July 30, 2025 ~ Lucy Ann Lance is joined by Shanthi Appelö, Registered Dietitian, Health and Wellness Spokesperson at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. They discuss a study linking flavonoids to healthy aging. Flavonoids, found in foods like tea, berries, dark chocolate, and leafy greens, are associated with a lower risk of frailty and improved physical and mental health. Shanti recommends incorporating these flavonoid-rich foods gradually into your diet, along with omega-3 sources, and suggests visiting ahealthiermichigan.org for more information and recipes.
