Three important elements/nutrition biomarkers to prioritize for your brain and nerve health:
Vitamin B12: it’s deficiency has been associated with neuropathy and cognitive impairment.
Vitamin D: low levels of vitamin D has been associated with poor performance on neuropsychological assessment, and dementia later in life.
Omega 3 fatty acids: the only type of fat that an adult brain needs, it’s important to consume enough of it through food or supplementation for peak brain health.
There’s more to the colors we see than what meets our eyes; thanks to the quirky nature of perception, colors seen in context with other hues can be completely transformed.
