“Low fat,” “low carb” and “diet” are just
some of the catchy phrases that have helped to
aggravate a nutrition problem in America. But
with BrightFoods, it’s possible for our students
to eat their way to better health and improved
performance. (Chapter 10)

“When you eat, you’re not just refueling your
body, you’re feeding your brain” - Dr.
James Cocores.
Living in our culture
these days takes a tremendous amount of focus.
To meet our obligations and goals, we need to
draw on substantial energy reserves so we can
learn, remember, feel good and perform well.
Just as it is with our cars, it’s the quality of
the fuel we put in our tanks that determines how
smoothly we run. But in America today, the food
we choose to provide fuel to our minds and
bodies isn’t doing the job — about two-thirds of
all adults are overweight or obese, and roughly
one in three kids and teens are or are close to
being overweight. That’s a lot of calories going
to the wrong places, slowing us down, sapping
our energy reserves and dulling our mental
processes.
With over 800 medical journal
articles cited, BrightFoods offers the most comprehensive
analysis available of how foods potentially
impact brain cells, learning, memory, mood and
performance. BrightFoods creates innovative
nutritional programs designed to help improve
mental focus, behavior, weight control and
