A daily coffee ritual delights all of the senses - from smelling, hearing and watching a fresh cup brew, to feeling the warmth in your palms as you take that first sip.

Of all the ‘diets’ and methods of food combining out there, the Mediterranean Diet remains an often-recommended staple. Eating like a true Mediterranean would include wild fish, vegetables, fruit, and olive oil in abundance, with grains, legumes, dairy and wine in moderation. Its well-rounded and unrestrictive qualities make this diet a sustainable one that can ultimately become a lifestyle. Two key ingredients of the Mediterranean Diet have several of the vital nutrients, minerals and vitamins that aid in prolonging cognitive health and function, and in turn, helping prevent diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
