Keeping on the theme of nuts, sometimes I forget on purpose, just for the convenience of it. At times, unfortunately, I really do find myself at a loss. That’s when I stare at my assortment of nuts and try to think, “Hmm..are walnuts or pecans the research-proven ‘brain food?’” (smile) Seriously, it has not come to that. And walnuts have indeed been proven to assist in improving memory and behavioral skills.
