Sonoma County, CA. ~ Oc- casionally you'll hear some- one promoting a food that could improve your health and possibly extend your life but often it's not something you would want to eat everyday. Cholorella and spir- ulina come to mind. Or, it's not

studies


of its kind, 119,000 men and


women


were tracked and the results were astound- ing. Over the 30 year study pe- riod, people who ate just a handful of nuts (about 1/4 cup or an ounce) each day were 20% less likely to die from any cause, had a 29% reduc- tion in deaths from heart dis- ease, and an 11% reduction in deaths from cancer. Even those who only ate nuts once a week were 11% less likely to die from any cause. If a phar- maceutical drug had results like this, it would be a block- buster!


More recent studies are fo- cusing on the role nut con- sumption has on brain health, memory improvement, higher performance


tests, as well as dementia and Alzheimer’s. In a study done


with mice with Alzheimer’s disease, eating the human equivalent of 1 to 1.5oz of walnuts daily for 10 months showed improvement in mo- tor


coordination, learning


ability, memory, and anxious behavior. By the end of the study, the mice performed as well as those without the dis- ease. A number of human studies showed that regular consump- tion of walnuts and other nuts showed
