Part 3

What we eat may have the power to change our moods to stimulate certain impulses ,but could the food on our plates influence our decisions, the ones we believe we make using our free will ?

Answer:

When people are asked if the food they eat has an impact on health most answer yes but when asked if diet can influence thoughts and decisions ,very few people are willing to believe this is the case .The mechanism through which our mind thoughts and decision making depends on what you have eaten especially in the morning.

On average the person who has eaten little protein will most often reject unfair offers twice as often but how can this be ? In order to find answer blood test will be carried out ,to measure the level of hormones and amino acids (protein ) in the blood.Amino acid is one building block of a protein that is key to brain funtion ,dopamine .This molecule ensures communicat­ion between neurons involved in motivation and risk taking.The results of the blood analyses shows that a person who has taken more protein can tolerate unfair offer ,in othe words what we eat can subtle alter the chemistry of the brain and thus the communicat­ion between neurons enough to guide some of our decisions.

Since we eat 3 times every day we realise that food has immense power that is modifying and shaping mankind so its essential to think about how we can use food to promote our well being and optimise our well being ,not only does an unbalanced diet affect our brain funtions and behavior ,our meal plan interfere with our daily decision, it has also becomes increasing­ly clear that diet plays a decisive role in our mood and possibly mental health .It should be noted here that without external environmen­tal forces to influence a person thought and decisions carbohydra­te and protein does play a role in individual decisions and thoughts. What about junk food dripping with bad fats and sugar ,what will happen to human thoughts a decisons ? Answers in part 4
