This is an interesting post.
ReplyDeleteI have heard about all of these foods being of importance to our diet. The one that I try to focus on is the Omega 3s. I really think that this is an important "food". This is the one supplement that I am willing to dole out the money. I have decided that taking viatmin supplements are not as important thus are lower on my level of priorities. Actually, I want to focus on Isaiah with this supplement. Hmm..better open open my new supplements. I usually use Nordic Naturals for Omega 3s. http://www.luckyvitamin.com/768990017209.html
Also, I have heard good things about Omega 3s in regards to Depressions...see my blog.
It is interesting to know about the relation to Alzheimer's. My Grandma had Alzheimer's. I will let my Mom know.
I have friends at work (going through menopause) who swear by soybeans. They eat a lot of soybeans and even tofu.
One friend makes a mixture of legumes,soybeans and tofu. It looks interesting. I have never tasted it but maybe I should obtain her recipe for future use.
