Asparagus & Salmon Starter Recipe:
is easy, healthy and rich in good protein and healthy oils; omega 3 oils from the salmon and oils and omega 9 oils from the avocados. Avocados are high in mono-saturated oils such as oleic acid which can aid in the reduction of cholesterol and is supportive for brain and heart health. Avocados are also a B vitamin and vitamin E rich food. The asparagus is a great prebiotic which is good for the proliferation of beneficial microbes in the Gut and therefore good for brain health – see my latest blog on Stress & Anxiety. All these food are great to support good brain health.
