Dear readers,
it's that time of the week- Friday. But not just any Friday; the Friday before my birthday. Not only am I exhausted from a stressful week, but I'm anxiously awaiting a visit from a friend. That being said, I'm not quite sure how much time I will be in my computer next week. Anyway, onto today's post.

Key nutrients such as monounsaturated fats, Omega 3 and six fatty acids, vitamins E., B12 and folate can be found in such a diet. What kind of food has these nutrients, you may ask?
Nuts, olive oil based salad dressings, fish, and dark green and leafy vegetables are just a few items on the list,
