• New Years Gift - Live Longer

    “We found that people who ate nuts every day lived longer, healthier lives than people who didn’t eat nuts,” said study co-author Dr. Frank Hu, professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health. The report, in tomorrow’s New England Journal of Medicine, showed that daily nut-eaters were less likely to die of cancer, heart disease, and respiratory disease. Overall, the daily nut-eaters were 20% less likely to have died during the course of the study than those who avoided nuts. (Peanuts, which are actually legumes, counted as nuts in this study).

    Seriously:

    EAT NUTS = LIVE LONGER = CATCH MORE FISH




    And most of all, have a Happy New Year.

      Almond butter is very healthy for you, but can be very expensive. Additionally, much of what you buy has extra junk in it, so we make our own. Preheat oven to 350. Put raw, or at a minimum, unsalted almonds on a cookie sheet (we put them on parchment paper as well). Put in oven for 10-12 minutes, just to heat a bit and get the oil active. Put in food processor and grind until they turn to almond butter. You can't beat this!

      I think eating a bucket full of almonds put me in the ER a couple of years ago. I didn't get a good diagnosis since I also ate Mexican that evening. But, I gorged on some almonds since and had some labor pains again. So, I avoid them now. But, I will wipe out a can full of cashews in a couple of hours.

      No one said you need to eat a lb. of nuts people. A 1/2 to 1 full cup can make a huge difference in your diet. Make your own trail mixes, put them on ice cream or in baked goods- just GO NUTS!!!!!!!!!

      Raw almonds and cashews are the best! Plain and sometimes roasted.
