[What is Huperzine A]

Huperzia is a type of moss that grows in China. It is related to club mosses (the Lycopodiaceae family) and is known to some botanists as Lycopodium serratum . The whole prepared moss was used traditionally. Modern herbal preparations use only the isolated alkaloid known as huperzine A. Huperzine A is an alkaloid found in huperzia that has been reported to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine, an important substance needed by the nervous system to transmit information from cell to cell. Animal research has suggested that huperzine A’s ability to preserve acetylcholine may be greater than that of some prescription drugs. Loss of acetylcholine function is a primary feature of several disorders of brain function, including Alzheimer’s disease . Huperzine A may also have a protective effect on brain tissue, further increasing its theoretical potential for helping reduce symptoms of some brain disorders.

[Function] Used in alternative medicine, huperzine A has been found to act as a cholinesterase inhibitor, a type of medicine used to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine (a chemical essential to learning and memory).

Not only used as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease, huperzine A is also said to enhance learning and memory and to protect against age-related cognitive decline.

In addition, huperzine A is sometimes used to boost energy, increase alertness, and aid in the treatment of myasthenia gravis (an autoimmune disorder that affects the muscles).

Stevia sugar is a natural no calorie, non-glycemic sweetener derived from the thick, sweet leaves of the S. rebaudiana plant species. The leaves are one of the sweetest substances found in nature and abundant in steviol glycosides, containing glucose that does not get absorbed into the bloodstream.

We got lucky in the Bubble Child kitchen! CEO and Founder of Nossa! Fruits Damien Binois stops by to show us how to make an Acai Bowl with his organic frozen acai. Damien’s company is the only one in France to directly import and sell organic acai, and I’m happy to know it’s from someone with such product for the berry, the environment of Brazil, and food!!

I’m really happy with the way this superfood turned into frozen dessert. It’s completely grain-free, vegan, and gluten-free, and is loaded with minerals, vitamins, antioxydants, and omega fatty acids.

No wonder Brazilians have so much energy.

AVOCADO ACAI BOWL

serves two

400 g frozen acai (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 banana
1 avocado
1/4-1/2 tsp. stevia (depending upon how much you like it)*
a pinch wasabi powder
1 square dark chocolate
1/4 cup dried raspberries
2 tbs. roasted pumpkin seeds
lemon zest

1. Blend acai, banana, avocado, stevia and wasabi in a blender, starting with the banana and avocado on the bottom, and the acai, stevia, and wasabi powder on top.
2. Immediately spoon into serving containers. Top with raspberries and pumpkin seeds. Add a pinch of lemon zest, and finally grate some dark chocolate on top with a microphone for a fabulous texture.

*if you hate stevia, agave nectar or coconut sugar are other low glycemic replacements. Add about 2 tbs. or each if you’re replacing the stevia.
