Another electronic sticky note from my world famous Electronic Sticky Note series. One of these days I’ll remember some of these posts for some of the recipes I wanted to try but never did. 19 Easy Corn Recipes – https://www.budgetbytes.com/corn-recipes/
After participants consumed peanuts daily for 16 weeks, researchers observed improved insulin responsiveness in a group of brain regions in the right hemisphere. These included portions of the lingual gyrus, hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus, and posterior cingulate gyrus, all of which contribute to memory-related processes. Scientists discover a surprising brain benefit of eating peanuts every day […]

I’ll search for the episode online and take a look. Thanks.
