Food The Brain’s Best Medicine
The 5 Star Pro-Recovery Diet
Food feeds our brains, nervous systems, hormones, bones and much more, so we are basically...walking food. A vital key to full recovery is the food, and not just any food, but pro-recovery food, also known as...healthy life enhancing food.
The first 3 key components of this food plan are high quality proteins, fats and complex carbohydrates. Let’s break this down a bit more and add some fun food facts.
Star Number 1 is Protein. Protein is vital! It is the building blocks for amino acids, bones, tissue, nerves, blood, skin and organs. Wow...be sure that is on your plate!
Star Number 2 is Fat. Good fats are crucial! They are the cell coat for every single see in our bodies and brains. Good fats help in the production of all our hormones, prevent carbo cravings, produces a nice long energy ride, help support a healthy libido, helps keeps our skin glowing, our bowels regular and is 60% of our brain! So make sure to have those delicious high quality fats on you plate as well.
Star Number 3 Complex Carbohydrates...mostly veggies! So this group supports our energy with key nutrients, vitamins and minerals, which are necessary for the protein and fats to do their job. Like the music that comes from a full orchestra we need all the instruments for the sound to touch our souls. This is true with our food...we need all 3 of these major food groups in variety, to support our overall recovery and well-being.

The last keys to the pro-recovery 5 star diet are to eat 3 meals a day at regular intervals and create a balanced online brain. Eating 3 meals a day at regular intervals is a daily commitment to your recovery & health. For some a snack may be needed as well...PLEASE don’t miss a meal. The final key is a healthy happy gut microbiome...which is a very important element in good digestion, absorption of nutrients and optimal brain health!
