Hello to a fellow feathered friend 👋🏻 I once read an article on Straits Times that many residents in Singapore were complaining about the rise of chickens and roosters that were spotted roaming freely around housing estates. more

Just read a fascinating yet terrifying book on how our lifestyle choices influence brain health. Researchers and neurologists Drs Dean and Ayesha Sherzai presented groundbreaking findings that showed a positive association more

rjp I’m sorry that you and your family have experience with Alzheimer’s. I have not read this book, but am a fan of their work. Several years back in a Food Revolution interview, I heard the Dr.s say 90% of brain disease can be prevented! In Instagram, they recently shared a guide with a technique to “Improve Your Memory in 15 minutes.” Plus, they share some delish recipes (lentil tofu rolls 🤯) and I find it interesting they live in a Blue Zone (Loma Linda). Don’t know if you’re familiar with Dan Buettner’s work of popularizing the concept of Blue Zones, but Singapore has been named one. 1 likeReply
katherinenyc Thank you for your kind words, yes the statistics are impressive! I’ll have to check out the interview. I’ve surprisingly never heard of the Blue Zone before so this is new to me, but the concept seems fairly accurate based on how individuals from different cultures and parts of the world live their lifestyles. I will definitely read more on it. 🫶🏻1 likeReply
rjp Exactly! Lifestyle including diet. Blue Zones are regions where people live really long lives beyond 80. For watching, there is a documentary on Netflix, “Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones.” 1 likeReply

brtjohns Can relate. Have a grandma going through dementia. It's deeply agonizing to see a person who helped raise you, and was one of the brightest, kindest, most selfless, sociable people you'd ever meet, be robbed of all dignity, unable to communicate and think, mightily as they try. I hope the best for your family and smoothest transition at that time.

I've learned the importance of healthy fats and magnesium for maintaining brain health, as well as actively taking care of your gut biome, as the brain and gut are connected via the GBA (gut-brain axis), so consistently lots of fiber, prebiotics and perhaps probiotics are beneficial. DHA and EPA arent easy for plant based eaters to sufficiently intake, especially if not interested in the seaweed foods. A supplement we often forget, cant rely on the pitifully low conversion from ALA.1 likeReply
katherinenyc It really is dehumanizing to see someone plagued by a disease that slowly consumes them. Thank you my family and I are doing a lot better now. So sorry to hear about your grandmother. Hang in there! I’m currently reading up a lot on Alzheimer’s to educate myself better and your input was extremely helpful. And yes the brain-cut connection is extremely important.Reply

brtjohns I apologize for misleading that part. Happy to hear you and your family are doing well. He must've felt a lucky man to have you as a granddaughter. Take care.1 likeReply
katherinenyc Oh no I didn’t mean it that way, you weren’t misleading anything please don’t apologise. I was trying to corroborate with you with my first sentence. And thank you 🥺Reply

Scoop Wholefoods

A delicious chocolate chip cake topped with almond bits. It is not too dry, sweet or crumbly, and it has a nice balance of texture and flavour. The vegan cake selection varies across different Scoop Wholefoods outlets so more

This is by far my favourite dish from Genius Central. The Flavors of Asia Bowl brings a unique take to regular salad bowls which makes it very palatable. It has the perfect combination of rice noodles, mesclun, cabbage, more

All hail the vegan staple… Bragg’s nutritional yeast! I always have a couple of bottles stocked at home because I simply can’t live without it. It gives off a cheesy and nutty flavour, making them a perfect pairing for all more

This is most likely the best pasta I’ve ever had. This dish includes fettuccine topped with braised green rebel ‘steak’, mushroom jus, shaved cashew cheese and a mildly sweet yet flavourful tomato sauce.

This buttermilk fried “chicken breast” was amazing. The exterior was crispy while the ‘chicken’ itself was the tender and succulent. I am also in love with the gochujang mayo that came along with it which was slightly spicy more

The crispy floss maki is spectacular on so many levels 🥢 I love the contrast between the crispiness of the floss and the stickiness of the japanese white rice. The sushi is filled with raw “salmon”, avocado and cucumbers more
