How about influence for adults? If you didn’t get it as an infant, is there any point in it?
Wodehouse used to imply Jeeves ate a lot of fish (in one story, the opposite, otherwise so).
ReplyI just found this post and I am glad I did. I watched a Tedtalk some time ago where Heribert Watzke talked about the brain in our gut (the second brain) and how much cooking has helped us in terms of evolution. Which brought me to the question of whether we can influence ourselves through new techniques in preparing food.
We discovered how to make fire years ago so what will be next? How does diet influence us in the long-run? Seeing that japanese might have higher IQ due to their diet is really fascinating and I’d say it’s true. The things we eat over long periods of time definitely have an impact on our cognitive abilities and I wouldn’t be surprised if we can enhance ourselves tremendously with the right diet or even inventing new ways to prepare food.
Great article and combined with what I saw really thought provoking as well.
ReplyThanks, Titus. I can’t see why omega-3 fats and possibly other things couldn’t raise IQ. The Japanese IQ advantage is about 5 points over the West, so it certainly seems within the realm of possibility.
