 "As
scientists uncover the impacts of diet on brain
function, the adage 'You are what you eat,' takes on new
meaning," said press conference moderator Fernando
Gomez-Pinilla, PhD, of the University of California, Los
Angeles, an expert in the impact of the environment on
brain health. "We cannot separate the nutritional
benefits of food for the body from that of the mind.
What we put into the body also shapes the brain, for
better or for worse."

Secret of Success
 A
young man asked Socrates the secret of success. Socrates
told the young man to meet him near the river the next
morning. They met. Socrates asked the young man to walk
with him into the river. When the water got up to their
neck, Socrates took the young man by surprise and
swiftly ducked him into the water.
The boy struggled to get out but Socrates was strong and
kept him there until the boy started turning blue.
Socrates pulled the boy’s head out of the water and the
first thing the young man did was to gasp and take a
deep breath of air.
Socrates asked him, "what did you want the most when you
were there?" The boy replied, "Air". Socrates said,
"That is the secret of success! When you want success as
badly as you wanted the air, then you will get it!"
There is no other secret.

Ingredients:
Seasoning Marinade
Filling
-
1/2 Tbsp. canola oil
-
1 lb. turkey cutlets or boneless turkey breast, cut
into 3/4-inch by 3-inch pieces
-
4 taco-size (9-in) whole-wheat tortillas
-
1⅓ cups lightly packed baby spinach
-
1/2 cup salsa verde
-
2 (1/2-in) slices red onion, halved crosswise
-
12 (1/2-in.) strips red bell pepper
|
Directions:
-
In small bowl, whisk together chili powder,
cinnamon, cumin, garlic powder, coffee and black
pepper.
-
Place canola oil and turkey in mixing bowl and add
dry seasoning. Using fork or your hands, mix to coat
turkey evenly with marinade. Set aside for 20-30
minutes.
-
Heat medium cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Lay a large sheet of foil on your work surface. One
at a time, heat tortillas in dry pan until they are
flexible, about 1 minute, turning them after 30
seconds. Stack tortillas on foil, covering them with
an inverted plate until all tortillas are warmed,
then seal tortillas in foil, and set them aside.
-
Heat grill-pan or stovetop grill over high heat
until a drop of water flicked onto it dances. Using
tongs, arrange seasoned turkey pieces in rows on
grill, placing them 1/2-inch apart. This may require
cooking turkey in two batches. Grill for 6 minutes,
turning pieces every 1 minute so they cook evenly
and to avoid burning. Transfer cooked turkey to
serving plate.
-
To assemble fajitas, place warm tortilla on a dinner
plate, preferably warm. Arrange one-fourth of
spinach in center of tortilla. Add one-fourth of
turkey. Spoon on one-fourth of salsa, top with half
an onion slice and 4 pepper strips. Fold in top and
bottom of tortilla, then sides. Serve immediately.
