We are only as strong as our minds. As we learn more about food and its effects, the phrase, “you are what you eat,” becomes more true. We have five perfect foods to protect your healthy brain. Implement them into your diet for a clearer mind and a stronger memory.</span></b></div> <b id="docs-internal-guid-4197172d-b797-2577-fd64-1e22f8845254" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /> </b><br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <b id="docs-internal-guid-4197172d-b797-2577-fd64-1e22f8845254" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Blueberries</span></b></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <b id="docs-internal-guid-4197172d-b797-2577-fd64-1e22f8845254" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Blueberries are a great snack for a healthy brain. Blueberries contain strong antioxidants that are important for brain cell rejuvenation. Blueberries also contain bioflavonoids and phytonutrients. Bioflavonoids and phytonutrients increase memory function in the short-term and long-term. </span></b></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <b id="docs-internal-guid-4197172d-b797-2577-fd64-1e22f8845254" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is easy to implement blueberries into your diet. You can eat them plain, or you can add them to your peanut butter toast, morning oatmeal, and smoothies.</span></b></div> <b id="docs-internal-guid-4197172d-b797-2577-fd64-1e22f8845254" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Seafood</span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Specifically, fatty fish such as salmon, albacore tuna, and sardines are great foods to implement for a healthy brain. These fatty fish are packed with omega-3 fatty acids which are necessary for transmitting signals between brains cells. Good communication between the cells is important for memory retrieval, mental health, and the prevention of dementia.Try eating fatty fish for two dinners each week or pre-make salmon to add to your lunch salads!</span></div> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Vegetables</span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables are important aspects of a diet for a healthy brain. Cauliflower, cabbage, kale, brussel sprouts, broccoli, and spinach should be implemented into your daily diet to reap all the nutritional benefits. These vegetables contain antioxidants, vitamin C, and carotenoids. Carotenoids are great brain protectors. Making vegetables as a side dish to every meal is an easy way to get more of these nutrients into your diet. </span></div> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Sweet Treats</span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Yes! You can enjoy some tasty treats to improve your brain. We do not mean chocolate chip cookies, but there are some delicious options! Dark chocolate, apples, grapes, and red wine all share a common nutrient. That nutrient is a flavonoid. Flavonoids are linked to the improvement of brain function. That’s enough reason to enjoy an after dinner sweet treat or a glass of wine at the end of a long day. </span></div> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Coffee</span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When drinking coffee, it is all about moderation. Too much caffeine can cause brain fog and restlessness, but 1 to 3 cups (a cup being 8 ounces) of coffee each day has been shown to increase attention span and reaction time. Stay within 300-400 mg of caffeine each day and you will notice an instantly more alert healthy brain. </span></div> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Overall, a healthy brain produces a strong mind and a strong will.

It’s been coined with the term “</span><a href="https://www.upgradedself.com/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">bulletproof coffee</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">” by Dave Asprey in conjunction with his brand of specially produced coffee and brain cognitive oil that are included in the ingredients. </span></span></span></div> <span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">Many people make a similar drink without using ingredients that are the specific bulletproof brand and report similar results.</span><br /> <b style="background-color: white; font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <h4> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #999999;">How does it work?</span></span></h4> </div> <span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is slightly more complicated than just putting butter in your coffee. To make the coffee drink, combine 1 cup of strong coffee, 1-2 Tablespoons of butter and 1-2 Tablespoons of MCT (medium-chain triglycerides) oil and blend until creamy and frothy, sort of like a latte! </span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">It appears that using unsalted grass-fed butter in your coffee is essential because it has the correct fats that actually work together to reduce body fat and is a good source of vitamin K to reduce the risk of heart disease.</span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is also recommended to use high quality coffee. Some people choose to use coconut oil in place of MCT oil, but there are reports that say it is less effective.</span><br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <br /></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <h4> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #999999;">What are the benefits?</span></span></h4> </div> <span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">Drinking this coffee beverage in the morning is supposed to teach your body to burn fat all day by producing ketones that help your body create energy from fat rather than carbohydrates. It is also said to give you a boost in energy and clarity of mind for up to six hours with minimal crashing symptoms that are typical of caffeine intake. Putting butter in your coffee is also reported to keep your hunger at bay, which is why it can replace a breakfast and has been reported to help people lose weight. The delicious flavor of the creamy coffee beverage is also a benefit!</span><br /> <b style="background-color: white; font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <h4> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #999999;">What are the risks?</span></span></h4> </div> <span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the risks that have been identified is that the coffee drink replaces a full meal, so you receive less essential nutrients into your daily diet. Putting butter in your coffee also raises the concern about taking in an excessive amount of saturated fat that has the potential to lead to an increase in cholesterol levels.</span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you are having any health issues related to saturated fat, I would strongly suggest not trying the method of putting butter in your coffee. If you are healthy and saturated fat is not a concern of yours, I would still encourage you to do plenty of your own research before deciding if you are going to try it. </span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">The important thing is to stay healthy. Our bodies are good at reacting negatively if something isn’t working - so pay attention to how you feel!</span><br /> <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></span> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #999999;">Although it sounds a bit off from the usual cream and sugar, putting butter in your coffee is said to have helped with weight loss and improved morning energy without the side effects of caffeine overloads in the morning. Have you tried putting butter in your coffee? What were your results? </span></span></div> <div> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>

Before you reach for your beloved Pumpkin spice latte you might want to read this

Well as many of you know today is the day that Starbucks releases their pumpkin spiced latte. I have to admit that I am a pumpkin FREAK. I am just in love with all pumpkin recipes and yes... love my PSL. I recently read a post that <a href="http://foodbabe.com/2014/08/25/starbucks-pumpkin-spice-latte/">Food babe</a> did on the pumpkin spiced latte and was is disbelief in what is placed into my beloved cup of JOE. The 47 grams of sugar was enough for me to fall over... no pun intended.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> The Pumpkin Spice Latte is a quintessential flavor of Fall. But if you, like me, don't want the extra calories or sugar filled syrups added to your coffees you will love this alternative.

Hot, spicy drinks. Pumpkin, squashes, and other roasted Fall veggies. Cinnamon and nutmeg and ginger! Wonderful.
