Apples and Pears

Fresh fruits, including apples and pears, are complex carbohydrates that provide sustained energy for the brain. Glucose is converted from carbohydrates and is the only energy source normally used by brain cells. According to the Franklin Institute, too much sugar or refined carbohydrates at one time deprive the brain of glucose. This compromises the brain’s ability to concentrate, remember and learn.
