Nutrition
A diet that provides all the macro and micronutrients necessary for the body is a solid basis for good health – even in old age!
Especially our neurons, especially the young ( first maturing) brain cells in the hippocampus, need the right building materials: nutrients and protective substances, so they can develop and become functional. But what special substances are these? Does our diet still contain these components in the required dose?
Ultra-processed foods, a stressful lifestyle and often unfavourable nutritional recommendations lead to wrong eating habits, which in turn promote chronic diseases.
