[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).

I got bored..so I decided to shoot a quick easy breakfast video. Here is my take on blueberry muffins made from scratch! Hope you enjoy!

Recipe:

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cup of sugar of choice. I love coconut sugar in this recipe as well. Alter to your liking by 1/4 cup.. especially if you have sweet blueberries and will use the lemon sugar topping.

2 cups of flour
2 eggs
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
Fresh Blueberies
1/2 cup of oil. Coconut oil works well in these as well
1/2 cup of milk of your choice. Try with Almond milk or you guess it… coconut milk.
Lemon Zest
Extra sugar for topping

Set over at 350` F or 180 ` C
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in small bowl. Set Aside
Combine in another bowl all the wet ingredients plus sugar… whisk until blended.
Place wet ingredients with dry ingredients. Whisk until blended. Fold in fresh blueberries.
Place batter in greased muffin tins. Top with lemon zest and sugar.
Bake in oven for 25 minutes or until the toothpick insert comes out clean.

Enjoy!
