GABA is the primary neurotransmitter in the temporal lobe, the area of the brain that governs perception, attention, speech and motions. Low levels of this chemical have been linked to psychological symptoms such as insecurity, excessive worrying, fear of new experiences, poor concentration and lack of impulse control (EMOTIONAL EATING). But as GABA shortfalls are corrected, we can regain calmness, dependability and objectivity. GABA deficiency displays as anxiousness, nervousness, irritability, restlessness, allergies, blurred vision, clammy hands, butterflies in the stomach, dizziness, IBS, constipation, neuropathy, fibromyalgia, headache, insomnia, trembling or shaking, tinnitus, manic depression, and mood disorders. You don?t need all of these issues to be deficient in GABA. To read more on foods and supplements that can increase GABA, check out my book: Secrets to Controlling Your Weight Cravings and Mood.
One way to help our brain is to fill it with healthy protein and fats. So here is a way to get our kids started on the right foot! Growing up on GMO filled cereal and hormone filled skim milk is so detrimental to a growing brain!
1 cup almond flour (or 1/2 cup coconut flour)
1 cup vanilla egg white or whey protein (Jay Robb)
1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt
1 TBS aluminum free baking powder
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (1 1/2 cup if using coconut flour)
2 eggs (4 eggs if using coconut flour)
4 TBS butter or coconut oil, melted
1 TBS oregano
1 clove garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
1 cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese (I love Asiago, but any kind works:)
Preheat waffle iron to high. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Combine the wet ingredients in another bowl. Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry. Let sit for 5 minutes. Bake according to your waffle iron directions (I spray my waffle iron with THIS Coconut oil spray). Enjoy! Makes 10 servings. NOTE: Waffle iron has to be VERY hot and leave the waffles in for a few extra minutes before opening, or they will stick!
