Your body is an engine. It needs fuel to run.
In a everyday car or a racecar, short term, its engine will run on almost
anything. But if it is inferior fuel, then performance will be affected. And if
it is truly bad fuel, then there can be major or irreparable damage done to the
engine.
Your body and your brain run just like an engine. Food is your fuel.
The choice is yours to make as far as what level
of food fuel to give your engine:
Low-performance food fuel examples: sugar, soda, caffeine, highly refined carbs,
high fat foods
High-performance food fuel examples: fruits, vegetables, water, whole grains,
low fat protein sources.
As with all skills, these can't be taught and learned the two weeks before
you head off to college.
These skills need to be worked on as you live so that by the time you are on
your own, they are part of your nature and habits.
