Polyphenols including purple, dark red and blue plants like beetroot, red grapes and blueberries play an important role in maintaining a healthy brain.
When consumed daily they can alter the balance between good gut bacteria and removing harmful bacteria reducing inflammation.
A beetroot, berry, tomato and coconut water smoothie is a great way to start the day. If time isn’t on your side you can always throw some spinach, beetroot and feta cheese in a bowl and get your daily intake as a salad.
Simply boil 1kg of fresh beetroot for 45mins. Then put in cold water to peel using your fingers - the skin will fall off. Slice them up and put them in a casserole dish. Thinly slice a red onion and add it with 300gm of goat cheese, some rosemary, thyme, salt, walnuts and cream. Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for roughly 25mins.
When consuming polyphenols daily you can record data and discover patterns where you can identify possible improvement of symptoms. This information can then be shared with your specialist.
