Eat Your Broccoli—Choline in the Brain

I wrote about this in Oct. 2011 and I bet not one doctor in the world has taken the research to heart and created a stroke protocol for it. YOU are going to have to demand protocols that work because your doctor won't do it without pressure.

A chronic treatment with CDP-choline improves functional recovery and increases neuronal plasticity after experimental stroke

Smoothies

Michigan is a great place to live to get fruit most of the year. I bought a Nutribullet to create some smoothies. I've been able to get 2 pounds of strawberries for $5 or $6 all year, along with pints of raspberries and blueberries.  I use 1 pound of strawberries, 2 bananas, 1/4 cup of almonds.
I haven't been doing the tomato and green smoothies yet.
Good for these reasons.

Flavonoids are a class of polyphenols. They include the following subclasses:

• Anthocyanidins—In blueberries, red wine, and strawberries.
• Flavan-3-ols—In apples, black tea, blueberries, chocolate, and red wine.
• Flavanones—In citrus fruit and juices and herbal tea.
• Flavones—In celery, garlic, green peppers, and herbal tea.
• Flavonols—In blueberries, garlic, kale, onions, spinach, tea, broccoli, red wine, and cherry tomatoes.
• Proanthocyanidins—In apples, black tea, blueberries, chocolate, mixed nuts, peanuts, red wine, strawberries, and walnuts.
• Isoflavones—In soy products and peanuts. 

Strawberries and blueberries alone turn into a gel but adding a banana keeps it liquid.
