Researchers Are finding Hal these nutrients affect the brain when taken in a pure orm and not mixed with others that appear in say Chicken a la icing. The new approach comes from research Hal shows in great detail just How the foods we eat affect the brain and How a Given meal raises or Lowers specific  the chemicals thai transmit signals Between brain cells. The ability of a meal s composition to ailed the production of brain chemicals distinguishes the brain from All other organs said Richard Kurlman a psychical list at Mit who has been the Leader in the new research. The crucial compounds thai regulate other organs Are largely Independent of whatever was in the fas i meal Weald but not the  within hours Afler a meal the Levels of certain neurotransmitters vary according to the Levels of carbohydrates or proteins hat were consumed that fact Wurtman proposed provides the psychiatrist with a novt strategy to Uso food or substances concentrated from it As they would drugs.

Although doctors have known Lor More than a Century that asthmatics breathe More easily during exercise the attacks alter Ford were usually so Dobitz titling that patients became frightened of exerting themselves. At the Center of the new thinking about exercise and asthma is the discovery that a patient s asthma will respond to aerobic training in Iho same manner As the rest of the body.
