Saturday some Fiber friends and I helped out at a farm on Sheep Shearing Day. What a cool experience.
At the end of day, after a hearty meal I was given a dozen farm eggs to take home. They weren’t washed yet so could be left on the counter. What a great offering.
The taste of a farm egg is like no other. Delicious. So flavorful and rich.
My friend and I were at the skirting table picking out hay and debris from the fleece. All the lanolin was like a spa treatment even after you washed your hands. Boss Mare Shearing made it look easy. It’s not.
Recently I attended a talk at the Senior Center by nutritionist Leslie J.Bonci MPH, RD, CSSD, LDN.
I looked up all the credential abbreviations so you don’t have to.
(Master of Public Health (MPH) focused in Nutritional epidemiology from U of Pittsburgh)
(Board Certification as a Specialist in Sports Dietetics (CSSD) is for Registered Dietitians (RD) who specialize in exercise and performance nutrition, clinical sports nutrition, and nutrition operations and management

She was very informative and one of her recommendations for increased bone health was to eat five prunes a day.
“Prunes contain bioactive compounds called polyphenols, which help protect plum trees from insects and disease. In people, these beneficial compounds seem to reduce the inflammation processes that lead to bone loss. Prunes also contain vitamin K, and low vitamin K levels have been linked to low bone density”
