Day 91
I had to take a break from work yesterday and get some cooking done because we had nothing to eat, but lots of whole food in the house! I made a mushroom and wild rice soup, roasted baba ghanoush with peppers, eggplant, zucchini, onion, and tomatoes, and then chicken with pepperoncini peppers and fingerling potatoes for dinner - all sugar free meals. I had to check the pepperoncini peppers ingredient label and happily found no sugar. They were brined but just in vinegar, no sugar - yeah! Now we are set for lunch tomorrow, leftovers for dinner, and baba ghanoush for a few days.
Last night I was a guest on a presentation given by the Alzheimer’s Association and I talked about diet and nutrition. In my health coaching practice, I don’t focus necessarily on brain health, but all of the lifestyle, sporadic (not genetic) risk factors for chronic conditions and disease. Everything I cover when I work with a client has direct effects on overall health including rates of dementia and Alzheimer’s. Eating right, doing physical activity we love, sleeping well, managing stress, continuing to learn and challenge our brains, our relationships and social connection, all play a part in prevention of Alzheimer’s disease. Avoiding dementia and Alzheimer’s disease is one more reason to watch added sugars in our diet.
