All Brains Need Nutrients to Perform

A significant portion of the brain is made up of the incredible nutrients: Omega-3 DHA, Choline and Lutein. And just like your calcium-filled teeth and bones require you to eat and drink foods rich in calcium for their strength, your brain needs you to eat these building-block nutrients for brain health and peak performance.

Brain nutrition needs change as you grow but regardless of age, there are a few core nutrients that all brains require to develop and stay healthy so you can be and feel your best.

 

Feeding the Brain is a Critical Investment for
Brain Performance, Development and Health

  • Attention & Focus
  • Critical Thinking
  • Mood
  • Memory
Development and Learning

Our brain continues to develop throughout our life. Omega-3s, including DHA, are a critical component in brain and nerve cells. Choline is the key ingredient in the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine, which enables the neurons in our brains to communicate, and Lutein is a key building block of our optic nerves, which power our vision. The right nutrition, along with early life experiences and our genes work together to impact our brain development and act as the foundation for future learning, behavior, and health.

Kids

From birth to three, we form a million neural connections each second and brain development continues well into our teenage years.

Adults 

We strengthen and improve the efficiency of complex brain function that helps us with adulting. Yay budgets, and insurance!

Seniors

As lifelong learners, we often take on learning a new language or skill like playing a new instrument that we didn’t have time for earlier in life.

Attention & Focus

Sixty percent of our brain is composed of fat -- which means our brain depends on a steady supply of fat for its health and wellbeing. Omega-3 DHA is the most common fat in our brain, and provides much of its structure. Choline which is the main component of Acetylcholine, along with Omega-3 DHA help with every aspect of the movement of information from brain cell to brain cell. When our brains don’t get enough Choline, we can’t produce enough of the neurotransmitter Acetylecholine and without consuming enough Omega-3s, our neurons make less serotonin, a neurotransmitter that controls mental activity. Thus, eating a diet rich in Omega-3s fuels attention and focus!

Kids 

At 2 years old, we have an attention span of 4-6 minutes. Which means we can sit still for half of our favorite book before wanting to read the next one.

Adults 

We have honed our ability to selectively tune out unimportant information. So we’re able to effectively work while we’re listening to our podcast, scrolling through social media and talking to our co-worker, all at the same time.

Seniors

Thanks Omega-3s, Choline and Lutein for protecting our brain and helping us with that little extra boost when we’re focusing hard on learning how to play a new instrument.

Critical Thinking

Critical thinking is a skill we develop to take in information and process it to form conclusions.  We use these conclusions to determine our actions and beliefs In order for this to work, our brain must be flexible, interpretive, and creative all at once. We think best when we are hydrated and eat foods that fuel our body and brain!

Kids 

We start developing our critical thinking skills when we ask “how” and “why” and “why” and “why” and “why” and “why” and “why”.  

Adults 

We think in creative ways and use abstract reasoning to find solutions. We use metaphors to describe things -- things that probably don’t need a metaphor.

Seniors

Whether it's helping people in the community or hustling grandkids in a card game, good nutrition helps us tackle any challenge.

Mood

Our gut and brain are connected physically through millions of nerves, most importantly the vagus nerve. The role of nutrition, especially pre and probiotics to feed and maintain our microbiome along with Omega-3 fatty acids play a critical role in regulating our mood.

Kids 

We experiment with showing our emotions through different actions, faces, and play. We test the limits. All of them. All the time.  

Adults 

We develop better emotional stability and learn to process our feelings productively through the help of friends and the occasional glass of wine.

Seniors

As the ultimate family go-to, a lot can weigh on us. Eating foods that support the gut and brain can help navigate challenging times.

Memory

Memory is our brain’s superpower to absorb information, store it, and recall it at a later time - it’s kind of like our own mini search engine. A balanced diet that includes critical brain nutrients found in vegetables, fatty fish, healthy fats, and seeds, gives our brain the nutritional boost to keep our memory functioning.

Kids
We start remembering things consistently at the age of 4. We proudly sing for anyone who will (or won’t) listen because we know our ABCs.

Adults
Good nutrition and sleep are critical for fast and accurate recall. This comes in handy when our first boss rattles off a to-do list longer than a drug store receipt.

Seniors
We can proudly share our fondest memories fueled by great brain nutrition, sleep and exercise!
