Just as your phone needs a charger, your brain needs FOOD! 

Healthy food helps keep you on track, while unhealthy food makes your brain slow down, and you can sometimes lose track of stuff. We require important nutrients such as protein, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and healthy fats every day.  Protein helps your body repair cells and make new ones.
