Stay-Healthy Forever Tricks!

Outsmart arthritis with Brazil nuts!  Just one delivers all the selenium you need for the day!  Chemicals in selenium protect joint cartilage.

Banish pain when hiking and biking with blueberries.

Boost optimism with magnesium!  Snack on sunflower seeds!

Thwart lung cancer with potatoes and bananas.

Preserve your vision with vitamin C from bell peppers and leafy dark greens.

Stay on the go with greens!  Spinach, lettuce, cabbage and other leafy greens are packed with vitamin K, which reduces your risk of osteoarthritis.  It helps regulate the flow of calcium in and out of the bones, ensuring you don't lose too much.

Sip green tea!

Ground flaxseeds contain natural estrogen-like plant compounds.

Bananas, pineapple, strawberries, apples, ginger, pumpkin, sweet potato or squash, pistachios, salsa, blackstrap molasses.

Four short bursts of high-intensity exercise daily, such as trotting up the stairs or tidying at top speed.

After dad's exercise class this morning, we went to J.C. Penney's and bought him a new electric blanket!

Later, I went to Michael's and bought some "leather lace" and a lobster claw clasp.  I'm going to attempt to make a pair of "barefoot, soleless, sandals".
