Good brain function is dependent on good brain metabolism.  In order to have good brain metabolism, you need to feed your brain a steady supply of micronutrients (cofactors).  Since our bodies don't make minerals at all and they make very few vitamins, we  must get these micronutrients from food.  💪🏻🥦

If you want better brain health, its starts with food.  Make sure to include these top brain supporting foods in your diet like avocado, beets, blueberries, cacao, bone broth, broccoli, eggs, extra virgin olive oil, leafy greens, fatty fish like salmon or black cod, matcha green tea, turmeric, and walnuts. 🥬🍳🍓🥑🫐

One of the most nourishing remedies that I think everyone should have in their food arsenal is bone broth. 80% of our immune system resides in our gut which means we need to treat our guts well.  This is especially true during the holiday season when we tend to stray from our normal daily habits. 🙏🏻
I've shared my recipe for turkey bone broth in my link in bio. I hope you enjoy it!  I just made a batch. I drink it as a warm beverage and use it in all my recipes from soups to sautés. Happy Thanksgiving All!  🦃❤️

We are exposed to hundreds of toxins daily from heavy metals (like arsenic and mercury) to endocrine-disrupting chemicals like BpA (think water bottles and plastic food storage containers) to biotoxins (like mold) that come from various plants or animals.  👎🏻

Surprisingly, the molecules in certain edible plants use multiple mechanisms to sequester and eliminate toxins from our bodies via urine, sweat, and stool.  💪🏻These plants include:
cilantro, cruciferous veggies (cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, kale, radishes, Brussels sprouts, turnips, watercress, kohlrabi, rutabaga, arugula, horseradish, Macarenas, rapini, daikon, wasabi, boy choy), avocados, artichokes, beets, dandelions, garlic ginger, grapefruit, lemons, olive oil and seaweed. 🥦🥬🧅🧄🫑🌶

Choose as many of these foods as you can and rotate in your diet regularly. 😀

Kids are definitely resilient, but food can affect them in ways we don't always realize.  And I'm not talking about obesity.  I'm talking about symptoms like brain fog, irritability, difficulty concentrating, stomach aches, headaches, acne, skin issues, and anxiety just to name a few. 👎🏻

It's also important to understand that just because children steadily plot on their growth charts at the doctor's office does not mean they are biologically healthy and nutritionally sound.  Growth by itself does not indicate a strong immune system, a well-functioning brain, or a healthy digestive system.  🧠👤

Food is extremely powerful.  Looking at what's on the end of your child's fork will often dictate how good they feel, how well they think, how well they fight off infections, and how much energy they have throughout the day. 🍽💪🏻❤️

Pomegranates are rich in polyphenols, which are beneficial plant compounds that  have been shown to have health benefits relating to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. ❤️

Most studies regarding the effects of pomegranate juice have focused on its ability to treat prostate cancer, diabetes, and atherosclerosis. However, pomegranate juice has shown therapeutic potential for many other illnesses. For instance, a small number of human clinical trials have highlighted the positive effects of pomegranate juice and extract consumption on cardiovascular health. Beneficial effects have also been observed in animal models for respiratory diseases, RA, IBD neurodegenerative disease, and hyperlipidaemia. 👍🏻

Do you know how to peel and eat a pomegranate? 🤔
