Whole grains = Brain food/ brain booster

Whole grains – Whole grains, such as oatmeal, whole-grain breads, and brown rice can reduce the risk for heart disease.  "Every organ in the body is dependent on blood flow," says Dr. Pratt. "If you promote cardiovascular health, you're promoting good flow to the organ system, which includes the brain."  While wheat germ is not technically a whole grain, it also goes on Dr. Kulze's "superfoods" list because in addition to fiber, it has vitamin E and some omega-3s.  Dr. Kulze suggests 1/2 cup of whole-grain cereal, 1 slice of bread two-three times day, or 2 tablespoons of wheat germ a day.
