Dr Jockers Comments:
This recipe tastes amazing and is full of powerful nutrition in the form of antioxidants good fats and protein. Your brain is composed of mostly fatty acids.
Your brain depends upon a steady supply of saturated fat and omega 3 fatty acids along with key antioxidants in order to function and rebuild itself properly. Organic eggs (ideally from pasture fed chickens) provide tons of healthy fats, antioxidants, clean proteins and unique brain boosting nutrients such as phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine.
Italian herbs like oregano, basil & thyme are loaded with antioxidants that protect the brain tissue. Turmeric is full of curcuminoid antioxidants which are some of the most powerful anti-inflammatory compounds ever studies. This recipe is guaranteed to help you build a better brain!
Dr. Jockers, my husband is fighting brain cancer holistically and doing very well. I love recipes like this one! I was wondering if somehow you could put a print feature on your recipes? Thank you so much!!!!
