Food : A Neuron

When we are between the ages of 17 and 21, we often become philosophical. The primary question that arises is, "Who am I? Why am I here? Why have I been born into this mortal world?" Let me tell you, about 60 to 70% of you is water and the rest is mass. Out of this mass, 80 to 90% of you is bacteria. If you want to know more about yourself, get your genetic tests done. This will reveal who you actually are, who your ancestors were, and where they used to live. However, I'm sure many of you will not do that because it requires effort, which might be hard work for some people. Thinking is easy, and your brain seeks comfort. Now, let's talk about food and neurons. Neurons are a whole different subject. Neurons transmit signals to the brain. From breathing to excretion, we do everything because of neurons. Our belly controls our neurons, and the information they carry depends a lot on our food. We have the highest number of neurons in our childhood, around 10 billion. This number decreases day by day, and the rate of formation is low while the rate of loss is very high. Our wit, wisdom, brain efficiency, reactions, and body mechanisms depend on our neurons, which are continuously decreasing. While we can't affect the rate of formation, we can control the rate of loss by managing our food and water intake. Unfortunately, our food habits are devastating. Predicting the health of future generations based on current food habits is concerning. About 90% of our cells are bacterial cells, so we should look for foods that are suitable for our bodies. Many people are intolerant to gluten, lactose, meat, and more, without even realizing it. We consume excessive amounts of sugar and refined carbohydrates every day, making us more prone to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other health issues. Despite being aware of these issues, we often lack control over our sugar consumption. Sugar has become a major health threat, yet we consume it from the moment we wake up. While it may provide a temporary energy boost, we often experience lethargy and crankiness as the day progresses. It's important to eat according to your body's needs and observe the difference.
