It allows you to move freely.

So you're going to lose muscle.

You're going to lose mitochondria.

And we know from research that when you lose mitochondria, your mental health is going to be affected.

So you could enter that cycle that you were mentioning where you basically get stuck in foods that are not nourishing you enough.

And then because you might have a glance at any particular time, you have a claims of clarity and you think, what am I doing?

I'm eating all these foods that are kind of not sustaining me just because they're easy.

And I don't feel good, but I'm going to keep eating them because they are comforting.

And then you get into that kind of like rot.

So I think as I was saying before, rather than actually trying to overhaul your diet and say, I can see myself being in that rot.

How do I come out?

Try to do it little by little.

So a few blueberries, you know, do I need to drink kefir every day?

but I don't like it.

Well, what about if you just mix a couple of teaspoons of it in a smoothie with the blueberries that you have just bought?

You know, so it doesn't need to be like a massive change.

It could be... The body and nutrition is more about consistency than massive changes.

So if you do something more regularly, your gut...

microbes are going to like it better than if you completely change it from one day to the next and then you think okay that was nice now i'm going to go back to my old tricks it's about how do you keep it in place and how do you make it sustainable so it's not a chore every time you need to think about a meal that you think oh have i got the cognitive capacity to think about this meal now so think about that how can you make your nutrition

Easy enough, so when you open the fridge, it's not a whole battleground as to what you choose to eat.
