Welcome to Huberman Lab Essentials, where we revisit past episodes for the most potent and actionable science-based tools for mental health,
2
physical health, and performance.
3
I'm Andrew Huberman, and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine.
4
Today, we are talking all about food and the brain.
5
We are going to talk about foods that are good for your brain in terms of focus, in terms of brain health generally, and the longevity of your brain,
6
your ability to maintain cognition and clear thinking over time.
7
We are also going to talk about why and how you prefer certain foods to others.
8
And I'm going to talk about the three major signals that combine to drive your food choices.
9
One of those signals comes from your gut and is completely subconscious.
10
These are neurons in your gut that are sending signals to your brain
11
that you are unaware of about the nutrient contents of the foods that you're eating.
12
The second signal is how metabolically accessible a given food is, meaning how readily that food can be converted into energy that your brain,
13
not your body, but that your brain can use.
14
And the third signal is perhaps the most interesting one.
15
It's the signal of belief.
16
It's the signal of what you perceive and believe the food
17
that you're eating to contain and what you think it can do for you health-wise and energy-wise.
18
what are the things that directly impact brain health
19
and what are the foods that we can eat that will support brain health?
20
Generally, when we think about neuron function and brain function, we default to a discussion about fuel, the fact that neurons use glucose,
21
which is blood sugar, and that they require a lot of it.
22
But before we can even consider the fuels that neurons use in order to function,
23
we have to talk about the elements that actually allow those neurons to be there and to stay healthy, what actually makes up those neurons.
24
And that brings us to what I would argue is the most important food element for brain function, and that is fat.
25
And that might come as a surprise, but unless one considers the water content of the brain,
26
which is very high, a lot of our brain and a lot of the integrity of the nerve cells,
27
the so-called neurons in our brain and the other types of cells comes from fat.
28
And that's because nerve cells and other cells in the brain have a external layer.
29
It's what's sometimes called a double-layered membrane.
30
It's essentially two thin layers that serve as a boundary between those cells.
31
And that boundary is very important because how things pass across that boundary actually regulates the electrical activity of neurons,
32
which is the way that neurons fire and communicate
33
and keep you thinking and acting and doing all the good things that those neurons allow us to do.
34
And those membranes are made up of fats, but they're not made up of the fats that are around our belly, around the other organs of our body, they're not made up of storage fat,
35
they are made up of structural fat.
36
And maintaining the so-called integrity of that structural fat, meaning the health of those neurons, is going to come in large part from the foods that we eat.
37
So what type of fat is it and what should we eat in order to support that fat and those neurons?
38
And the answer is the so-called essential fatty acids and phospholipids.
39
Now, those are more or less the same thing, but I just want to make a very large literature, very crystal clear.
40
Essential fatty acids can include the so-called EPA variety or DHA variety.
41
You hear about omega-3s and omega-6s.
42
Most people are getting enough omega-6s from their diet.
43
However, most people are not getting enough omega-3s in their diet to support healthy brain function in the short and long-term.
44
What are foods that are high in omega-3s that we should all probably be consuming, at least on a daily basis.
45
The number one is fish.
46
Now, I don't know about you, but I'm not eating a lot of fish.
47
I will from time to time, but that's one reason why one might want to supplement with EPAs from another source.
48
But also EPAs are found in chia seeds, in walnuts, in soybeans, and other plant-based foods.
49
You can look these up online and you'll immediately see that there are a lot of sources of EPAs.
50
And many of the foods that I listed off might be appetizing to you.
51
Some of them might be unappetizing to you, or some of them you might be sort of neutral about.
52
But it's very clear that eating foods that are rich in omega-3s
53
and or supplementing with omega-3s to get above that 1.5 grams, and ideally up to two or even three grams per day of EPA,
54
can be very beneficial for cognitive function in the short and long term.
55
The other compound that has been shown to be directly supportive of neuronal function is phosphatidylserine,
56
which is abundant in meats and in fish.
57
So for those of you that do consume meat and fish, provided you're getting enough fish, you're probably getting enough phosphatidylserine.
58
For those of you that are interested in supplementing the phosphatidylserine, it's a relatively inexpensive supplement that again is lipid-like.
59
So it's mimicking some of the same things that you would get from food, but in higher concentration.
60
Now, after EPA, fatty acids and phosphatidylserine,
61
I would say third on the list of things that come from food that can readily support brain function would be choline.
62
And that's because of the relationship to choline in the biosynthesis pathway for acetylcholine.
63
Acetylcholine is a neuromodulator, not a neurotransmitter, but a neuromodulator in the brain.
64
So it's kind of a electrical highlighter pen, if you will, by analogy.
65
That is the basis of much of what we call focus
66
or our ability to concentrate on a particular batch of information that's coming in through our eyes, our ears, our nose, or even things that we're just thinking in our head.
67
And not surprisingly then, many of the treatments for Alzheimer's disease, which is an inability or challenges with remembering things and focusing,
68
are drugs that impact the acetylcholine pathway
69
and are aimed at enhancing the amount of acetylcholine that's available
70
to neurons the primary source for dietary choline would be eggs and in particular egg yolks.
71
Eggs are an incredibly rich source of nutrients for the brain.
72
And that's because the egg actually, if you think about it, contains all the nutrients that are required in order for an organism to grow.
73
So if you're somebody who doesn't eat eggs or doesn't want to eat eggs, things like potatoes, nuts and seeds and grains and fruit, they don't have as much choline as eggs,
74
but they do contain cholines.
75
In general, most people should probably strive to get somewhere between 500 milligrams and a gram of choline per day, so 1,000 milligrams.
76
Next on my list of compounds that have been shown in peer-reviewed research to improve neuronal and brain function is creatine.
77
Creatine can be derived from meat sources.
78
It can also be supplemented.
79
Creatine can actually be used as a fuel source in the brain,
80
and there's some evidence that it can enhance the function of certain frontal cortical circuits that feed down onto,
81
or rather connect to areas of the brain that are involved in mood regulation and motivation.
82
What is the threshold level of creatine to supplement in order to get the cognitive benefit?
83
Appears to be at least five grams per day.
84
Now, the most typical form of creatine is so-called creatine monohydrate.
85
I think it's interesting that creatine supplementation of five grams per day, that's creatine monohydrate, has been shown to improve cognition in people that aren't getting creatine from animal sources.
86
So I personally take creatine five grams per day and have for a very long time.
87
I can't say that I've noticed a tremendous benefit because I've actually never really come off it.
88
And so I've never done the control experiment.
89
I take it more as kind of a baseline insurance policy for me, but what I can say is that I generally consume these things like EPAs,
90
creatine, alpha GPC to set a general context of support for my neurons, for my brain.
91
And of course, I also pay attention to the foods that contain these various compounds.
92
So I don't actively eat additional meat just to obtain creatine.
93
I eat a fairly limited amount of meat.
94
I don't restrict it, and I do eat meat, but I don't actively seek out creatine in my diet.
95
Rather, I use supplementation in order to hit that five grams per day threshold.
96
Next on the list of foods that are beneficial for brain health is one
97
that you've probably seen pictures
98
because there seems to be a practice of putting pictures of blueberries
99
and other dark berries next to any title that says foods that benefit your brain.
100
There are a lot of foods out there that have been purported to improve brain function.
101
The interesting thing about blueberries and other berries,
102
blackberries, dark currants, any of these thin skin berries that are purplish in color
103
is that they contain what are called anthocyanins anthocyanins actually have some really nice data to support the fact
104
that they improve brain function.
105
Now, whether or not it is direct effects on neurons or whether or not it is by lowering inflammation
106
or some other modulatory effect isn't quite clear,
107
but I think by now there's enough data to support the fact that eating a cup or two of blueberries pretty often,
108
every day, or maybe you have blackberries or maybe it's black currants, that these anthocyanins are good for us,
109
that they are enhancing our overall wellbeing at a number of different levels.
110
So we've got EPA fatty acids, we've got phosphatidylserine, we've got choline, we've got creatine, and we have the anthocyanins.
111
And the last item that I'd like to place in this list of food-derived things that can enhance brain function is glutamine.
112
Glutamine is a very interesting amino acid.
113
I've talked about glutamine on here before.
114
There's some evidence, although somewhat scant, there's some evidence that glutamine can enhance immune system function.
115
So people will supplement with glutamine or people can get glutamine from foods.
116
Foods that contain a lot of glutamine are things like cottage cheese.
117
There are also other sources of glutamine.
118
Glutamine is rich in protein-rich foods, things like beef, chicken, fish,
119
dairy products, eggs, but also for you non-animal food consuming people out there,
120
vegetables, including beans, cabbage, once again, spinach, parsley, things of that sort.
121
So those foods contain glutamine.
122
For people that supplement with glutamine, generally they will take anywhere from a gram, as much as 10 grams per day.
123
Why would they want to do that?
124
Well, there's also some evidence starting to emerge that glutamine can help offset sugar cravings.
125
In brief, we all have neurons in our gut that sense the amino acid content,
126
the fat content, and the sugar content of the foods that we eat and signal in a subconscious way to our brain,
127
whether or not the foods that we are eating contain certain levels of certain amino acids.
128
And so we actually have glutamine sensing neurons in our gut that actually have their little processes, their little axons and dendrites,
129
as we call them, in the mucosal lining of the gut.
130
They're not just sensing glutamine, but when they do sense glutamine, they respond and they send signals to the brain that are signals of satiation, of satisfaction.
131
And in doing so can offset some of the sugar cravings that many people suffer from.
132
So that more or less completes the list of things that at least by my read of the literature
133
are things that are supported by at least three,
134
and in some cases, as many as hundreds of studies in various populations that have been explored in mouse studies often,
135
but also in a number of human studies.
136
I want to emphasize again, that all of the things I listed out, whether or not it's EPAs, whether or not it's phosphatidylserine, whether or not it's choline,
137
whether or not it's the various compounds that are in berries, et cetera, all of those can be extracted from food.
138
There is not any law that says that you have to get them from supplementation.
139
Supplementation can help you get to the very high levels of those things if you want to work on the higher end, if that's right for you,
140
obviously check with your doctor before taking anything or removing anything from your diet or supplement regime.
141
But in general, you can get these things from foods.
142
It just so happens that for some of these compounds, the foods that they're contained in like fish are not foods that I particularly enjoy.
143
And so I rely on, excuse me, I rely on supplements in order to get sufficient levels for me.
144
But again, you can get these levels from food.
145
And the reason I made this list,
146
the reason that I emphasize these things in this particular order is that they support the structure of neurons.
147
They support the structure of the other cells of the brain
148
that make up our cognition and that are important for our focus and our ability to remember things and so forth.
149
And they are less so in the category of so-called modulatory effects.
150
They will also have modulatory effects on sleep, on inflammation or reducing inflammation throughout the body,
151
on cardiovascular function, all of which I believe are positive effects, at least what the literature tells us is
152
that none of these compounds are harming other systems of the body provided they are taken at reasonable levels.
153
But everything in this list is directed towards answering the question, what can I eat?
154
What can I ingest by way of food and or food supplement
155
that can support brain function in the short-term and in the long-term?
156
So I hope you find that list beneficial for you, if not for use, at least for consideration.
157
So now having talked about some of the foods and micronutrients that are beneficial to our immediate and long-term brain health,
158
I'd like to shift gears somewhat and talk about why it is that we like the foods that we like.
159
We've all heard before that we are hardwired to pursue sugar
160
and to like fatty foods and that calorie-rich foods are attractive to us for all sorts of reasons, surviving famines and things of that sort.
161
And while that is true, the actual mechanisms that underlie food seeking and food preference are far more interesting than that.
162
There are basically three channels in our body and nervous system by which we decide what foods to pursue,
163
how much to eat, and whether or not we will find a particular food attractive, whether or not we will want to consume more of it, whether or not we want to avoid it,
164
or whether or not it's just sort of so-so what I refer to as the yum, yuck, or meh analysis.
165
And indeed, that's what our nervous system is doing with respect to food.
166
So let's talk about what these three channels for food preference are.
167
The first one is an obvious one.
168
It's taste on the mouth.
169
It is the sensation that we have of the foods that we eat while we're chewing them.
170
And those sensations, which are literally just somatosensory touch sensations,
171
you know, the palatability of food as it relates to the consistency of food.
172
That's important.
173
And as you've all heard before, we have sensors on our tongue and elsewhere in our mouth
174
that detect the various chemicals contained within food and lead to the senses of taste, which we call bitter, sweet, umami, salty, and sour.
175
The umami receptor is a receptor that responds to the savory taste of things.
176
So that's what you might find in a really wonderfully rich tomato sauce
177
for those of you that eat meat and like meat, a really well-cooked, not necessarily well done, but properly cooked, I should say,
178
steak, if that's your thing.
179
And umami is present in both plant and animal foods and gives us that sensation of savoriness.
180
So we have those five basic tastes.
181
Those are chemical sensors on the tongue that what we call transduce those chemicals, those chemicals literally in food bind to those receptors.
182
and it is transduced, meaning the binding of those chemicals to the receptors is converted into an electrical signal
183
that travels in from the tongue along what's called the gustatory nerve, then synapses, meaning it makes connections in our brainstem,
184
in the so-called nucleus of the solitary tract.
185
There are other nuclei back there.
186
Nuclei are just aggregates of neurons.
187
And then it sends information up to the so-called insular cortex.
188
The insular cortex is a incredible structure that we all have
189
that mainly is concerned with so-called interoception or our perception of what's going on inside our body.
190
So it could be the amount of pressure in our gut because of how much food we've eaten.
191
It could be the acidity of our gut if we're having a little bit of indigestion, for instance.
192
And not surprisingly, the taste system sends information up to the insular cortex to give us a sense,
193
literally, of what we've ingested, whether or not what we're tasting tastes good or not.
194
What this means is that your perception of what you like is a central, meaning deep within the brain, phenomenon.
195
It's not about how things taste on your mouth.
196
But as we'll see in a few minutes, turns out that that is not a direct relationship that is hardwired.
197
You can actually uncouple the preference for particular tastes with the reward systems in the brain.
198
It's actually possible to rewire one's sense of taste and preference for particular foods.
199
But the most important thing to understand is that like with our hearing,
200
like with vision, like with smell,
201
taste is an internal representation that has particular goals for you.
202
Your sense of what tastes good is related to particular things that are occurring in your brain and body, and that are likely to give your brain and body the things that it needs.
203
It is not simply a matter of what you quote unquote like or what tastes good or what doesn't taste good.
204
Let me give you a relatively simple example
205
of how your body
206
and your brain are acting in a coordinated way to make you prefer certain foods and indeed to pursue certain foods more.
207
So I just mentioned you have neurons on your tongue that respond to different tastes, but of course your digestive tract isn't just your tongue, it's also your throat.
208
It goes all the way down to your stomach and of course your intestines.
209
Here's a long tube of digestion.
210
All along that tube, there are neurons.
211
Some of the neurons are responding to the mechanical size of whatever portion of the digestive tract it happens to be.
212
So for instance, how distended or empty or full rather, it doesn't have to be distended, how, it depends on how much you ate, but how full or empty your gut happens to be,
213
whether or not something you just ate is temperature hot, you know, in the sense of hot to the touch, or whether or not it's spicy hot, whether or not it's soothing,
214
whether or not it's kind of hard to swallow, this kind of thing.
215
So you have neurons all along your gut that are responding to the mechanics related to food and digestion, and that are related to the chemistry of food and digestion.
216
There's a population of neurons, nerve cells in your gut that are exquisitely tuned to the chemistry of whatever it is in your gut.
217
And these are neurons called neuropod cells.
218
They respond to amino acids, sugars, and fatty acids.
219
So as your food is digested, as food lands within your gut, neurons there are sensing what types of foods are available
220
and what types of things are making their way through the gut environment.
221
And these particular neurons send electrical signals up into the brain through a little passage that we call the no-dose ganglia.
222
The no-dose ganglia is a cluster of neurons
223
that then send up their own process into the brain and trigger the release of dopamine, which is a molecule that inspires motivation,
224
reward, and more seeking for whatever it is led to their activation.
225
These are super interesting neurons
226
because what they're essentially doing is they are providing a subconscious signal about the quality of the food that you're eating,
227
what it contains, and then triggering the release of a molecule within your brain, dopamine, that leads you to go seek more of those foods.
228
So now I've mentioned two of the three mechanisms by which we prefer certain foods.
229
One is from the actual tastes that we're familiar with, the taste on our tongue and in our mouth and the sensations that make us go,
230
mm, or ugh, or the yum, yuck, meh responses, as I referred to them earlier.
231
And then there's this subconscious signaling coming from the gut that's really based on the nutrient content of the foods.
232
There's a third pathway, which is the learned association of a particular taste with the particular quality
233
or value that a food has.
234
And this is where things get really interesting
235
and where there's actually a leverage point for you to rewire what it is
236
that you find tasty and that you want to seek more of.
237
We are driven, meaning we have mechanisms in our brain
238
that make us motivated to pursue more of what brings both a taste of sweetness,
239
but also that brings actual changes in blood glucose levels up.
240
Okay, so we are motivated to eat sweet things, not just because they taste good, but because they change our blood sugar level, they increase our blood sugar level.
241
What your brain, meaning what you are seeking when you eat, is not taste, is not dopamine,
242
is not even a rise in blood glucose.
243
What you're seeking, even though you don't realize it because it's subconscious, is you are seeking things that allow your neurons to be metabolically active.
244
And this is fundamentally important for understanding why you eat particular foods and how you can change your relationship to those foods.
245
Now, earlier I referred to these circuits as wired to do something.
246
And in biology and in particular neuroscience, we talk about something being hardwired or softwired.
247
Hardwired meaning that it's there and it's immutable, it cannot be changed.
248
Softwired meaning it's very amenable to change.
249
The taste system and this general system of seeking particular foods, similarly is hardwired to obtain certain types of nutrients.
250
It tends to like sweet things.
251
Most children naturally like sweet things, some more than others.
252
So there's some hardwiring of preference, but there's also some softwiring in the system that allows it to change.
253
So the experiments that were done that beautifully illustrate that you seek out particular foods because of the way they taste,
254
because of their impact on blood glucose levels, but also on their impact on the dopamine system,
255
even if your blood glucose levels don't change.
256
So here's the experiment.
257
One group of subjects is given a sweet taste of a substance that also raises blood glucose levels, blood sugar, and dopamine goes up, not surprisingly.
258
Second condition, separate subjects, consume an artificial sweetener or a non-caloric sweetener.
259
It is not preferred much over other substances, but it is sweet, so it's preferred somewhat,
260
and it does not cause an increase in blood glucose levels.
261
And not surprisingly, dopamine levels don't go up.
262
So initially, we don't tend to like artificial sweeteners that much.
263
However, if subjects continue to ingest artificial sweeteners, even though there's no increase in blood glucose level and therefore no increase in brain metabolism,
264
dopamine levels eventually start to rise.
265
And when those dopamine levels eventually start to rise, you've essentially conditioned or reinforced that artificial or non-caloric sweetener,
266
and then subjects start to consume more of it and they actually get a dopamine increase from it.
267
So that's interesting.
268
It says that consuming more of these artificial sweeteners can start to tap into the dopamine system
269
and lead us to seek out or consume more of these artificial sweeteners.
270
Now there's another condition that's been explored and that's the really interesting condition.
271
And it's the condition where an artificial sweetener is paired with a substance that can increase blood sugar,
272
but not because it tastes sugary like a normal sweet substance.
273
The natural world scenario where this would happen would be drinking a diet soda, which contains no calories and therefore would not increase blood glucose,
274
but is sweet with a food that increases blood glucose.
275
And when that happens, what you're essentially doing is tapping into the dopamine system, this non-caloric sweet taste is paired with it,
276
and there's an increase in neuron metabolism.
277
So you have all of the components for reinforcement.
278
And as a consequence, you get in a sort of Pavlovian conditioning way,
279
a situation where later, when you ingest that artificial sweetener, you actually get not only the increase in dopamine,
280
but you get alterations in blood sugar management.
281
I'll make this in the natural world context.
282
If you ingest an artificial sweetener, say drink diet soda while consuming foods that increase blood glucose,
283
then later, even if you just drink the diet soda, it's been shown that you secrete much more insulin,
284
the hormone that regulates blood glucose, in response to that diet soda.
285
And the simple extract or tool from this is if you're going to consume artificial sweeteners,
286
it's very likely best to consume those away from any food that raises blood glucose levels.
287
So if you're going to enjoy diet soda, be my guest, but do it not while consuming food, in particular foods that raise blood glucose,
288
because what these studies show is that they can disrupt blood sugar management by way of the insulin glucose system.
289
Studies by my colleague, Aliyah Crum, in the psychology department at Stanford,
290
have explored the bodily response in terms of insulin release and the release of other food and eating related hormones,
291
as well as overall feelings of satisfaction, et cetera, in groups of people that drink a milkshake
292
and are either told that it's a low calorie shake
293
that contains various nutrients that are good for them or a higher calorie shake that has a lot of nutrients, et cetera.
294
And what they found was that the different groups, and here again, I'm being very general with my description of these studies,
295
but what they found is that the physiological response, the insulin response, the blood glucose response, and the subjective measures of whether or not people enjoyed something
296
or not were heavily influenced by what they were told were in these milkshakes.
297
So blood glucose would go up, insulin would go up when people were told it was a high calorie shake with lots of nutrients, less so when people ingested a shake that was,
298
you know, that they were told had less nutrients and so forth, when in reality it was the identical shake.
299
This is incredible.
300
This is a belief effect.
301
This is not placebo, right?
302
A placebo effect is different.
303
Placebo effect is in comparison.
304
It's where the control condition actually influences outcomes to a same or to some degree, just like the experimental condition.
305
This is a belief effect where the belief and the subjective thoughts about what a given food will do
306
has a direct impact on a physiological measure like blood sugar and blood glucose, okay?
307
So let's zoom out from this for a second
308
and think about how we can incorporate this into adopting consumption of healthy foods
309
that serve our brain health in the immediate and long-term.
310
What this means is obviously you want to consume foods that you like,
311
but because brain health is very important and many of the foods that promote brain health
312
perhaps are not the most palatable to you or desirable to you, if you want to eat more of a particular food because it's good for you,
313
pair it with that other food that provides you a shift in brain metabolism
314
because that's really what your brain and you are seeking even though you don't realize it.
315
How long will this take?
316
Well, the data really point to the fact that even within a short period of time of about seven days, but certainly within 14 days,
317
that food will take on a subjective experience of tasting at least better to you, if not good to you.
318
Now, I believe this has important implications for much of the controversy and food wars that we see out there.
319
Food wars being, of course, these groups that ardently subscribe to the idea that their diet
320
and the things that they are eating are the foods
321
that are good for us and that are the most pleasureful and the things that everyone should be eating.
322
We see this with every community within the nutrition realm.
323
What's very clear, however, is that what we consume on a regular basis and what leads to increases in brain metabolism
324
leads to increases in dopamine and thereby our motivation to eat them.
325
So what this really says is that what we tend to do regularly becomes reinforcing in and of itself.
326
And I think in large part can explain the fact that, yes, indeed, for certain people, a given diet not only feels good,
327
but they heavily subscribe to the nutrient and kind of health beneficial effects of that diet.
328
What this emphasizes is that foods impact our brain and its health,
329
but they also impact how our brain functions and responds to food.
330
And that is largely a learned response.
331
We can't completely override, for instance, that certain foods evoke a strong yuck component.
332
Certain foods are truly putrid to us, But it's also true that if we continue to eat foods that are progressively sweeter and sweeter and highly palatable,
333
it shifts our dopamine system because it activates our dopamine system to make us believe
334
that those foods are the only foods that can trigger this reward system
335
and make us feel good and that they taste good.
336
But after consuming foods that perhaps are less sweet or even less savory, that are not what we would call highly, or I would say nowadays,
337
it's super palatable foods, We can adjust our sense literally of what we perceive as an attractive and rewarding food.
338
And indeed the dopamine system will reward those foods accordingly.
339
Put simply, we don't just like sweet foods because they taste good.
340
We like them because they predict a certain kind of metabolic response.
341
If you want to learn more about food reward and food reinforcement, because it turns out those are slightly different things,
342
there's a wonderful review written by Ivan de Arrujo.
343
They have a middle author, Mark Schachter and Dana Small.
344
It's called Rethinking Food Reward and it was published in the Annual Reviews of Psychology.
345
You can find it very easily online.
346
It was published in 2019.
347
And it's a beautiful deep dive, although quite accessible to most people about how different foods
348
and the way that we perceive them impacts our brain
349
and body and why we like the things we like and how to reshape what we like.
350
So once again, we've done a fairly extensive deep dive into food and your brain.
351
Came up with a relatively short list of what I would call super foods.
352
And we also talked about food preference and why particular tastes
353
and particular events within the gut
354
and particular events within the brain combine to lead us to pursue particular foods
355
and to avoid other foods
356
and how you can leverage those pathways in order to pursue more of the foods
357
that are going to be good for you and good not just for your brain, but for your overall body health and to enjoy them all.

ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
