SHOPPING

THERE ARE PLENTY OF delicious Brain-Boosting Foods to chose from. If you can,  grow your own - especially the leafy greens, as it is very difficult to remove the chemical residue from them. If you have to buy them, wash in apple cider vinegar and rinse thoroughly.

Rule number one that you must follow is that you NEVER shop in the central aisles of the supermarket.
The only things you will be buying are fresh whole foods, and oils. Anything in a packet will exacerbate chronic inflammation in the body.
