There are plenty of zombie movies out there and many seem to be coming up. But one lesson you can take from all these movies is that a bad diet will lead to you being as brain dead as a Zombie.
Our brains need nutrients and a healthy diet in order for it to function at optimum levels. High-powered brain foods contain complex carbohydrates, fiber, lean protein and unsaturated fats, and these needs can be satisfied with a diet rich with fruits, vegetables, whole-grains, fish and good quality meats.
Processed foods rich with unsaturated fats on the other hand have been recently found to lead to long-term mental problems, besides the physical issues of obesity and heart disease. These effects stem from a far too regular diet of potato chips, fast food, and sweets.
So the next time you catch a Zombie movie, how about ditching the soda for a bottle of water and popcorn for some mixed nuts to keep your brain alive and kicking!
