Memory Boosting Foods!! PLUS Dinner 4/15/13 Flounder!!

Everything that happens with your body, in one form or another, is affected by what you put in your mouth.


One 25 year Howard Medical School study of more than 13,000 women showed that the participants who ate relatively high amounts of vegetables, nuts and fish over the years had less decline in memory. So I decided to boost my open brain for the day and do a little research....

Foods that boost the memory:

Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower are excellent examines of veggies that will help to boost your memory. They are high in acid which several studies have show to prevent and even reverse memory loss.
The omega-3 fatty acids found in fish are great for the brain. Sea fish like mackerel, herring, eel and tuna are also full of phosphatidylserine. These oils contain nutrients that are not made in the body, so it’s important to eat plenty.

So here's my memory boosting meal!!

2 fillets of flounder

 Flounder is an extremely delicate fish and will absorb whatever flavors you give it. Flounder is great with the simplest of flavors. A simple salt and pepper blend will suffice. 

Dredge the seasoned flounder in flour and place i an already hot oiled pan. Fry on both sides 5 minutes. 

The flounder is done when it easily breaks apart and has a golden orange color. 

 Steamed Broccoli and Cauliflower

  This simple tool is very effective. Its called a steamer and fits in almost any sized pot. Fill the pot 1/4th with water. Once the water begins to boil place in your veggies then the lid. Dont over cook your veggies, this will defeat the purpose. You dont want to cook the nutrition out of them. When the veggies easily break apart with a fork they're finished. 

Plain white rice 

Rice, when cooked, will double in size. So whatever amount of dry rice u measure, double the water. Place the long grain white rice in the pot with water and let it reach a boil with a pinch of salt and butter added. Let the rice boil, then lower the temperature to a simmer...almost off. Let the rice cook at least 45 minutes.     DO NOT STIR OR LIFT THE LID. 

This will make your rice pasty. 

Your meal is complete. You have enough omega 3's and folic acid to keep your brain good for the rest of the night

Dinner is served!!!
