Connected nutrition

This is a simple short post that has some connectivity to your brain function. It will not make more creative ideas, or give you a tool that will enable these creative ideas. What it will do is to provide a valuable piece of advise that will make you see the connectivity with all that is around.

Many people have preferences or aversions when it comes to foods. I myself hate brussels sprouts. I have no understanding to why, but I know hat the taste is not that palatable to me, and so I avoid them. For many children growing up they have the same natural dislike for vegetables and fruit. More so the vegetables. There is a reason for this. As a body grows it needs more energy. Energy comes from carbohydrates that are not found in fruit or vegetables. Instead they are found in cereal based products and sugars. Hence the craving for kids to eat sweets and avoid the greens.

Now, regardless of the natural development there is also other stimuli that needs to be met. The brain, even as a child, needs nourishment. The brain naturally takes it's food from proteins entering the body. Not a bad thing that many children have a overbearing parental concern for the children to eat their meats before their veggies. However, what we see is the the physical development of such things as bow conditions, and obesity, that seems from such matters as eating an unbalanced diet.

Now, as all the aspects of eating a healthy diet have been set as a goal to be designed by the participant rather than the natural order of things, then many people avoid balanced diets due to likings, economics, availability, etc. However, and this is something I stipulate in my creative thinking lessons, there is no harm in drinking an orange juice each morning.

The reasoning for this? Well, the actual transfer of proteins into the brain requires them to be broken down into their smallest constituent parts. The body requires help in this matter, and the way this actually occurs is via vitamin assistance. Vitamins in the fruit and vegetables we eat actually work to break down the protein and allow it to transfer into the brain.

So, this is a very important tool in the process of creative thinking. A healthy mind is a thinking mind. A thinking mind makes better ideas work. after all, any given situation is merely a problem seeking a solution.

This is not the only thing that is required, but hopefully it will help you see that connections in food, rest, stimulus, etc can all work together to aid in the creative process. And if you are curious, orange juice is different to eating an orange, mainly as it takes more time to digest an orange than the juices from it.
eat well, think better.
