Super Foods that help with your Memory Loss!

Short term memory loss is a fact of life as we get older. Is there anything that can be done to help? There are some foods that have been proven to boost brainpower.


Organic Rosemary

Rosemary contains a wealth of antioxidant phytonutrients, including flavonoids and the phenolic compounds carnosol, rosmanol, and rosmarinic acid which are great for short memory loss.Rosemary extract has shown the capacity to scavenge the peroxynitrite radical, one of the molecules responsible for causing cell death and aging. Consumption of its volatile oils, those that give it its memorable fragrance, help to enhance recall and increase alertness.

To retain nutrients, it is best to wash fresh rosemary under cold running water and pat dry with a paper towel. Do not soak it. Add fresh rosemary to omelets and frittatas. Rosemary is also a wonderful herb for seasoning chicken or lamb dishes. You can also add rosemary to tomato sauces and soups.


Organic Oranges

Eat 2 oranges a day. Eat the orange on its own or cut in to small pieces and add to you salad!

Other great sources of folate are: Romaine lettuce, spinach, asparagus, calf's liver, collard greens, broccoli.


Black Beans

This fiber rich food is an excellent source of vitamin B1, a nutrient that helps synthesize the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is crucial for memory. Low levels of acetylcholine have been linked to age-related mental decline and Alzheimer's disease. Eat 1/2 cup a day!

Other great sources of B1: Romaine lettuce, asparagus, crimini mushrooms, spinach, sunflower seeds, tuna, green peas.


Sage

Two trials have showed that taking an essential oil extract of sage - which inhibits the breakdown of acetylcholine - significantly improved recall in adults for up to 4 hours after consuming. Consume 1 tablespoon fresh or 1 teaspoon of dried sage, or 1 teaspoon sage infused olive oil. Add it soups or use sage infused oil in meat marinade.

Eating super food like the healthy food described above won't magically bring back your short term memory loss but over time you will notice a significant difference. Remember that organic products make a huge difference in the effectiveness of these healthy foods, so please consume organic products when ever possible.

Green Drink Weight Loss -- Cut Out These Carbs and Lose 5 Pounds of Bloat In One Week

Green Drink Weight Loss -- Cut Out These Carbs and Lose 5 Pounds of Bloat In One Week

If you eat a diet too high in bad, processed carbs and sodium, you hold excess water throughout your body that causes you to bloat. If you cut out the bad carbs and sodium, the bloat goes away and you lose weight. Sounds like a simple enough solution, right? Cutting out the bad carbs IS simple if the bad carbs are replaced with good, unprocessed carbs like raw veggies, green drink powder, whole grains and high fiber fresh fruit. Because...

You do need carbs for your body and brain to function so you really do need to have good carbs, like green drinks and other veggies, at every meal. If you don't eat carbs at every meal, your body can't function and it goes into starvation mode and stores fat.

Not all carbohydrates are created equal.

Your carbohydrate choices affect your energy, mood, and metabolic processes. Your body processes carbohydrates that are rich in fiber (i.e. unprocessed carbohydrates like raw vegetables and green drinks) differently than those that are left with little or no fiber as a result of processing and refining (i.e. processed carbohydrates like white bread and candy).


So, here's how to lose the 5 pounds of bloat in one week:

#1. Cut salt and bad carbs from your diet completely. Here's what's bad when it comes to carbs:

• Anything processed. This means anything that didn't go straight from the ground to your plate.
• Anything made with white sugar (because white sugar = processed). Check the labels; white sugar is in many things. Even that sourdough bread you had your lunch sandwich on or those buttermilk pancakes. Here are some items that are usually made with white sugar: candy, ice cream, cookies, sandwich bread, English muffins, ketchup, jelly or jam, peanut butter, salad dressing, BBQ sauce.

 

  • Anything made with white flour (because white flour = processed). Again check labels because white flour is in many things like your sandwich bread, breakfast blueberry muffins, breakfast cereals, dinner rolls, pop tarts, waffles, pasta.
• Dried fruit or sweetened fruit
• Potatoes that are white on the inside.


#2. Replace the bad carbs with good carbs in your diet. Here's what's good (in order of best carb sources):

• Green energy drinks and powder.
• Raw vegetables
• Grilled, steamed, lightly sauteed, non-starchy vegetables
• Legumes (lentils, peas, beans)
• Sweet potatoes or yams
• Summer squash or pumpkin
• Cooked whole grains (kamut, old fashioned oatmeal, brown rice, wild rice, barley, quinoa)
• Fresh or frozen high fiber fruit
• Sprouted or whole grain bread
• Whole grain pasta

Together with your good carbs, you need protein and fat to metabolize the glucose from the carbs and provide your body with energy to function. And you also need the right ratio of carbs, protein, and fat.

So, if you want to "lose the bloat," have your clothes feel loser and start to feel better about yourself, start now and no cheating on those good carbs (veggies and green drink powder!). This is serious if you really want to lose those 5 pounds.
