WALNUTS!
According to a new study, walnuts are the king of nuts for health benefits – and it takes only about seven walnuts a day to enjoy those benefits.
Walnuts are remarkable because they contain high-quality protein, vitamins and minerals, dietary fiber, are gluten-free – and are packed with antioxidants.
These antioxidants protect the body against damaging natural chemicals involved in causing disease.
So instead of taking a daily vitamin for your health, you might want to consider taking a handful of walnuts instead. (UPI)
HAPPIEST STATE EVER!!
For the fourth straight year, Hawaii has been named the best state for residents' overall well-being, according to a Gallup survey. You're probably thinking, "How could it not?! Beautiful beaches, awesome weather – it's like living every day on vacation!" But there's more to the survey than the weather ...
The survey evaluates overall well-being based on everything from physical and emotional health to job satisfaction. Hawaii scored 71.1 out of 100 on the well-being scale. According to the report, “Residents living in Hawaii were most likely to experience daily enjoyment and least likely to have daily worry or stress, which contributed to their high emotional health.” Packing up and moving to Paradise sounds like a pretty good idea!

- Vermont, 68.6
