Roses with Thorns

Most people don't know this, but calories go straight to the brain. Scientists have proven that more calories in the blood cause the brain to become more efficient by causing neurons to rewire.

Calories don't just make thinking easier. They cause permanent gains in intelligence. They're the ultimate smart drug.

It's easy to eat for superlearning. What may be more difficult is to convince oneself that they can afford to add calories for their figure. It's an easily resolved dilemma.

My Bikram yoga instructor told her class that they could eat anything they wanted to for the rest of the day after class. Obviously, yoga lessons bring weight gain under control. With that kind of power, you could determine how you gain weight. If you want to eat more, just do more yoga.

Calories are good for the brain, but there are other chemicals in food that enhance intelligence.

They're the pigment that gives produce their color, and they're included in most whole food blends which are abundant in phytochemicals.
