What's for Dinner? Try the fish...

Dr. Antonio Convit, the medical director for the Center for Brain Health at the New York University School of Medicine, tells us that when it comes to memory, you are what you eat.

This post comes to us by way of Dr. Ellen Weber, Brain-Based Business Blog.

People speak often of feeding their brain and you hear people naming foods like fish as brain food. Dr. Convit illustrates how a healthy diet may help to cultivate and sustain your memory.

So if you’re looking for brain food … what should land on your plate…. Not surprisingly…  most foods we eat to strengthen our bodies are also good for the brain and for your well-being  too. Dr. Convit, described himself as a “modified vegetarian” who practices what he preaches….

His best advice is to stick to leafy greens, fish, and other foods that carry a low glycemic index.

Cooking Accomplished! has been a great find for myself and several of my friends. The concept is simple; you go online, pick the entrees you want and the date you want to assemble them. The difference between Cooking Accomplished! and several other businesses like this in Portland, is quality! The owner is a trained chef. They have a commercial kitchen where all the ingredients are prepped by Shelley and her staff. Many of my friends, prior to joining me for meal assembly sessions at Cooking Accomplished!, admitted to serving and eating frozen or pre-cooked meals several times a week and to dining out two or three times a week. We decided since we are worried about nutritional value and using quality local ingredients we would research meal assembly as a solution to reducing time spent shopping and preparing dinners with the goal of eating healthier. The only assemble-your-own meal company that we found in Portland, that had great selections, high quality local ingredients and prepped all their food in-house is CookingAccomplished! in Lake Oswego. Since I started preparing meals at CookingAccomplished! I've also signed up for a couple of great cooking classes. My son attended a kids class as well and he can't wait until the next one. Shelley has done a fantastic job of creating a quality experience!
