In Episode 3 of the Nutrition Nibble Podcast, we share our conversation with Lisa on the role of food on our learning, focus, and mental health.

Lisa shares her advice on how food can make a difference to our brain function, and how the different macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein, fats) and hydration fuel our brain for sustained concentration. We learn about low glycemic index foods for maintaining steady blood sugar levels, and good study snack ideas to promote focus.

Finally, Lisa touches on the research that has been looking at the role food has on our mood and thought processes for positive mental health.

If you’d like to learn more about some of the topics we covered today, Lisa has shared links to other resources and fact sheets to help you on your way to healthy eating that’s right for you.
