IT’s easy to remember, if it comes in a box, bag or bottle it’s not a real whole, nutritious food!

Avocados provide nearly 20 essential nutrients, including fiber, potassium, Vitamin E, B-vitamins and folic acid. They also act as a “nutrient booster” by enabling the body to absorb more fat-soluble nutrients, such as alpha and beta-carotene and lutein, in foods that are eaten with the fruit.

Trans fatty acids found in margarine, processed baked goods, fried foods and saturated fats found in meat and full fat dairy products have been shown to make brain cells hard and rigid.  These fats also interfere with your brain’s ability to process information quickly.

There are many ways to get the synapses connecting: Eat healthy & feed your mitchondria Social interaction keeps one witty Estrogen replacement elevates gray matter Exercise increase blood flow to brain Getting efficient sleep, 6 – 8 hours De-stress with meditation & soothing music Take enough Vitamin D, for older adults it’s recommend between 600 – 800 mg. Drink antioxidant-rich Tea, green is best.
