"When it comes to what you bite, chew and swallow, your choices have a direct and long-lasting effect on the most powerful organ in your body: your brain. So which foods cause you to feel so tired after lunch? Or so restless at night? Mia Nacamulli takes you into the brain to find out." -TED-Ed

Myths you learned in health class
Healthy Eating

"Remember learning about the food pyramid in health class? As it turns out, it was based on a lot of misinformation about nutrition. In this episode, we explore the source of some of the lasting myths about healthy foods and fitness and the new science shaping health class today." -The Atlantic

"What is healthy eating anyway? It’s when you eat nutritious foods in amounts that lead to better health and wellness. And it has a big impact on managing your diabetes. With a meal plan, healthy eating doesn’t have to be a challenge. Your health care team can help you create a meal plan that fits your goals, tastes, lifestyle, and any medicines you’re taking." -Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
