Brain health is the second most important component in maintaining a healthy lifestyle according to a 2014 AARP study. As people age they can experience a range of cognitive issues from decreased critical thinking to dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers write about eight nutrients that may help keep your brain in good shape.

I’ve been using the green can for probably over a year now, and am wondering why I’ve been ordering it over the orange can. For the price difference, I’m considering ordering the orange can since it’s a lot cheaper.

Do you know what the difference is between the two?

The same question was asked on Amazon. The short answer is the green will dissolve in cold water; the red and orange will not.

Pregnant women are nauseated by foods that their bodies perceive as toxic.

When I was pregnant with my first, I nearly gaged on a grilled steak. I couldn't eat it, and I love a grilled steak. When our son was a year old, we went to our favorite burger joint and when I took one bite of my grilled burger, I nearly gagged. I couldn't eat it. I had the exact same reaction as before. We stopped at the drugstore on the way home for a pregnancy test. Sure enough!

Thanks - that’s extremely helpful for us non-scientists!

Sure thing. I will translate this technical document for you.

Let’s start of with the more difficult nutrients first.

4) “Walnut” - A very difficult technical term. In common English the term ‘walnut’ translates into ‘walnut’.

8) “Blueberries” - Another tricky technical term. In common English, the term ‘blueberries’ translates into ‘blueberries’

I hope I have helped you.

There are not many of use technical types familiar with these two exotic nutrients.

Grin.

The magic ingredient is exercise.

Or....buy some unsweetened bakers chocolate.

That's what I buy - and just keep a little bowl handy for snacking.

Sometimes put cayenne pepper in my hot chocolate - ala Mayans. But don't do hot chocolate often - when I do, I use organic whole milk and xylitol or stevia for sweetener - and a dash of salt, a splash of pure vanilla (I make) and blob of organic butter (I make my butter from organic whole milk - in my NINJA blender - easiest ever.)

I am happy there are FRiends interested in good health.
I appreciate the good comments and have no problem with snarky comments. No, I am not selling anything. I am happily retired.
Congrats to poster Gffrig...you got it FRiend!

First, let me list some side “ingredients” which I do use as “supplements”..

Multi-vits one every other day
80 mg aspirin every other day
sprinkle cinnamon powder in my coffee or tea every time
half orange every day (not processed juice, fresh fruit only)
any other one fruit in season, one every day
1/3 cup of yogurt every day
2 whole wheat toast every day
2 dried plums every day.

All above ingredients are not expensive.
Y’all probably use these anyways.

Before I tell you about my magic ingredient we should talk about how our bodies are made. We are evolved from our human ancestors going back over million years. Every organ and every part of our body carries genes of our ancestors. Therefore our bodies work best when we emulate how they lived and survived. Did out ancestors eat anything processed? No! Were they farmers? Not for almost a million years. Farming is only 15000 years old, just a small fraction of a million years. Did our ancestors have access to anything made in factories? Nope. But before farming, our ancestors lived by hunting whatever animals/birds they could capture or kill. And they supplemented that diet with fruits and berries. Our genes do not change in a few hundred years or even a few thousand years. So, if you want to stay healthy, emulate our ancestor’s lifestyle. The critical requirement in their struggle to live was ability to hunt wild game. That was main source of protein. There were no crops of soyabeans, or any kind of beans. If they got lucky they might have found eggs. So what was the single most necessity to have the ability to hunt wild game? Stamina! How did they acquire stamina? By walking many miles every day. Without that exercise our bodies have a tendency to deteriorate. So my magic ingredient is walking every day. I am fortunate to have a treadmill at home. Weather is not an issue. I do only 20 minutes on a slight up-incline adjustment. So long as I force myself to that chore, I seem to be able to indulge in all my favorite foods. I love bacon. I like juicy hamburgers. And pecan pie. And cheese cake with chocolate. I will admit, I keep portions reasonable. The point is, I indulge in all tasty foods. So my magic ingredient is 20 minutes of walking at reasonably brisk pace. All it requires is a pair of good gym shoes.

Best luck and health to all!

I do get my Nutella treat from time to time.

You might want to switch to almond butter or hazelnut butter (Gelsons, Whole Foods or Trader Joe's). Nutella is loaded with sugar. :(
