Oatmeal and the Brain

Keeping the brain healthy is extremely important.  We are living longer, and forms of dementia are on the ascendancy, whether for reasons of longevity, poor nutrition or environmental reasons.  No one wants to live a long life in a nursing home.

Thus I will be gathering everything I can find about brain health.  There will be scientific and testimonial reports about PXP and ASEA, plus other behavioral helps for your brain, to keep it young and healthy.

Today I read this on the AARP website:”Top rolled oats with cinnamon for a brainy breakfast. The oats scrub plaques from your brain arteries, while a chemical in cinnamon is good for keeping your blood sugar in check—which can improve neurotransmission.”

I have always loved oatmeal.  As a child my parents put milk and sugar on it.  Yum, but the sugar isn’t great.I tried cooking it in apple juice, not bad, but still very sugary and well, not as good. And I must confess that as much as I love oatmeal, I refused to even try haggis while in Scotland.  Don’t ask.

A few years back I came up with this recipe, my own creation.  It is delicious and uber nutritious. Oh, and keep an open mind, try it at least once.

Margo’s Oatmeal Omelette

Boil 2 cups of water adding a tablespoon of virgin olive oil (optional, but healthy and yum!)

When it is boiling add one cup of oatmeal and one omega egg.  (or two egg whites or one white and one whole egg)

Let cook until water is gone (if you have a good stick free pan and water a crust let it cook a little longer)

Set off of heat, covered for one minute.

Put in bowl add flax oil (or olive oil both optional, but if you didn’t use the coconut oil use one here)

Add medium Picante sauce to taste

Sprinkle liberally with cinnamon.

Mix and Enjoy!
