LAST SUNDAY’S MOTHER’S DAY WAS AN EVENT FULL OF FOOD.  TOO BAD I FORGOT TO SNAP THE REST, BUT HERE’S SOME OF IT.  STEAK SERVED WITH PRAHOK (CAMBODIAN), SOME RIBS, AND OF COURSE, OYSTERS (GROSS, NOT EXACTLY MY CUP OF TEA).

LOL.

Age Erasers

CASHEWS
Talk about a smart snack. Cashews help prevent magnesium deficiencies, which may promote cell aging and age-related disease, say researchers from the University of California at Berkeley. 

CURRY POWDER
Spices can boost brainpower as well as food’s flavor. This Indian blend is rich in turmeric, a spice linked to the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease in a study review published in the Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology. 

MUSTARD GREENS
Save face: These robust greens boast plenty of vitamin C, which supports the collagen in your skin, according to a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. 

CARROTS
Crunch on carrots to protect your eyes. Carrots are rich in lutein, a nutrient that can help prevent age-related macular degeneration, a Chinese study review found.

Muscle Builders

BLACK BEANS
Want to go harder at the gym? Then load up on these legumes, which help prevent a magnesium deficiency that can reduce exercise performance and endurance, a review in Magnesium Research reports. 

BEEF
Sure, beef is a great source of muscle-building protein. But it’s also one of the best sources of carnitine, an amino-acid derivative that helps your mitochondria burn fat for energy. 

CHILIES
Want to reveal those muscles? Then you also need to pare away fat. A Japanese study found that capsaicin, the chemical that gives chilies their spicy heat, helps your body burn more fat as fuel during exercise. 

PLANTAINS
Like bananas, plantains are rich in potassium, a nutrient that helps form glycogen, a source of energy that powers your muscles.

OLIVE OIL
Pour on the olive oil. The FDA says that consuming 2 tablespoons a day, in place of saturated fat, might reduce your risk of heart disease. 

ALMONDS
Pile on the crunch: The monounsaturated fats in nuts may play a role in reducing your risk of death from coronary heart disease, according to a Loma Linda University study review. 

SALMON
Fatty fish species such as salmon are well worth the price: A diet rich in fish oils could protect your ticker by reducing the buildup of fat in your blood. 

FARRO
Chew on this: People who ate a diet rich in whole grains like farro cut their risk of heart disease by about 20 percent compared with those who ate them rarely, according to a review in Nutrition, Metabolism & Cardiovascular Disease. 

CHICKPEAS
Pass the hummus: Chickpeas are a good source of polyphenols, which may slow the buildup of plaque in your arteries and boost your HDL (good) cholesterol.
