A healthy brain starts with a healthy gut. Want to think smart? Then eat smart! While healthy foods and drinks keep your stomach happy, they’re also brain enhancing. Why?

For the first time, green foods scored: green tea, spinach and other leafy greens! We’re four months into 2021, but it feels like a new year. Time for green eating to drop the Covid-15+ pounds, feel good and look great! I’m a green girl myself. In color therapy, green means life: energy, freshness, nature and renewal.

Springtime, with all things green and citrusy, is perfect to talk about tart tastes with tingly sensations! Before you cringe with stomach despair, consider this: tartness perks foods and drinks and freshens flavors. It takes just a little. Promise.

Despite my nutrition know better, I’m still a burnt foods aficionado. While I totally get carbon and health issues, burnt foods enliven my palate and propel my picks. Maybe why: Burnt’s not taste like bitter, but sensation that tingles your insides—in a respectable way.

I could eat white potatoes for breakfast, lunch and dinner—and often do. Fried for breakfast, chipped for lunch and mashed for dinner. Often the reverse.

I ate whole eggs daily and still love a runny yolk. But egg whites? Never. I didn’t get their glamor.
