For anyone who wants to achieve a certain level of alertness in life and maintain stagnant cellular growth , there are few edible tips to add in his/her daily life.  Eat fresh foods for one whole week and then eat processed food the other week, and see a difference for yourself.  If you consume inertia-causing foods, your cognitive process will generally decline over time. Today's generation is heavily depending on energy and fizzy drinks to overcome declining cognition.
