GOOD TO KNOW-GOOD TO EAT FOODS 

C.S. Lewis pointed out many years ago- “You are never too old to set a new goal or dream a new dream.” That being said, what can we do to reach an old age where we can  still  appreciate and enjoy our new dreams. Here are some useful tips –
Anti -Aging Foods

·        Cereal – more than 3 grams of fiber per serving
·        Bread with fiber
·        Watermelon – protects skin from sun
·        Apples with skin
·        Pure pumpkin (canned)
·        Blueberries (brain food)
·        Green/ black tea
·        Tomato paste/ sauce

Super Foods

·        Beans – control blood sugar and appetite
·        Broccoli – cuts cancer risk, broccoli sprouts even better than broccoli
·        Oats – lower cholesterol level
·        Oranges – vitamin C
·        Wild Salmon – lower rate of cardiac arrest and death (3 oz four times per week) may be canned
·        Soya – complete protein
·        Spinach/ leafy greens – loaded with vitamins
·        Raw/ cooked tomatoes (lecithin)
·        Raw nuts – lower cardio disease risk (keep in sealed container in fridge, 1 handful per day

General

·        Drink paper filtered coffee (filters out harmful ingredients)
·        1 aspirin per day – keeps artery elasticity, lowers cardio problems
·        1 oz real chocolate/ day (with real cacao, the more cacao,  the better) helps keep skin elasticity and sheen

Since your brain is 60 per cent fat support your brain

 health by eating good fats as often as possible such

 as olive oil, coconut oil, eggs, avocado, 70-80%

 chocolate, nuts,  and seeds.

New research has shown that a good, restful sleep

 help prevent dementia.

While you sleep your body rinses your brain with fluids that actually wash away the plaques that cause Alzheimer’s and dementia.

 High blood sugar level also affects your brain functions as the sugar shreds the arteries causing plaque to build up and your brain doesn't get enough nutrients and oxygen  resulting in feeling foggy, memory  problems, and comprehension.
The plaque build up will also lead to heart attacks and strokes.

  What do you think? Can birds help combat the catastrophic impacts of  climate chaos ? YES! YES! A THOUSAND TIMES YES! Birds do an incredible job of  helping to create new forests by eating tons of tree seeds.  As they fly all over the forests the tree seeds in their poop is dropped on the forest  floor.  And, the poop helps to fertilize the tree seeds as they sprout into saplings. 92% of woody plants are grown from the seeds dropped by birds in their poop !  182 species are edible. 85 species are used for timber.  153 species are medicinal  plants. 156 species are ornamental.  A new study   published  in Forest Ecosystems   (20220 concluded large fruit-eating animals, including birds like toucans significantly help regenerate forests which are  giant traps for carbon, collectively, absorbing  as much as 30 percent of the world’s CO2 emissions , and store more than 1,600 gigatonnes of car...

As I was picking up all kinds of litter such as license plates, chairs, discarded clothing, plastic bags, lots  of cigarette butts, and a myriad of discarded coffee containers, I began to reflect on all the problems triggered by litter. Here in Canada, we are very lucky to have an organized system where most municipalities and cities  make sure that there are regular pick-ups for your garbage, compost, and recyclables.
