[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).

Sarah and Dan:
First thing: Cold pressed NZ orange juice with Hawaiian Spirulina, Good Green Stuff (not recommended if pregnant but sarah had some but usually doesn’t), Nutrient Rescue double Shot (blackcurrant, wheatgrass, barley grass, green pea, boysenberry, broccoli sprout, spearmint leaf, and manuka leaf – All dried 100% New Zealand wholefood plant powder).
Breakfast: oats cooked with water, raisins, cinnamon – topped with Raglan Coconut Yoghurt (banana and chai flavour), banana, Nutrient Rescue Berry powder
Snack 1: Energy Bites (recipe https://www.sarahlemkus.com/blog/energy-bites), apple
Lunch: Left over bean chilli (recipe https://www.sarahlemkus.com/blog/mexican-fajitas-with-vegan-bean-chilli), potato chips (recipe https://www.sarahlemkus.com/blog/oil-free-potato-chips), Hummus (not sarah though)
Snack 2: Dates, nuts, energy bites, apples – not on camera at the snow
Dinner: Pumpkin and Lentil Soup (see recipe below) with broccoli – Dan ate a few pieces of toast too.
Beth: The only thing different she had was a Nutrient red shot with orange juice with her dinner instead of at breakfast.

Pumpkin and Lentil Soup Recipe:
1 whole pumpkin – smallish
300g red lentils
Pure vegetable stock – 2 tablespoons
1 -2 onions, chopped
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 thumb ginger, minced
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 tin tomatoes
1/2 can coconut cream
A small amount of water – not too much otherwise you will get runny soup.

Cook the pumpkin whole in the oven for 25 minutes. Peel skin off once cooked and de-seed. Chop into pieces ready for soup.
Cook the lentils in two cups of water until cooked (15 minutes). Strain and set aside.
Cook the onion in a large pot for five minutes. Add the garlic and ginger. Then add all the rest of your ingredients except the coconut cream. Simmer on low for 30 minutes. Then add the coconut cream. Cook for a further 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper and more curry powder if you wish – taste to see if it needs more.
This is a rough recipe! Please tweak it to your liking! Hope you enjoy!
