Nutrition Networking: Brain Psychiatry Impacts

Brain Disease starts in your daily breed. Our Brain is always ON, as it continuously takes care of our thoughts, breathing and movements. It continuously works 24/7. This means it requires constant supply of fuel and this supply of food comes from the stuff which we feed ourselves. This is the reason we need to keep our system in peak working conditions. Nutrition is always linked to the cognitive performance. Recent studies show that monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA’s) a class of nutrients found in olive oils, nuts and avocados are connected to optimum intelligence, and that this relationship is driven by the correlation between MUFAs and the organization of the brain’s attention network, studies are still under the cover in finding out what underlies the connection.

Today’s goal is to understand on how nutrition might be used to support cognitive performance and to study the ways in which nutrition may influence the functional organization of the human brain. The ongoing study is important because if we want to develop nutritional interventions that are effective at enhancing cognitive performance, we need to understand the ways that these nutrients influence brain function. Researchers examined the relationship between groups of fatty acids and brain networks that underlie general intelligence. This was a way to sought and understand if brain network organization mediated the relationship between fatty acids and general intelligence. Studies suggesting cognitive benefits of the General diet, which is rich in Mono saturated Fatty Acids, made the researchers to focus on this specific group of fatty acids. They examined nutrients in the recipient’s blood and found that the fatty acids clustered into two patterns: Saturated fatty acids and MUFAs. The approach was focused on Individual proteins. It was in co-relation with the Dietary patterns and the dietary intake of specific nutrients.

Studies revealed that the General Intelligence was mainly because of the Dorsal Attention network, which plays a critical role in demanding the regular tasks of everyday. The Neural network is well organized in a cluster of regions as well as the globally integrated systems. Studies showed that the Mono saturated Fatty Acids are related to the specific brain networks of dorsal attentional network and these are very well organized. The next level of study is to understand the relationship between the Mono saturated Fatty Acids and the general Intelligence. These findings relate the effect of Nutrition with the general Intelligence

To protect your brain, it’s good to follow the dietary intake which tends to be make the brain networking the superfast. Food ingredients like Sodium increases the risk of high blood pressure, a risk factor for stroke, and saturated fat and cholesterol can clog arteries, triggering a stroke. A heart healthy diet will reduce the risk of a stroke because heart and brain health go together. This means eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes and fish and reducing consumption of red meat and fatty foods.
