Max's Healthy Tip of the Week:

Studies have found that the more nuts people consume, the lower their death rates from all causes and especially from heart disease and stroke.  Nuts contain those very beneficial Omega 3 fats which we all need.  

Enjoy a small handful every day of the eight healthiest for your system - walnuts, almonds, cashews, pecans, hazelnuts, pistachios, macadamia nuts, and Brazil nuts.
  
Let's all go nuts for nuts!

EXPERT FINANCIAL ADVICE FROM MARC WEISS 
Retirement Plan Still Working Exception

What is the still working exception?

If you have a qualified employer retirement plan, you generally need to start taking your required minimum distributions (RMDs) no later than April 1st of the year following the year you turn 70?. This is your required beginning date or RBD. Certain employer retirement plans, however, may have a "still working exception" for their employees who reach 70? but are still actively working for that employer.

DON'T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE FOR DINNER?

HAVING FRIENDS OVER FOR LUNCH - WHAT TO MAKE?

TIRED OF THE SAME OLD SAME OLD?  

Well, help is on the way. Our friend Susie Jacobson, a health and nutrition expert, has graciously offered to share her simple, easy to make, very healthy recipes with us.

 

Today we present "Curried Lentils ". This great-tasting meat-free dish tastes even better the second day! Kale is an unusual ingredient in this type of recipe, but not only does it add extra flavor, it also provides extra health benefits. . And we hope you will enjoy it..... hopefully with family or friends!

VERDIGRIS

 

Margaret Fielding's entire

adult life has been spent in

a wheelchair. She can

barely move a muscle.

But that doesn't stop her

from throwing the lives

of a half-dozen people

into the air and twirling

them like saucers in a

circus act. "Verdigris"

can be defined as corrosion.

But it also glows in beauty.
