one you're probably going to want to get  healthier foods in you so stay tuned to  

the end to hear more about the easiest way  to do just that! I'm sure you've heard the  

saying you are what you eat. No, it doesn't mean  you'll morph into a Cheesy Gordita Munch after  

a late-night Blocko Bell run. It means that if  you eat healthy foods you'll be more healthy,  

but there's even more to it than that! You're  not just what you eat, but what you ate as a kid!

Triangle Bob do not play near that food 2 human  mixer I carelessly left in the living room. Oh,  

no triangle Bob's a pizza! No No Greeg!  Back away from the Bob! Circlia, honey,  

can you queue the intro for me?

Hey there welcome to life Noggin you can  get turned into a life noggin character.  

Seriously. Find The Gleam contest  Link in the description to enter.

During your childhood and Adolescence your  body does a lot of growing both physically  

and mentally and the foods you eat during  this time can have a lasting impact on your  

health throughout the rest of your life. I know,  I never thought eating 500 chicken nuggets a day  

would fail me. I for one am flabbergasted. As  it develops your body needs certain nutrients,  

for instance, your bones need protein  and calcium to grow your immune system  

needs proteins and vitamins B12 C, and  D in order to work properly and your  

brain needs choline folic acid zinc  iron, and special fats to function.

Go ahead and ask your parents if you got  all that! Studies have found that children  

who don't get enough nutrition are shorter are  more likely to get sick and have a harder time  

regulating emotions, following directions, and  staying organized, and those who eat more than  

they need to experience obesity, which can cause  chronic inflammation and increases the risk of  

asthma. So yes, parents, the Clean Plate Club is  not a good thing. I don't know if you're listening  

in the other room, parents! That's for you!  But these negative effects on your health don't  

go away as you get older no the human body keeps  score children with poor nutrition are more likely  

to develop osteoporosis later in life obesity  during adolescence can lead to diseases like  

type 2 diabetes and heart disease in adulthood  and even if nutrition is provided later on in  

life childhood is such a crucial period of brain  development that any deficits in brain function at  

this time could last a lifetime a study on mice  also found that eating too much fat and sugar  

permanently reduce the number and diversity of  microbes living in their gut while that may sound  

like a good thing you actually need these gut  microbes to help you digest foods and to control  

your immune system and brain health I know what  you're thinking now that the damage is done just  

bring on the Bobinoes Pizza well you might want to  go easy on the cheesy my friend. What you eat now  

still has an impact on your health! So, while you  may not be able to fully reverse the effects of  

poor childhood nutrition, eating healthy now  can reduce the risk or severity of disease!  

Okay Triangle Bob, try this antidote. It's an  apple with a bunch of vitamins taped to it.

Hey! You're back to normal but still covered in  grease. All right, Greeg, uh, get the hose! So,  

be honest, how healthy do you think you eat?  Do you have a favorite food that you just can't  

quit? Leave your answers in the comment  section below and I'll respond to some.

I know that one comment I get on any healthy  eating video I do is that's easier said than  

done I get it so I went and found a new  daily micro habit that I think could help  

a lot of people get the vitamins nutrients and  probiotics they need in a convenient way and  

that's with our sponsor AG1 by Athletic Greens  they actually sent me a digital version of ag1  

that I've been drinking for a couple of months  now you'll get the real life version don't worry
