Join the Apple Rally!  US APPLE ASSOCIATION You are the apple of my eye! "Cited from www.bestapples.com" AGE-RELATED MEMORY IMPROVEMENT LINKED WITH CONSUMPTION OF APPLE PRODUCTS Juice Associated With Brain Health In Older Animals – “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.

Fresh Cherries May Help Arthritis Sufferers California Chef Talk on Walnuts and Walnut Oil 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. |

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.
5 FRUITS A DAY 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. 
The Wonderful World of Potatoes!(Handclapping Rhyme) Author: Unknown One potato, two potato, three potato, four, five potato, six potato, seven potato more. Icha bacha, soda cracker, Icha bacha boo. Icha bacha, soda cracker, out goes Y-O-U! (This chant is used to find the first person to be "It" when beginning a game. All players put their fisted hands together in a circle and one person starts the chant by tapping each fist in succession. When "Y-O-U" is said, the person whose fist is tapped puts that fist behind their back. Then the chant starts again with the chanter starting with the fist of someone else. As soon as one person has both hands out of the circle they are "It". ) The Irish Potato Famine |
