An Apple a Day

Stat of the Day:  A healthy diet full of fresh fruits and vegetables helps ward off a large variety of illnesses, including Alzheimer's disease.

Apples are high in antioxidents and help protect neurons in the brain.  Go to Sunrise Senior Living blog to read the full article.  For the Dementia Awareness Forum last Spring at the Central Lakes College in Brainerd, the LAMAA group served a "Memory Cafe" including veggies, like broccoli, fresh fruit, and grape juice.

Another great food choice this fall is pumpkins, squash, and fresh tomatoes. Even better if they've come from your garden or from a friend.

Put down the donuts, french fries, and chips, and grab up your favorite fall fruit.  I think I'll enjoy my afternoon apple with a slice of cheese and a glass of grape juice. 

Cheers!
