Wow, a new study has just landed! It´s a 2026 research that is a total game-changer for how we look at our daily routines. We talk a lot about "brain hacks" and supplements, but it turns out the ultimate cognitive super-weapon might actually be sitting in your kitchen drawer. It's called... a spatula. A massive study recently tracked 11,000 adults, and the results are wild. Cooking at home just once a week can slash your dementia risk by over 25%. 🍳🧑‍🍳🍳🧑‍🍳🍳🧑‍🍳🍳🧑‍🍳🍳🧑‍🍳🍳🧑‍🍳🍳🧑‍🍳🍳🧑‍🍳🍳🧑‍🍳 But here’s the kicker: The worse you are at cooking, the better it is for your brain. 🍳🧑‍🍳🍳🧑‍🍳🍳🧑‍🍳🍳🧑‍🍳🍳🧑‍🍳🍳🧑‍🍳🍳🧑‍🍳🍳🧑‍🍳🍳🧑‍🍳 The researchers found that "novice" cooks (the people who probably burn toast and have to Google how to boil an egg) saw a nearly 70% reduction in risk. Why? Because your brain is working overtime! - Executive Function: Trying not to set the kitchen on fire while timing the pasta. - Working Memory: "Wait, did I already add the salt?" - Sensory Overload: The smells, the textures, the heat - it’s like a HIIT workout for your neurons. For an expert, cooking is "autopilot." For the rest of us, it’s a high-stakes puzzle that keeps the brain young. 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡💡 💡 💡 The "One-Meal" Challenge You don’t need to be Gordon Ramsay. You don't even need to be good. You just need to turn off UberEats and get your hands dirty. 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 The ROI is insane: 🥚Better nutrition (less processed junk). 🥚Massive "Cognitive Reserve" (shielding your brain from aging). 🥚A sense of accomplishment (even if the chicken is a little dry). 👇 Let’s see 1. What is the ONE dish you can actually cook without a recipe? 2. Or, are you a "Novice" who is currently saving your brain by being terrible at it? Let’s see those "culinary masterpieces" (or disasters) below! 🥘👇

Hi @Elena Maren I thought I remember reading somewhere that you use Yerba Mate tea when you fast. Is that right? I can't find the post now. I am thinking of embarking on 72 hour fast and I was wondering if just water and the Yerba Mate is enough. Since you told me to drink it after meals I have been doing that but I wasn't sure whether using it during a fast is a good thing. It is still too cold in England to start making green veggie juice so I thought maybe a warm fast might be better. ☺️

We went on an evening hike today, and my son came around a bend in the path and said he’d found some weird looking mushrooms. I got so excited! Look at these beauties! I’ve been looking for morels in our area for 10 years! I’m try to decide how many I cook and how many I use to spread spore around our yard.
