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!

While talking to my friend, Julie, today, she said that she had been so busy that she hadn’t eaten yet.  It was 2:30, well 1:30 her time, but still….   I reminded her that as great as PXP is, you still have to eat the less pure foods.  We laughed, but she still had to go eat.

I have done a lot of research on foods that help prevent cancer.  Some of them were what I expected, but I had a surprise when I learned that pumpkin was one of the top seven.  Squash will do in a pinch, but pumpkin is the prime.

Pumpkin is high in carotennoids and lowers the rates of gastric, breast, lung and colorectal cancers.

Those are some pretty nasty and much too common cancers. I tend to be a purist, so I want to eat pumpkin and I love pumpkin pies, but well not a good idea for lots of reasons.  But I did find a place that sells pumpkin seeds, raw with no oil or salt.  They actually make a nice snack by themselves, however I put them in my yogurt.  I have been pleased to see 3 brands of Greek yogurt in the stores recently, and boy that is the best.  I put in  some blueberries and/or raspberries (also great for cancer) and a handful of pumpkin seeds.  Its delicious and fights cancer.

But don’t forget your PXP.  When Julie’s husband had prostate cancer she put him on 8 servings of PXP a day.  He took cancer treatment also, but the doctors were amazed at how well he did.

There are TV ads out now about corn syrup, you’ve seen them, one friend offers another a drink, it gets turned down because of all the other has heard about corn syrup.  The first says, “What have you heard?  That is has the same calories and nutrition as sugar?”  its a well done ad, it just isn’t true.  Corn syrup is married to fat and while it may technically have the same calories as sugar, it is far more fattening.  It is more addictive and well, it is worse for you than sugar.

Stay away from it.  Easier said than done since it is in almost all processed foods.  Read labels.
