The constituents of your first meal are of utmost importance.

What you choose to eat determines your entire brain chemistry throughout the day

How? Through neurotransmitters

These important brain chemicals determine how well you can tackle your daily challenges

THREAD
Eating carbohydrates early on in the day is a recipe for disaster.

They spike your insulin and allow for tryptophan, an amino acid, to selectively enter your brain from the bloodstream

Serotonin release skyrockets and makes you feel sleepy, a detriment to your productivity
A far better choice for all you high performers are proteins and fats.

Meat, eggs (choline) and dairy are pivotal to acetylcholine and dopamine reserves as they contain L-Tyrosine (amino acid).

These neurotransmitters keep you alert, focused and creative throughout the day.
Same applies for those of you who decide to intermittent fast.

You must feed yourself nutrient dense food for optimal performance

Consider your brain as the maestro to the symphonic orchestra of your wellbeing.

As the famous saying goes: You are what you eat
