I love sharing the latest vegan research on how to stay healthy. Here is a health tip for you. There are many benefits to flavonoids due to their powerful antioxidant properties. They may help decrease chronic inflammation in our brains that has been associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Additionally, flavonoids may even assist in the growth of new neurons and block plaque accumulation ‒ a major risk factor for dementia. Research indicates that due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, they may also decrease the risk of other common diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. You can incorporate these powerful plant compounds into your diet by eating more berries, drinking tea, switching to 90% or above dark chocolate or raw cacao nibs, and adding a variety of leafy greens into your diet.
Let’s put on our hilarity socks and have some fun with the joke of the day. It’s called “Acting Boss.”
Aaron was telling his friend that he had just lost his job at a construction company:
“Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. But why did the foreman fire you?”
“Oh, you know how foremen are. They stand around and supervise while everybody else works.”
“Yeah, we all know that but why did he let you go?”
“Well, I think he was jealous of me, honestly, because all the other workers thought I was the foreman.”
?!
