🧠 5 tips for keeping your brain healthy
Hi Reader,
One of the reasons why I'm so passionate about sharing easy vegan recipes is that by eating more plant-based, you help not only the animals and the environment, but your health as well.
And when it comes to my own health, one of my top concerns is brain health.
Because watching my mom suffer for years from a rare degenerative brain disease and passing away at the young age of 69 is something I think about every day.
Fortunately there are easy and fun steps we can all take to keep our brains healthy:
- Improve your diet: According to researchers at Harvard, good nutrition can help your mind as well as your body. And people who follow a plant-based Mediterranean diet are less likely to develop cognitive impairment and dementia. 🥕🍎🥬
- Get physical exercise: Physical exercise not only works your heart and muscles, it also improves your brain, according to Harvard researchers. And you don't have to train for a marathon or Ironman to benefit. You can simply go outside and walk, run, or ride your bike. 🚶♀️🚴♀️
- Get mental stimulation: Reading, taking courses, word and math puzzles, and arts and crafts all may help build new brain cells and prevent future loss. Try something new and see what you enjoy. 📚🎨
- Get enough sleep and take care of your mental health: And set boundaries for how much time you spend on social media. 😴🧘

Hi Reader, I first started making rosemary tofu with nutritional yeast as a Thanksgiving main since the cozy flavors pair so well with mashed potatoes, gravy, roasted veggies, and all the usual holiday favorites. But now I make this crispy tofu all year long, and my family loves it with rice, salad, pasta, you name it. The best part is it only takes about 30 minutes. I have tried many recipes for tofu, and this, by far, has been my favorite. Delicious!! -- Kristen Get the recipe for Rosemary...

Hi Reader, Maybe it is the orange color, but sweet potatoes put me in a fall mood. I have been craving something cozy, so I’m making vegan mashed sweet potatoes this week. They're baked first, then mashed with coconut milk and a little cinnamon. Only three main ingredients, super simple, and very comforting.
