It’s no secret that a diet rich in healthy foods is good for your brain. The antioxidants in natural food help to keep the brain vibrant and young. Good oils fight inflammation and the minerals and vitamins provide much needed nutrition. The following recipe is great for healthy oils and other antioxidants:

- Salt and pepper, to taste
Preparation
- Mix the flax seed meal and water and set aside for 5 minutes.
