Why I Want My Omega 3s and Vitamin D Nutrients
Dr. Barry Sears was a guest lecturer some years ago when I was attending nutrition classes in New York. Dr. Sears was spending much of his work hours helping kids with ADD and ADHD as he looked for some nutritional ways to help them.
Often improvement to focus occurs by eliminating some foods, most notably sugar and inflammatory foods like french fries and highly processed foods made with trans fats and additives. Dr. Sears guided young patients struggling with attention disorders to improve their diets. Then to further treat attention disorders, , Dr. Sears found that adequate omega 3’s (fish oils) gave a significant boost to brain health and focus.
The nutrient chart below highlights the way Omega 3s and other nutrients support brain health not only of developing brains in children, but also the brains and cognitive function of adults of all ages.
I’m always a proponent of getting your nutrients from food first, and supplements second. But two important nutrients, Omega 3s and Vitamin D, are hard to get in adequate amounts from food alone. I use and make available by mail order both of these nutrients through Metagenics, a company with a solid reputation nd strong R&D labs to ensure high quality.
My personal choice is Omegagenics EPA-DHA 2400 Lliquid for omega 3s and D3 Liquid and I’m able to offer a 20% discount through my portal. I opt for liquid in both cases because liquid is the most absorbable way to take any supplement or medication. As for magnesium and Vitamin C, with a good diet you should be able to get adequate amounts through food alone.

Eating Our Way Through Spain, France and Italy
Travel in Barcelona
One of theist parts of travel is the chance to try foods from different regions. On this recent trip our first stop was Barcelona, Spain where for was fresh and delicious.
On to the home of Salvador Dali
We visited Cadeques, the hometown of Salvador Dali on the Northeast coast of Spain, and enjoyed a beautiful dish of baked lamb chops with vegetables on the shore of the Mediterranean.
Provence
From there we traveled up the coast to the city of Arles, France and visited the vineyards in Provence. By chance we found a beautiful hotel , Les Florets, where they are well known for their gourmet food. We had an exquisite meal of roast and vegetables and finished with a yummy indulgent dessert. I didn’t take o photo of the main meal but did get one of the squash soup I had earlier in the day along with the dessert from Les Florets.
There were some beautiful lunches we had while in Provence. Here are a couple of samples:
Monaco
We had a brief 2 night stop in Monaco and found some delicious food there.
Lake Como Region, Italy
From there it was on to Lake Como, Italy where we enjoyed an all day cooking class with Moreno in the village of Varenna. He showed us the authentic way to make pasta and regaled us with stories (and wine) throughout the day.
Cinque Terre, Italy
Our next stop was Cinque Terre, where we stayed in the village of Monterosso. There we found some fresh fruit and vegetable stands and I was amazed by the size of the lemons, for which Cinque Terre is well known.
Florence
Florence was our last stop and there I especially enjoyed a classic Tuscan winter soup called Ribollita.
