Why Sweet #Breakfast Can Lead to Brain Fog #glucose #nutrition
Breakfast is often considered the most important meal of the day, but the choices we make can significantly influence our mental state. A common tendency is to reach for sweet foods in the morning.
The primary reason for our morning cravings is dopamine, the brain’s pleasure molecule. When we consume sweet foods such as orange juice and cereal, dopamine is released, providing a sense of enjoyment and satisfaction.
"Sweet Foods in the morning release dopamine in the brain which is the pleasure molecule."
The next time you're selecting your breakfast, consider the long-term impacts on your mental clarity. To combat the negative neural effects of sugary breakfast choices, opting for alternatives that don’t cause dramatic dopamine spikes may help maintain a better cognitive state throughout the day.
Making mindful meal choices can ultimately determine not just our physical health, but our mental sharpness as well.
