Today, we’re going to talk about the effect of sugar on the brain.
Sugar causes a temporary spike in dopamine, which affects your mood and behavior—making you feel happy. However, the receptors for dopamine can eventually start downgrading. This means that it will take more and more sugar to create the same effect.
Concentration and focus require a good amount of cognitive power. Sugar alters the inhibitory parts of the brain—causing you to have less control over your brain and making it difficult to concentrate. Sugar also atrophies and ages the brain over time and reduces blood flow to the brain.
Medications like Ritalin are sometimes used to treat conditions like ADHD, where people may have a problem with focus and concentration. However, medications come with side effects.
The Sugar Association says that sugar is fine in moderation. They also say that carbs are the #1 source of energy in the body. But, we know that you can also run your body on ketones.
Another thing they say is that your brain needs sugar. While certain parts of your brain do need sugar, this can come from the sugar your body makes naturally—you don’t need to consume sugar.
What you can do to support focus and concentration:
1. Stop consuming sugar and try alternative sugars
2. Take natural vitamin B1 or nutritional yeast
3. Start fasting (18 hours a day with a six-hour eating window)

“Have you ever had a gut feeling or butterflies in your stomach? Has hunger ever changed your mood? Our bellies and brains are physically and biochemically connected in a number of ways, meaning the state of our intestines can alter the way our brains work and behave, giving a whole new meaning to ‘Food for thought’.
As a nutritionist, microbiologist and neuroscientist, Ruairi Robertson is passionate about the link between our bellies and brains. His research is examining how our intestines and the microbes within them can influence both physical and mental health, and most importantly how our diets influence this relationship. Ruairi has travelled the world researching food, and believes it is the key to global public health. Ruairi is a PhD student in University College Cork in Ireland and current Fulbright Scholar (2015/16) to Harvard University.

Skipping the breakfast is a major problem we see now in our population. But skipping breakfast results in acid reflux, acidity problems, constipation and also because once we skip our breakfast, we tend to eat more of our lunch, and more of our dinner then it leads on to obesity or weight gain. Once there is more obesity or weight gain, we develop fatty liver disease and we develop diabetes, we develop blood pressure and diabetes. That is why skipping your breakfast isn’t good and we should eat heavy breakfast, medium lunch, and less dinner.

A key element in brain health is nutrition, say researchers who believe the number one factor that you have control over in terms of your mental health is at the end of your fork. Susan Spencer talks with Dr. Drew Ramsey, a psychiatrist who in his book “Eat Complete” prescribes a healthier diet in order to combat depression; Samantha Elkrief, a trained chef and wellness coach; and neuroscientist Lisa Mosconi (author of “Brain Food”), for whom brain scans reveal the differences in brain structure between those who eat a Mediterranean diet and those who consume standard Western fare.

Dr. Barnard has led numerous research studies investigating the effects of diet on diabetes, body weight, and chronic pain, including a groundbreaking study of dietary interventions in type 2 diabetes, funded by the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Barnard has authored over 70 scientific publications as well as 17 books. As president of the Physicians Committee, Dr. Barnard leads programs advocating for preventive medicine, good nutrition, and higher ethical standards in research. He has hosted three PBS television programs on nutrition and health and is frequently called on by news programs to discuss issues related to nutrition and research. Originally from Fargo, North Dakota, Dr. Barnard received his M.D. degree at the George Washington University School of Medicine and completed his residency at the same institution. He practiced at St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York before returning to Washington to found the Physicians Committee.

When you eat something loaded with sugar, your taste buds, your gut and your brain all take notice. This activation of your reward system is not unlike how bodies process addictive substances such as alcohol or nicotine — an overload of sugar spikes dopamine levels and leaves you craving more. Nicole Avena explains why sweets and treats should be enjoyed in moderation.

Dr. Liz Applegate’s presentation discusses specific foods and dietary supplements that may enhance brain health and transform diet to one that supports healthy aging and memory performance. Dr. Applegate is Director of Sports Nutrition and a Distinguished Lecturer at the University of California, Davis. Her educational focus is eating for optimal health and performance. She writes a column for Runner’s World, appears on national TV & radio and speaks to people of all ages about practical and science based approaches to optimizing oneself through diet.
This lecture is part of UC Davis Health System’s Alzheimer’s Disease Center 2016 Community Lecture Series sponsored by Sunrise Senior Living and Aegis Living. It was delivered live at the Lesher Center for the Arts in Walnut Creek, California on November 29, 2016.

Apart from body fitness, physical exercise also has beneficial effects on the brain. A regular routine of aerobic exercise can improve memory, thinking skills, moods; and have protective effects against aging, injuries and neurodegenerative disorders.
It is noteworthy that these effects are specific to “aerobic” exercise – the kind of exercise that accelerates heart rate and respiratory rate, such as running, cycling, swimming… Non-aerobic activities, such as stretching or muscle building, do not have the same effect. The effects appear to result from increased blood flow to the brain and subsequent increase in energy metabolism. A certain degree of intensity is required to achieve the beneficial outcome.
Aerobic exercise increases the production of several growth factors of the nervous tissue, known as neurotrophic factors, among which BDNF, for Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, has a central role. BDNF exerts a protective effect on existing neurons, and stimulates formation of new neurons from neural stem cells in a process called neurogenesis.
BDNF appears to coordinate its action with at least 2 other growth factors: insulin-like growth factor 1, IGF-1, and vascular endothelial growth factor, VEGF, whose expression levels also increase following aerobic exercise. BDNF interacts with IGF-1 to induce neurogenesis, while VEGF stimulates growth of new blood vessels, a process known as angiogenesis. Together these processes improve survival of existing neurons, produce new brain tissue, and constitute the brain’s enhanced plasticity that underlies the exercise-induced protective effect against aging, degenerative diseases and injuries.
Changes in BDNF levels are observed throughout the brain but are most remarkable in the hippocampus, the area that is responsible for memory retention and learning. In fact, regular exercise has been shown to increase the size of the hippocampus and improve cognitive functions.
While acute exercise, defined as a single workout, can produce significant changes in BDNF levels and subsequent improvements in learning performance; a regular exercise program progressively increases BDNF baseline level and make its response steadier overtime. It appears that some cognitive functions are enhanced immediately after a single workout, while others only improve following a consistent exercise routine.
The immediate effect of acute exercise is most remarkable on the body’s affective state. A single bout of exercise can promote positive emotions, suppress negative feelings, reduce the body’s response to stress, and sometimes, after intense exercise, induce a euphoric state known as “runner’s high” sensation. These effects may persist for up to 24 hours, and are thought to result from exercise-induced upregulation of several neurotransmitters involved in mood modulation. These include:
– Dopamine – a neurotransmitter of the brain reward pathways;
– Serotonin, commonly known as the substance of well-being and happiness, whose low levels in the brain have been associated with depressive disorders;
– Beta-endorphin, or endogenous morphine, an endogenous opioid;
– and anandamide, an endogenous cannabinoid, a substance related to psychoactive chemicals in marijuana. Endogenous opioids and cannabinoids are involved in pain modulation, stress and anxiety reduction and are believed to underlie the “runner’s high” sensation.
