Breakfast isn’t just about oatmeal—plus, I like to eat non-traditional things for my morning meal—so I get my whole grains fix from gluten-free quinoa, which is packed with protein so it’ll keep you feeling full. That’s why I included this recipe for Apple-Cinnamon Breakfast Quinoa in my new book, Flavor First (Rodale, 2011). Enjoy!

Train Your (Aging) Brain

The right foods can keep your brain young. Start with these colorful veggies.

Carrots for memory. Carrots—along with bell peppers, celery, rosemary and thyme—contain luteolin, a flavonoid believed to reduce inflammation that can lead to cognitive decline. In a study published in the October 2010 issue of The Journal of Nutrition, mice that ate a diet that included luteolin had better spatial memory (e.g., how quickly they found a platform in a water maze) and less inflammation than mice who didn’t get any luteolin.
