Vegetarian/Vegan Diets: Good Or Bad For Brain Health?

Good afternoon 👋 

Remember: it’s not about the calories in your food; it’s about the food in your calories!At least: for most people most of the time, nutrient density matters a lot more than calorie count.

In today’s email we cover vegetarian/vegan diets and brain health, avoiding burnout, and improving lymphatic health.

We’ve written before about the danger of PFAS, but what to do about these “forever chemicals” when they’re seemingly everywhere? Today’s sponsor The Filtery has a 5-day educational course to learn how to spot the worst offenders, avoid “greenwashing” (when sellers merely go for an environmentalist aesthetic rather than actually changing their processes) and reduce exposure in food, water, and everyday products. As a bonus, 10almonds readers get 50% off with code 10ALMONDS 😎

One-Minute Book Review

10 Powerful Tips To Improve Lymph Flow – by Laurel West

The lymphatic system is a large part of the body’s “clean-up” system, as well having an important role in fighting cancer specifically. As such, while it doesn’t get nearly as much popular attention as our circulatory system or our nervous system, say, it is critically important.

The author, a massage therapist, knows her stuff when it comes to lymph, and shows that here.

As this is a very lean book, weighing in at a mere 87 pages, you can imagine it gets straight to the point.

So will we! The titular “10 powerful tips” are:

1. Drink water

2. Matcha meditation

3. Breathwork

4. Dry brushing

5. Hydrotherapy

6. Stretching

7. Sweating

8. Lymphatic facial massage

9. Advanced lymphatic massage

10. Anti-inflammatory diet

Of course, she does explain each of those; some are more obvious than others; “drink water” takes less explanation than “advanced lymphatic massage”, say.

The style is, as you might expect, concise. It’s more of a primer than a textbook, and it does communicate its ideas clearly.

Bottom line: if you’d like to manage your lymph better, this book is an excellent way to get started.
