Popeye had it right!

Did you watch the opening ceremonies of the Olympics with eyes wide open? There was so much visual candy that it was challenging to take it all in. I watched in amazement at the athletes who trained so hard for so long with varying degrees of results. I began to wonder what their training regime consisted of and what type of food plan they were required to follow to keep up their energy and build healthly cells. The most amazing thing to watch was the intense focus that it takes to stay on track and be totally present during thier meets, routines, sequences. They had to be in their best mindset and mental condition. That brings me to Popeye. My husband recently received a video on maintaining a healthly brain. The information was prolific and I'll be sharing a small portion of what was presented. To keep our brains healthly there is a list of "brain food" not including of course fish and other nutrients. Here is a list of 12 Foods Good for the Brain. Enjoy!
  1. Blueberries

  2. Spinach

  3. Broccoli

  4. Salmon

  5. Tuna

  6. Oatmeal

  7. Red Bell Peppers

  8. Walnuts

  9. Avocados

  10. Turkey

  11. Oranges

  12. Green Tea

Bon Appetite!

P.S. For those of you who didn't grow up with Popeye, the Sailorman, he ate spinach to keep up his strength.
