COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY FOOD STUDY

(picture is from our 2009 garden)


OLIVE OIL~TOMATOES~BROCCOLI~CAULIFLOWER~FRUITS
NUTS~POULTRY~GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES~FISH


According to a new study by Columbia University a diet rich in these foods has a powerful effect at staving off Alzheimer's disease. The study also concluded that butter and red meats were two foods to avoid. I have recently discovered how much I like kale...a green leafy vegetable. It's perfect to add to white beans or chick peas along with olive oil and garlic for a tasty side dish with fish.


Spinach is another green that is easy to add to a daily diet. It won't be long until the first picking of fresh spinach will be ready in our gardens and you will find it at the local farmer's market...perfect for salads, or in soups and quiches. A healthy boost to any diet.
