What are the best oils to cook with? #BrainBites 👩🍳 🧠 ♥️Did you know that cooking oils such as Vegetable Oil and Sunflower Oil are very unhealthy for our bodies and brain? Due to how they are extracted they cause inflammation which is a cause of Alzheimer's. Look for healthy substitutes like Extra Virgin Olive Oil which has a high enough smoke point for cooking and baking.Cooking extra virgin olive oil at low heat ensures it doesn’t break down the polyphenols in the oil which are super anti-inflammatory and does things like open up our blood vessels.👩🍳 🧠 #BrainBites is a new recurring segment on the #MindWhatMatters podcast featuring Dr. Annie Fenn that is all about eating for a healthy brain.Dr. Fenn traded in her stethoscope for an apron to start the @brainhealthkitchen and is an expert on how we should eat to prevent Alzheimer’s and keep a healthy mind.

Did you know the risk of Alzheimer’s increases by 75-98% by holding onto negative thoughts?Dr. Caroline Leaf is a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist with a new book out today called Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess to teach people that managing toxic thoughts can save their life.Dr. Leaf explains that the proteins the make up our brain and memories are damaged by inflammation due to our bodies fighting the harm being caused by negative thoughts which leads to an increased vulnerability to dementia and Alzheimer’s of up to 98%. If you’re not mind managing, everything you do is reactive. Messy mind, messy body, messy life. The good news is this damage is reversible if caught soon enough by cultivating positive thinking.
