Welcome to the Restorative Longevity Podcast, where we explore how to live longer AND better. In this episode, we dive into the fascinating relationship between carbohydrates and brain function. Discover why glucose is your brain’s ultimate fuel and the risks of long-term low-carb or keto diets. Key Takeaways: • Why Your Brain Needs Carbs: Glucose is the exclusive energy source for your brain’s neurons, fueling everything from memory to cognition. • Simple vs. Complex Carbs: Learn the difference and why both play vital roles in maintaining energy and focus. • Debunking Myths: Not all sugars are created equal—your brain thrives on glucose, not sucrose or fructose. • Ketogenic Diets: While effective for weight loss, long-term keto diets may compromise brain function by forcing your body to rely on less efficient ketone bodies. Fun Fact: Your brain needs 62 grams of glucose daily—the equivalent of just 3 tablespoons of raw honey! Contrast that with the 16 pounds of chocolate chip cookies you’d need to meet the same requirement. 🍯🍪 🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe and share this episode with friends and family 🔔 Tune in every Sunday with Jimmy Yen Acu Sensei at 8:30am CST for simple, actionable tips to live a longer, healthier life, and achieve Restorative Longevity #RestorativeLongevity #BrainHealth #HealthyCarbs #LongevitySecrets #JimmyYen
