While most diets warn Fort Lauderdale real estate owners against sweets, such as ice cream, that’s not really the problem. The important quality is not the amount of fat that food possesses, but the tendency that it will cause your body to produce fat. You produce fat in response to insulin secretion. And ice cream releases much less insulin into your blood than cornbread or even a low-fat bagel.

Rather than counting the carbs you take in, simply figure out which carbs raise your blood sugar and insulin. After all, high insulin causes your body to convert the food you eat into fat. But rather than sweets acting as the biggest blood sugar offender, starches are the big problem as they cause a much more prolonged elevation of sugar and insulin than simple sugars do.

Make sure you are getting the right fats in your diet. Cut out processed foods, high sugar intake and boost both Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. They both are essential to your body, but in the right ratio. For most of the time that humans have been on Earth, we ate foods that had Omega-6s and Omega-3s in the ratio of about 2:1. And without the proper fatty acids, our risk of disease skyrockets. The benefits of eating the right fats in a home for sale in Fort Lauderdale are practically endless and your body needs a steady supply.

Reinstating Lost Activities

Reinstating healthy activities into your daily routine, such as spending time with a good book and holding a family discussion, is extremely beneficial to improving your energy level. Rather than plopping in front of the TV or spending hours playing Nintendo, get physical. Right away, you can significantly lower your chance of a heart attack, and improve your brain function as well.

One trick to sharpening your memory is exercise. Once I get my body moving and my heart’s blood flowing, my memory is soon to follow. Brain Games, such as Scrabble and Tetris, can be a fun and effective ways to kick-start my brain as well. Of course, picking up a book always gets someone’s brain moving. After you’re done reading a chapter, review the material you’ve read. Maybe even discuss the content with a friend or a member of an online book club. Sleep always plays a vital role in brain power. But the most important ingredient to thinking clearly could quite possibly eat the right “brain food.”

Don’t let yourself run on an empty tummy. The result can be an empty skull as well.  A balanced diet will help keep your mind running strong all day long. Make sure to include plenty of fruits and leafy green vegetables, as they are full of essential antioxidants and nutrients to boost your brain power. Some of the best foods to feed your mind and body are blueberries, blackberries, fish and fish oils, eggs, spinach, strawberries, and almonds. A healthy diet, such as meat and fish, translates into higher concentration skills and overall brain power for Fort Lauderdale luxury homeowners.
