I apologize for the quantity of emails recently. Between AGE and LPI meetings and questions from readers, there's a lot of information to share. This is the link to notes from the May issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. http://www.beloit.edu/nutrition/litnotes/litnotes07mayajcn.htm

Highlights:

Get choline for brain health - simple source is eggs every day

Fish oil rather than flaxseed for brain health

You need at least 4 oz of protein daily, especially if hospitalized

Oil and vinegar rather than creamy salad dressing is an easy choice to improve health and even reduce blood pressure.

Steamed/boiled foods are much better for your health than fried/grilled foods

Enjoy the sunshine if you are in the northern hemisphere! It's almost the summer equinox!
