Nuts are one of my favorite afternoon snacks. I also love to toast chopped pecans and stir them into yogurt or cottage cheese in the morning. Packed with antioxidants, healthy fats and protein, they can help protect your brain. Read more about them in 7 Nuts and Seeds That Can Give Your Brain a Boost.
What are your favorite nuts and how do you eat them? Let me know at betsy@aarp.org and we may publish your stories.
In the last Your Health newsletter, we featured the #1 Exercise for Belly Fat. Although you have to lose weight to get rid of belly fat, strengthening your core has numerous health benefits, including improving balance and helping with back and joint pain. After you’ve tried this exercise, you can check out more exercises in our series of simple but effective moves, including #1 exercises for balance, neck, shoulders, knees, glutes and back.
If you try any of these exercises, let me know how it goes at betsy@aarp.org.
