Crappy food is not a reward, it is a punishment.
Ever wondered just how bad sugar is for your body and brain? This episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast with Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen dives into the nitty-gritty of sugar's effects. Drawing from their popular End of Mental Illness live class, they break down why sugar is more than just a sweet treat—it’s a potential health hazard. You'll learn about the biological havoc sugar can wreak, from causing inflammation to affecting mental clarity.
The Amens don’t just leave you hanging with the bad news; they offer practical tips on how to limit your sugar intake and choose healthier alternatives. Think smart calories, healthy proteins, fats, complex carbs, and low-glycemic fruits. They also discuss the 'weapons of mass destruction' in the carbohydrate world that can make you fat and unhappy, and how to manage low blood sugar levels effectively. Curious about brain-healthy herbs and spices? They’ve got you covered there too.
The episode also touches on the inflammatory effects of dairy, soy, and corn, and suggests natural ways to heal your brain through nutrition rather than medication. Dr. Amen's memorable quote sums it up: 'Crappy food is not a reward, it is a punishment'. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to take control of their health by making informed dietary choices.
