Why Sugar Is Bad For Your Brain

Why Sugar Is Bad For Your Brain
- Mental Health Awareness Week (May 8th-14th) is just around the corner. This year’s theme “Surviving or Thriving?” centres around the concept that good mental health is “more than the absence of a mental health problem”, as stated on the Mental Health Foundation Website. It seeks to uncover why some people, too, are thriving with good mental health.
There certainly is no single answer to this question. But this much is clear: A healthy, balanced diet is a key factor for good mental health, learning ability and general well-being. And this healthy, balanced diet certainly does not include a daily sugar binge on a microwave meal followed by a packet of Hobnobs, doughnuts or a pot of Ben & Jerry’s.
