Omega-6 Fatty Acids, Sugar, and Refined Carbohydrates: Brain Health Destroyers

Avoiding omega-6 fatty acids, sugar, and refined carbohydrates is crucial for maintaining brain health. These ingredients contribute to inflammation, insulin resistance, and glucose starvation in the brain. Omega-6 fatty acids, found in oils like soy, corn, canola, and cottonseed oil, create inflammation in the nervous system. Excessive sugar consumption leads to insulin resistance, depriving neurons of fuel and increasing the risk of conditions like Alzheimer's. Refined carbohydrates, such as bread, pasta, and cereal, quickly turn into sugar, cause gut problems, and deplete essential trace minerals required by the brain, like zinc, selenium, and iodine.
