Today i’ve learned a very interesting fact that sperm whale has the most weighing brain, up to 8 kilos which is unbelievable and extremely intriguing. How to feed your brain? You can adopt a balanced diet, eating more leafy green vegetables and eat fruit and vegetables of all colours. What more, stop eating pre-made, processed, altered food is vital. Although chucking it in the microwave seems easy and convenient, you can still batch cook or do your brain boosting meal in 20 minutes flat.

I've learned a lot from this video. Firstly, food can change our mood and alter our brain chemistry. Secondly, eating a balanced diet provides us the complement of vitamins and minerals. Thirdly, we need to do batch cook instead of eating fast food despite its convinence.

This video is very helpful. I learned a lot of information and vocabulary about how we can feed our brain. - A sugar rush is when someone feels very excited and full of energy after eating a lot of sugar. - The sperm whale has the biggest brain, weighing 8 kilos. - A balanced diet is eating good food to stay healthy. - "20 minutes flat" means exactly 20 minutes. - When someone goes low on something, It means they have a little of it. - Rainbow rules mean eating food of different colors with plenty of leafy greens. - Superfood refers to very nutritious foods like Alaskan salmon, which is considered a very expensive type of food that the super-rich buy. - Batch cooking means cooking a lot of food at the same time, usually by freezing it. - If I were to describe someone as sharp, it means they are intelligent. - Pre-made food is easy, but it's not considered good for health.
