◦    Lutein is a carotenoid with anti-inflammatory properties that can be beneficial for cognitive health across the lifespan. Avocados are a bioavailable source of lutein.
    ◦    This randomized, controlled study aims to test the effects of the intake of avocado on cognition in older adults.
    ◦    They found that “the daily consumption of avocados resulted in increases in serum lutein that were significantly related to increases in HDL, the major transporter of lutein in the circulation”.
    ◦    They concluded that eating avocados everyday was particularly effective in increasing MPD (macular pigment density) levels which are related to better cognitive performance.

Eat breakfast to stay alive 😳 Ok Ok.. maybe that’s a bit much BUT “Regular daily intake of breakfast appears to be associated with lower overall and car- diovascular mortality, particularly when consuming fiber >25 g/day. Further studies examining specific breakfast foods and the timing of foods would be helpful”

Small study yet interesting

Working night shifts can cause you to eat MORE fats, sweets and cereal and eat LESS fiber-rich foods and fruits + can cause you to drink even less water!

Nourish your brain with not only food but keeping it stimulated and active 🧠 This study showed the risk of dementia in old age was found to be lower in people with cognitively stimulating jobs than in those with non-stimulating jobs.

Have some exercise snacks 😋 to improve your fasting glucose (measures your morning level of glucose after fasting for at least 8 hours). I generally recommend a fasting glucose of 85 mg/dL or below.

Flavonoids are a diverse group of phytonutrients (plant chemicals) found in almost all fruits and vegetables.

Another reason why I recommend a bigger breakfast ⏰☀️🥑🥬🍳

“This randomized controlled trial study suggests that chocolate, in the morning or in the evening/night, in a narrow window of time (1 h), results in differential effects on hunger and appetite, substrate oxidation, fasting glucose, microbiota composition and function, and sleep and temperature rhythms. The intake of a rather high amount of chocolate (100 g) concentrated in a narrow (1 h) timing window in the morning could help to burn body fat and to decrease glucose levels in post menopausal women”.

This was our fast food dinner tonight from — Watch previous post for the live ordering 😆

Jack’s (but he wanted the #6 🤣):
mushroom (fiber) and swiss (fat) burger (protein) with no bread and extra lettuce and green chile (fiber) 🍔

Why no bread? Because it’s a refined carb and if we are going to pick a fun plus one— we choose fries 🍟😉

Mine: Chicken strips (protein) with some feta, olive oil (fat) mixed greens, tomatoes (fiber) 🥗

Fast food ordering tips:
✔️ Always protein + healthy fat + fiber
✔️ Pick a fun plus one if you want it—
soda 🥤bread 🍞 or fries 🍟
✔️ Plate your meal 🍽
✔️ Enjoy your food
