Your BRAIN is the most powerful organ in your body, and just like your muscles, it needs the right fuel to work at its best. Scientists have discovered that the brain uses about 20 percent of all the ENERGY your body makes every day — even while you sleep. That energy comes from the FOOD you eat, which gets broken down into nutrients that travel through your BLOOD to reach your brain. Without the right fuel, your thinking, mood, and memory can all suffer. The field of scientists who study how food affects the brain and body is called NUTRITION, and it turns out what is on your plate matters more than most people realize.
