Funny thing is our elders and forebears knew this but it is completely lost on the most people these days.
My grandmother forbade us eating cheese until 10-12 years old. Her reason was that we will become moody and have nightmares at night. She was right ofcourse. Hard to digest foods affect our ability to sleep properly.
Is there such a thing as foodhacking?

- vmurthy 5y ago> Is there such a thing as foodhacking? There should be! I've noticed that my energy levels / moods are really good the morning after I eat a salad only dinner (I'm a vegetarian anyway but it will surprise you the kind of veg things that can still screw up your health). I wonder what other stuff have such impact..

- rekabis 5y agoThere is such a thing as food hacking, however it is massively complicated by two issues, in descending order of effects: 1. The makeup of your gut bacteria, which massively influences how your body takes up nutrients and glucose 2. Your genetic makeup, which can influence how you handle nutrients and glucose that you have taken in Essentially, what works for one person can be functionally opposite for another person.
