Spinach & Garbanzo Bean Salad
We all Love our Carbs don't we? but what if they were slowing down our Brains? Would we all eat a little better at least?
Good questions and I have some answers for you from a article written by Tait Russell from The Good Health Magazine June 2014 issue.

Fats, not carbohydrates are what's best fore our brains. Not only that but you can loose weight by eating fats, and you get fatter by eating carbs? What!?
Dr. David Permutter a noted neurologist at the Health Center in Naples Fla.  study shows that the hearty grains, sugars, high -carb root vegetables can cause dementia, anxiety, chronic headaches, depression and much more.


This goes back to our Cave -Man days of living off the land and what we harvest ourselves oppose to what we can forage ourselves from the land. Instead we all go to our local  local grocery store shelves and create a feeding frenzy of foods that are not good for us.

About 10,000 years ago our culture turned towards agriculture and our bodies turned to carbohydrates as a major part of the human diet and consumption.
This study says that our body and our brain can get everything it needs from protein, fats, and the right kinds of good carbs, meaning from dark leafy veggies, which gives us antioxidants, fiber, vitamins and minerals.

Since we tend to live in the mind set of hunt-gather theory is that we get fatter when times are plenty and skinnier at times of famine or a bad growing or hunting seasons.It is believed this gene is responsible for obesity and closely tied to diabetes.

This study takes it even further with a test subject of 70 year olds done by Mayo Clinic and written about in the October 2012 Journal of Alzheimer Disease, states that a diet high in carbohydrates in this age group showed a higher risk of cognitive impairment.

So what it all comes down to is this folks next time you go to load your plates up with all that bread and little to No veggies or lean proteins , think about this for one moment and say do I really want my Brain to feel Old Today? Maybe then you can gradually make better choices to feed your Brains and Your Bodies.!Divadish wants all of Us to stay Young & Healthy as we all ease into our Older bodies and we can do it right by
 Eating right as our Lifestyle!!!
