Boost Your Brain with SUGAR?! (Shocking)

By Jack Taylor Posted January 28, 2021

Dear Turapür Today Reader,

If you’re trying to keep yourself healthy, you might believe that indulging in sugar is the last thing you should do.

And of course, there is some truth to that.

Because yes, consuming TOO MUCH sugar (and refined carbohydrates) can lead to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and even heart attack or stroke.

But what if I told you that not ALL sugar is bad for you?

In fact, new research has just surfaced that proves sugar is actually good for and can BOOST your brain!

Here’s what you need to know.

Researchers from Japan have found that improving your glucose uptake (the main sugar found in your blood) in your brain can help you live a longer and healthier life!

Now, this doesn’t mean that you should start guzzling sugar.

But it does mean that your brain NEEDS the right kind of sugar to stay in tip-top shape as you age.

You see, your brain uses A TON of energy. In fact, studies have found that your brain consumes 20 percent of the oxygen and a quarter of the glucose your body takes in.

And to keep everything working properly, your body uses glucose to create adenosine triphosphate (ATP) – which is the fuel for your body’s main source of energy.

But as you age, your brain cells become less capable of making ATP… which means you must maintain healthy glucose levels to continue the production of ATP.

In other words, consuming healthy sugars regularly actually FUELS your brain.

But like I said earlier, this is NOT a green light to start downing sugar with reckless abandon.

Maintaining a healthy diet with a good mix of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts is the best way to ensure your brain has the right amount of glucose.

For instance, foods like apples, blueberries, almonds, and spinach are all great options.

And of course, there’s nothing wrong with indulging in a sugary treat every once in a while (moderation is key!).

If you’re concerned about your glucose levels, your doctor can order a simple blood test to determine what those levels look like.

And if you have diabetes (or a history of high blood sugar), be sure to speak to your doctor about a glucose uptake plan appropriate for you.
