7 Sins Which Will Slow Your Metabolism and Crush Your Performance, Part V: Brain Abuse

Dr. Amen, one of our clients at Stark, a world-renown brain expert, told me once that the fatter you become the smaller your brain gets. Therefore, it’s important to maintain a healthy weight. Further, the cliche’ “Use it or lose it” certainly applies to your brain. Keep your brain functioning at a high level and youthful by continually learning new things: crossword puzzles; matching games. Also, eat a diet high in fats from food sources like eggs, beef, sour cream. Get more rest, and make time to ‘play’ during the day. Another tip: avoid sugar. Americans consume, on average over 150 lbs of sugar per person per year. Diabetics are 4 times as likely to suffer from dementia!
