Your brain is essentially like a switchboard that operates your entire body…. from your systems and mechanisms to mood and emotions to bodily functions, it absolutely does it ALL. Proper nutrition and brain support are therefore an integral component to ensuring that your brain health is in tiptop shape for all of your day-to-day, living needs!
I’ve rounded up 8 Products offered here at Ambrosia that are particularly beneficial for your brain… and how you can incorporate them into your everyday living!
- Walnuts… pssssst interested in a hot tip? A little birdie told me that walnuts are on sale ALL April!! Try sprinkling walnuts into your cereals, make homemade trail mix or grind them up into your smoothies. PS. Doesn’t the walnut kind of look like a brain?! Coincidence? I think not!
- Ginko Biloba – Organika
- Meno-Prev + Mood & Memory – CanPrev
- Avocados – The recipe options for avocados are ENDLESS! From salads to sandwiches to spreads and dips you really can’t go wrong when you add avocados into the ingredient mix!
- Chickpeas – Like avocados, chickpeas are easily adaptable and can be added to a variety of recipes! Below is one of my favourite salad recipes, which combines both of these nutrition-packed ingredients:

- Broccoli – Broccoli soup is one of my favourite dishes! It’s incredibly easy, tasty and nutritious! Not to mention, the colours are so bright and vibrant. Gordon Ramsey has a very simple broccoli soup recipe that is absolutely perfect for those busy days when you’re just too busy to plan supper. Check it out here!
