"You are what you eat" may be gaining credibility in the medical community, according to Dr. Ronald Morton of NeuroSensory Centers of America in Trophy Club.Physicians are starting to pay more attention to nutrition, what we do or don't put into our bodies, and how it affects nerve function, brain chemistry and cholesterol, Morton said.Local experts said, eating carbohydrates and some fat is essential to being healthy.Morton visited the Southlake Senior Center to talk about dealing with disorders common among aging adults, which can sometimes be difficult to diagnose and treat, he said."As we age, our bodies don't work the same as when we were younger," Morton said. "Nutrition can play a role in keeping our bodies functioning."When the brain gets bombarded with inaccurate information, people experience symptoms such as dizziness and imbalance, irregular vision and trouble remembering things, Morton said.
