We are what we eat

I read this book written by a doctor on emm....brains.  Here it says, "the brain is connected to the body not only through the nervous system, but also through the more ancient system of chemical regulations which means whatever enters our bloodstream, from cekodok to nasi kerabu (changed to suit malaysian taste) , may effect the brain in a matter of seconds".

I would like to link the article to a hadith that says, to this  effect  'eat the good in what  is provisioned to you'. We are asked to choose and eat the good things . Before the scientist studied the brain, Islam has already taught us how to take care of our health. To begin with, Islam asks  us to eat good things.

Do you notice that good things have a nice appearence?  The animals that we are permitted to eat look  better then those we are not permitted to eat. With the exception of cats and poodles, fish, goats, cows and buffaloes look nicer than the lions, pigs and crocodiles. So,  one rule, see how the food looks like. Only cute animals  for me plz.

We see many verses in the Quran saying that Allah created fruits for humans. There are fruits in heaven too. Which emphasizes  the importance of fruits in our lives and as we already know,  the loads of vitamins that  we need, we get from fruits. And all the fruits that are mentioned in the Quran,  like the olives, dates, pommegranades and figs have the best quality of nutrients. That's why, I cannot,  not have fruits everyday.

Actually what I want to say here  is, what we eat effects what we think, as the book says.  Delving deeper, even the source of what we eat and the means of how we acquire what we eat,  play a part in  making who we are. Most importantly , we have to be more concern of what we put in our mouth to get better answers  from our brains.
