Brain Boosters
An article in Marjie Gilliam's column, ROAD TO FITNESS, Good diet and body weight keep brain working properly, in the STAR-ADVERTISER, Tuesday, 10/25/11, D-2, was very interesting! Here are some notes:
1) www.Lumosity.com has brain/cognition exercises and measures your improvement. Check it out.
2) "The brain has a huge demand for blood flow. Reduce body fat...keep arteries clear to prevent strokes...and maintain healthy brain function."
3) "Antioxidants...(for a) brain-healthy diet..." (found in) blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, apples, nuts, beans,...spinach and broccoli, tea, and dark chocolate (try raw cacao powder from seeds). (Ha ha! Sounds like a raw diet; vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds.)
4) "Eat healthy fats...omega-3 fatty acids, in particular, have been associated with brain-related benefits, including enhanced mood and improved cognitive capacity...(Flax Seed Oil). Saturated fats...found in red meat (and other animal products) and many processed foods, can be (try has been found to be) bad for the heart and ...brain.
5) "Drink water. The brain is 60 (more like 85%) percent water... When dehydrated, brain cells and other neurons shrink, and biochemical processes involved in cellular communication slow... impair(s) short-term memory.
Licious Dishes Received The Star-Advertiser's
Ilima Award, Critic's Choice
And, we're not even a restaurant (yet).
Thank you for 4 ½ years of support!
Licious has survived and thrived.
We look forward to keeping you and Mother Earth healthy for generations to come. Help us to do that by spreading the word about the secret (no labeling necessary) imposition of GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) in our food by big businesses like Monsanto and DuPont; of their patenting seeds and plants to control the world. Refer people to my recently archived newsletters. Check out informative meetings held by Dr. Melissa Yee's organization, Seeds of Truth. Contact your legislators and write letters of concern. GMOs constitute the biggest threat to the survival of mankind in health, wealth, and happiness. Take action now to protect us all and Mother Earth.

Mahalo, to those of you who joined Licious' last minute push to contribute to Hawaii Public Radio.
I realize that their packaging of the various Diamond Head Theatre tickets with a meal was confusing/contradicting what I had in mind, and to have contributed this on the second to the last day of the drive, cut our air time exposure down from an hour to 10 minutes. An apology is due for all those email contacts with their phone numbers..
Meal/theatre ticket packages will be offered in 2012 TO SUPPORT HPR the Licious way. Keep an eye out on this newsletter to join us.
