"Cited from www.bestapples.com" AGE-RELATED MEMORY IMPROVEMENT LINKED WITH CONSUMPTION OF APPLE PRODUCTS New Study Finds Consuming Apple Juice Associated With Brain Health In Older Animals LOWELL, MASS. (January 19, 2006) – “An apple a day” now has new meaning for those who want to maintain mental dexterity as they age. New research from the University of Massachusetts Lowell suggests that consuming apple juice may protect against cell damage that contributes to age-related memory loss, even in test animals that were not prone to developing Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. “This new study suggests that eating and drinking apples and apple juice, in conjunction with a balanced diet, can protect the brain from the effects of oxidative stress – and that we should eat such antioxidant-rich foods,” notes lead researcher Thomas B. Shea, Ph.D ., director of the University of Massachusetts Lowell’s Center for Cellular Neurobiology and Neurodegeneration Research, whose study was just published in the latest issue of the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. Although more research is needed, Shea is excited about these brain health findings, which are encouraging for all individuals who are interested in staying mentally sharp as they age.

American Medical Network on Broccoli Fresh Cherries May Help Arthritis Sufferers California Chef Talk on Walnuts and Walnut Oil Because California is the world's largest producer of walnuts, Americans are most apt to find California walnut oils on their supermarket shelves. Up until now, the quality has not been up to the standards of the French oils. Fortunately, small companies, such as The California Press in Yountville, California, by studying the French processing methods, have thankfully been able to achieve remarkable flavor success. California Press sends out an exceptionally high quality recipe packet. Whether French or American, however, price usually is the determining factor in taste. Using whole nuts or large nut pieces, careful roasting, and proper filtering increases the price to the consumer. Walnut oil is not a cooking oil; high heat destroys its delicate flavor. Where it does shine is as an ingredient in a salad dressing or a fresh pasta sauce or to give a final fillip to a finished dish. Mixed with a little cream and medium dry sherry, it gives class to a piece of freshly poached salmon or chicken breast. A few toasted walnuts add texture and decoration. A mix of walnut oil, sherry vinegar, a touch of garlic, prepared mustard, and salt makes an excellent dressing for an endive and radicchio salad. Top the salad with a sprinkle of crumbled blue cheese. And for an entrée, use walnut oil in fresh vegetable pasta sauces. Toss steamed fresh garden spinach and chopped shallots with a little walnut oil to put over pasta for the perfect Sunday night supper.

Linseed oil over your salad bowl. Flax will bounce up your energy! Get a new de-flaxed self! Do have a leek! The leek (Allium ampeloprasum) is a member of the onion family originally from the islands of the Mediterranean. It is a temperate crop but can sometimes be grown in the tropics at higher altitudes. Leeks are grown from seed and have tall flat leaves compared to onions. The lower parts of leeks are often covered with soil, which produces a milder flavor that is valued in soups. Leeks share the beneficial antioxidant qualities of onions. ONIONS USA! Higher intakes of fruits and vegetables have been associated with a variety of health benefits. Research shows that onions may help guard against many chronic diseases. That's probably because onions contain generous amounts of a flavonoid called quercetin. Other sources are tea and apples, but research shows that absorption of quercetin from onions is twice that from tea and more than three times that from apples. Studies have shown that quercetin protects against cataracts, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. SWEDISH NATIONAL FOOD ADMINISTRATION The World Cancer Research Fund and American Institute for Cancer Research recommend 400-800 grammes of fruit and vegetables per person per day, corresponding to at least 5 servings per day (3). Pulses and fruit and vegetables high in starch (such as potatoes and plantain) are not mentioned in the recommendation. The background of the recommendation is stated to be convincing evidence that a diet high in vegetables and/or fruit protects against cancer of the mouth, larynx, oesophagus, lungs (especially green vegetables), stomach (especially raw vegetables, green vegetables, the onion family, carrots, tomatoes and citrus fruits), and colorectal cancer.

As soon as one person has both hands out of the circle they are "It". ) The Irish Potato Famine
