Making wraps in kitchen

What makes food ‘healthy’ in your mind? 

We all have pre-determined notions of what ‘healthy’ means to us, but if you take a second to examine why you hold these beliefs, I know you’ll learn something. 

So let’s give it a try—really.  

Is a certain food healthy because it’s low in calories? Because it’s a vegetable? 

Sorry, this was kind of a trick question…

Because when it comes to ‘healthy’ food, balance is key. Our bodies require a variety of nutrients, and no single item can provide everything. This opens up a world of possibilities to explore the diverse offerings of nature while nourishing our bodies. 

Today, I want to give you a (delicious) recipe that I’ve developed to help nurture your brain

That’s right, today’s healthy recipe is designed with ingredients research shows support brain health. In other words we’re feeding it the vitamins and nutrients it craves. I’ll even give you a quick breakdown of how each ingredient supports healthy brain function at the end. 

I call this one my Brain-Boosting Summer Wraps…

It’s delicious and light (perfect for summer), easy to make, and full of the ingredients you need to help you stay mentally sharp.

Summer Wrap Recipe Card

These brain-boosting summer wraps are packed with nutrients, combining the cognitive benefits of Bacopa monnieri and choline with a rich mix of vitamins, minerals, Omega-3 fatty acids, complex carbohydrates, and protein.

Two standout brain nutrients in this recipe are:

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Walnuts, Salmon, and avocado in this recipe provide essential omega-3s. The brain is the fattiest organ in the body (composed of about 60% fat!) which is why it’s essential to supply your brain with this nutrient.

Choline: Eggs are one of the best sources of choline. A nutrient crucial to producing acetylcholine, which supports memory, learning, concentration, and motor skills.That’s why adding choline into your daily diet can help improve memory and attention in healthy adults

There’s another powerful brain ingredient I want to bring to your attention. 

Bacopa Monnieri is lesser known outside of the health and wellness space, but it’s effect on cognitive function is definitely worth noting. 

Now it’s not always easy to find in the average grocery store. So don’t worry if you have to leave it out of these wraps. I assure you they’ll still taste just as delicious. 

Unfortunately, you’re unlikely to find Bacopa Monnieri in many recipes, and even if you do, you’re unlikely to get sufficient quantity needed to provide the cognitive benefits like memory, focus, and learning.* 

I urge you to get it in a supplement form.

This is where Dynamic Brain from Stonehenge Health can help.
