Misty, I am much older than you, and can honestly say that I think sugar and carbs are like poison to the brain (and body). I too wondered if my brain function was fading due to age or disease, but am happy to say with dietary changes I am sharper than ever and so much happier too. |
I agree, age doesn't matter. We all need quiet time/meditation/sleep, and proper diet and exercise for optimum brain function.
I need to reduce my sugar intake, but I can't go too low with carbs or I risk feeling sick. I think we are all built a little differently and have slightly different requirements. Like our doggies, we have to find the diet that works best for us.
