TED-Ed: How the food you eat affects your brain - Mia Nacamulli

The video explains the nutritional composition of the brain, highlighting the importance of fats, proteins, amino acids, micronutrients, and glucose. It discusses how these components affect brain function, mood, and energy. Essential fatty acids like omegas 3 and 6 are crucial for brain health, while trans and saturated fats may be harmful. Proteins and amino acids influence neurotransmitter production, affecting mood and behavior. Micronutrients, including vitamins and minerals, support brain health and cognitive development. Carbohydrates provide energy, with different types affecting brain function and mood differently.
