Your Brain Is What You Eat
What if the key to preventing Alzheimer's disease wasn't locked in a pharmaceutical lab but sitting in your kitchen? When neuroscientist Lisa Mosconi spoke about Alzheimer's prevention in Italy, an audience member asked an unexpected question about olive oil. That simple inquiry revealed something profound: while drug companies chase billion-dollar treatments with disappointing results, the most powerful brain medicine might already be on your dinner table. We've spent decades looking for cognitive decline solutions in all the wrong places. The truth is simpler and more revolutionary - your fork is one of the most powerful tools you have for shaping your brain's future. Your brain is the ultimate energy hog. Weighing just 2% of your body, it devours 20-25% of your daily energy - imagine a tiny CEO commanding a quarter of the company budget. Protected by skull, cushioned by fluid, and guarded by the blood-brain barrier - an ultra-selective security system - your brain carefully controls what enters its environment. This barrier acts like a nightclub bouncer, granting VIP access only to water, oxygen, and specific nutrients while blocking bacteria, toxins, and even certain hormones. What passes through becomes literally part of your brain tissue. You're not just what you eat; your brain is assembled from fragments of your environment. Unlike your body's composition, your brain is 80% water, 11% fat, 8% protein, and just 3% vitamins and minerals. This unique profile demands specific "brain-essential" nutrients our ancestors discovered accidentally through their water-rich environments and evolutionary journey.
