adhd diet

In her book, Your Miracle Brain, Jean Carper writes: Our diets and our brain s needs are a colossal mismatch. Our genes haven t changed much for several million years, but diet has changed radically within the past fifty years. We often run on empty when modern diets are at odds with genetic makeup. Memory causes our brains to crave foods we ate forty thousand years ago, but we feed it stuff that didn t exist even forty years ago. Brains crave nutrients from a Stone Age diet, but we feed them McDonald s and Mazola corn oil what a mighty famine this unleashes inside the brain.
