I was at the same graduation in Madison last weekend and had some of the same thoughts. Thank you for these helpful tips and resources!

Thank you - my oldest granddaughter likes to cook so I try to send her easy healthy recipes to make.

As always such good information and ideas for brain health. I am so concerned about my grandchildren 13, 11 and 5. They eat way too much junk food. I am debating on whether to send this to my son and his wife. They have lots of stress in their lives right now.

It's a tricky position to be in, that's for sure, especially if they are not receptive to the information. At least the kids will have the experience of a UPF-free zone, much like when I'd visit my Sicilian grandparents. It had a lasting impact on me.

At this very moment, I’m reading this article bedside as my mom loses her devastating battle with Alzheimer’s. My daughters, ages 22 & 19 are here with us. What I wouldn’t give for them to join me in adopting these practices so we all keep our brains healthy for the long haul! Thank you for equipping me with more information to continue having these conversations.
