Default Brain Boosting Diet

Hey peeps.

Been a bit under the weather of late, and blimey I'm in love with online shopping. ow picking list and thought I'd better make sure my diet is good. here's a lot of chat around here re suppliments, but do you also eat?

Have any good recipes/ingrediants? Simple ones probs for the best, eh.

I usually have makkerel for lunch so have that down, in sunflower oil, as well as trout. An abundance of green veg: broccoli, cabbage, leeks, spinach, cauliflower and even some avacados (which normally I'm not keen on).

Bit stumped on the seed front, not a fan really so dont know what to do with them! Do have some ground almonds and spinach for a trout curry.

Dark chocolate, prefer milk but sure I'll cope. No sure if I can afford vanilla...why does nowhere sell mesoamerican style hot chocolate?

Fruit and berries. Porrige.

I eat lots of salmon and arugula. My symptoms worsen when I slack on my healthy eating habits, so I try to keep my house stocked with good stuff.

I like to snack on raw walnuts and almond butter lately. I also find myself craving eggs often, so I eat a lot of those (I never used to before I hit my head). Blueberries, too. I like gluten-free, sugar-free granola with blueberries, a banana, and a drizzle of raw honey for breakfast.

Oh, I forgot that you mentioned seeds. I like to make a thick pudding out of chia seeds and coconut milk. I add flax seeds to homemade breads.

Be sure you sugar free granola does not contain artificial sweeteners.

It doesn't, but I'm glad you mentioned that. I accidentally ingested some aspartame at the local frozen yogurt shop a while back because I thought "sugar free" meant zero sugar. It made me really sick, so keep an eye out for that if any of you guys are trying to limit your intake of artificial sweeteners.

Also, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to share personal links in this group, but I save a lot of healthy recipes on my Pinterest board. Here is the link:
