Summery: Warm water (not hot) Flax seeds for us vegans (or fish eggs), mix with water (but to get omega 3 you need suppliment from sea plants, flax seeds does not give enough) Fish, but olive oil, algy oil and almonds for vegans. Almonds, hazel nuts Avocado Blackberries Broccolli and alot of vegetables Red wine (just a little), drink with food, not on an empty stomach, depending on the period cycle. Women need carbs. Men need fat. (This was my favorite aha-moment!) Coffee is dehydrating. Drink sensibly, not too much. Take a nap after a big dinner, don't keep eating. Don't eat late. Overnight fasting. Avoid: Processed food Margerine Fake cheese Baked goods Whipped cream (processed) Artificial substances Candy Meat Treat your brain like your best friend!

Listen to this and being quick I am making lunch before I walk. 5mins to prepare. Broccoli and cauliflower into the steamer and a handful of broad beans in there too. I’ve eaten a few almonds before it cooks and that will keep me going till I have dinner later. My brain food quick mousse is as follows. Half small avocado a small banana handful of spinach some nut milk cacao powder a date or two. A scoop of kelp a teaspoon of ground flax seeds a teaspoon of chia seeds and a handful of berries. Whiz it up in a blender and serve. If I take any supplements I do it with this meal. It’s delicious and sorts out any chocolate cravings. Jim you have a very listenable voice and you ask such good questions. Thank you.

Wild salmon, blackberries, kale and almonds are my favourite brain foods... thank you both 🙏🏻

[@LookUpwards]

Hi there, I would recommend to opt for an organic vegan diet (preferably raw if you can) due to disease on the rise in animals, as well as radiation and mercury in the seas affecting fish like wild salmon (radiation) and tuna (mercury). Fish farmed salmon is to be avoided too due to the use of GMO feed and may not provide Omega 3 Fatty Acids which is obtain from algae by wild salmon in the seas, i believe. You can opt for organic walnuts and pecans that look like the brain and target the brain (Contains brain targeting nutrients e.g Omega 3 Fatty Acids); as well as organic cabbage, cauliflower and berries. Moreover, try and incorporate it with plenty of pure, clean water to hydrate brain cells (avoiding artficial flouridated water due to the negative impact flouride can have on the brain - i believe), as well as drink colloidal silver and gold (avoid purchasing colloidal gold from a different country as it may deplete in quality during transportation, from gathered information). Furthermore, aim to obtain fresh air as much as possible including sleeping with a window open and allowing it to circulate in your room freely as it gives clarity of mind, improves concentration and enhances learning abilities, i believe. It also gives a sense of happiness and well-being by altering brain levels of serotonin; and induces sound sleep. Best wishes 💙💙💙

Have less chia seed because it’s high inflammation stick with flaxseed but consume in powder form.
