the bad stuff all the time, it's okay, right? Well, no, it isn't. But children won't understand the application of the information. We might need to educate adults / parents on this. Even then, it's worthless if they don't follow up on it. What good is knowledge if we don't use it?

      That is complete bs programming. We have literally trillions of cells that started from one single parent cell and never needed any kind of outside source to grow.
      The only reason a cell dies is because poisonous introduced to it .
      Anything that is put in the mouth is treated as a toxin by the body it doesn’t matter what it is water fruit it doesn’t matter your body treated as a Tocsin. As soon as you put something in your mouth, your body produces mucus to try to expel it from your body.
      You were on a program
      A slavery consumerist program
      You are under mind control
      You will consume until the day you die
      Or you can break free from your programming and groupthink detach from all these pleasures that are killing, you heal and actually live as a free person

      @ONLY Romanian: Everything you’re eating explains it all. The video tells you a lot, but if you need extra help, exercising by doing stretches, lightweight lifting, or just some light cardio like 20 to 30 minutes of walking are all highly beneficial. Also seeing a professional dietitian and possibly a physical therapist can help a lot too. But to do these things you have to try. Because unfortunately help can’t simply come to you. You have to get it yourself-no offense whatsoever. Best wishes and lots of hope to you. 🤗✌️

    See, if I was taught the reasoning behind why I need to eat healthy as a kid, rather than just being told "cause its good for you" then I probably wouldn't have such an awful, sugary processed food diet. I wish things like this would be explained to kids because I've found that when understanding the "why" to something, its much easier to do/practice. And some people may think this is too complicated for kids to understand, but you would be surprised at how intelligent even kindergarteners can be when info is presented in an interesting and/or fun way.

      My current favorite breakfast is a cup of water-cooked oatmeal with cinnamon and a little vanilla, a cooked egg, and a few almonds, berries, or misc. fresh fruit/veg either on the side or mixed in with the oatmeal. The whole thing takes maybe fifteen minutes, usually is fewer than 250 kilocalories, and keeps me going for a good couple hours! Different spices and fruits/nuts/vegetables also help keep me from getting too bored with the meal.

    Cutting out processed foods and processed sugar, enabled me to remove six prescription drugs I was supposed to be on for life. I was taking 120 pain pills a month, depression meds., steroid creams for skin rashes and three additional drugs. (I also lost 40 pounds and have kept it off for eight years) Most of us treat our bodies like a city waste facility until our health is taken from us. This is exactly what happened to me. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue syndrome. And given no hope from the medical Doctors. Now is the time to take care of yourself, before you end up in dire straits as I did.

Not saying it will cure (although many times it will) and there is always a time and place for medication, but natural remedies and lifestyle changes should be pushed before harsh medication with a list of side effects

    I’d love to see a list of foods or diet that goes along with this information. So that we can try and maintain that balanced diet.

      They mentioned several foods and you need to eat a variety so it's not super helpful to list a few.

      Truth is everyone is different. You can study some of the different diets and then try them to see which works for you. You can make small changes at first so it’s doable and not overwhelming.

      I personally think a diet isn’t the best way to go about it. I try to eat as much homemade food as possible so I know what’s going into my body. If you do, it helps to research into the nutritional contents of the base ingredients (and oils especially). Recently more than anything I’ve just been trying to eat less sugar and more vegetables though

      Well said friend. Buddhism holds a concept that we 'inter-are' to put it simply. What was once vague 'spiritual' views are being made physical so as to bring understanding to the layman. Even the bible exhorts us to eat to edify the other in the new testament (Paul, on forbidden foods). Stay blessed.

      Got the joke so no worries, just wanted to add my own 2 cents to your comment
      At some point, to a certain extent, we have to be self-proclaimed and entitled and egoistic, otherwise we wouldn’t be any different from wild beasts
      That’s how humans stood out from the rest of the animal kingdom and got on top the food chain in the first place
