You probably already knew that, but the benefits don’t stop there: they also contain a hefty dose of good-for-you flavonoids, fiber, and potassi…

Dear Barbara, My mom is 83 and has moderate Alzheimer’s . Since May, I have noticed a big change in her behavior. She has really slowed down with everything. She sleeps a lot.
