As mentioned previously, processed food is usually laden with corn-starch, sugar or high levels of fructose. While sugar is essential for the functioning of the brain, it is best to consume sugar in natural forms. Consuming a high amount of sugar can throw one’s brain off balance and make it difficult for it concentrate. Processed foods also causes sugar crashes which leads to one having anxiety, heart palpitations, and fatigue, which can all make it next to impossible to focus and complete tasks. So if you want to concentrate better, avoid that breakfast granola bar.
