Brain food in its simplest form 🧠✨

As a registered dietitian, I’m always reminding clients that what you snack on matters—especially for long-term brain health. As a dietitian with multiple sclerosis, I try to practice this as much as possible

• **Walnuts** are rich in ALA omega-3 fatty acids → linked to improved cognitive function and reduced inflammation (important for everyone, but especial with multiple sclerosis)

Regularly including nuts like these may support:
✔ Memory and focus
✔ Reduced risk of cognitive decline
✔ Stable energy (no sugar crashes)

💡 Dietitian tip: Aim for a small handful (about ¼ cup) as a snack or sprinkle on salads, yogurt, or oatmeal.

Simple. Nourishing. Brain-supportive.

(You can add more flavor with garlic or pepper))

❤️It’s heart health month!❤️
✨One of the most powerful (and underrated) ways to support your heart health is through fiber rich foods, eating plant forward 🌱
🌟Heart healthy foods to eat more often:: #1 fruits and vegetables (eat the rainbow 🌈). Also important, whole grains, beans and lentils, nuts and seeds🌟

To my surprise, my garden sprouted some broccolini 😍😍😍
Izzy was very proud, and loved it! We roasted them with some olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.
I’ll be planting more next year in Izzy’s Xmas tree garden

In humans, the energetic cost of pregnancy is about 50,000 dietary calories — far higher than previously believed, a new study found.

🌟Since my MS diagnosis, nutrition + brain health has been something I’ve been studying more. Mostly, what can help?
☝️Walnuts! A great source of omega 3s and healthy unsaturated fats. Plus: antioxidants, fiber and magnesium (helpers in regulating inflammation).
🌟Additionally, walnuts have been studied as a helper to reduce risk of developing, or delay the onset of dementia.
💫The recommended serving is 1-1.5 iz (12-18 walnut halves) per day.
