The MIND diet

I read that we should "eat a healthy, varied diet, like the MIND diet" to avoid Alzheimer's and noticed I already had "What's on the Mind Diet?" among my illustrations.  I find it puzzling that the diet recommends drinking wine daily with an alternative of grape juice. 

My dad was an alcoholic and wine goes down too easily when I drink it.  Since I do NOT want to become an alcoholic, I prefer that alternative (scribbled off to the side, above).  Anyway, I went looking for more information and found these five components that make up that diet:

I seem to be doing okay so far, but I always want to eat healthy food.  So I'm posting these charts where I can refer to them.  I can see that I eat more cheese than this plan says I should.  (I like the Cheesy Tuna Melt from our Café, but I don't get it that often.)  Some fiber that I eat regularly:  beans, lentils, fresh fruits (like strawberries, blueberries, and pears), avocados, barley.  Everybody around here knows I walk and walk and walk every day, through both of our buildings when the weather is bad and outside when it's good.

This anthology has short stories, autobiographical sketches, and excerpts from novels, which are accompanied by the editor's commentary and biographical notes on each contributor.  This compilation brings together many unpublished pieces by unknown writers along with important works by established authors that have, in  a cases, been unavailable to the general reader.

Here's what I posted this week:

1. On Monday, I was pondering both words and music, HERE.
2. I pondered a strange conversation and a tee shirt I was wearing on Tuesday, HERE.
3. On Wednesday, I wrote about an owl hooting off to the east of where I was walking, HERE.
4. On Thursday, I attended an exercise class where we talked about Endurance, Strangth, Balance, and Flexibility.  Then I came home and wrote about it, HERE.
5. On Friday, I shared a book, HERE, that I have re-read more than once. 
6. Saturday's post was about smiles, HERE.  Are smiles contagious?
