Take Walnuts for instance. For people who are growing old and have their energies sapping and bones becoming brittle, here is a wonder food God has created for such people - and of course for me too, touching 60 already.

In fact of all the dry fruits, Walnuts top the list for its richness in Omega-3 fatty acids. And we all know that Omega-3 is extremely essential for us to brave effects of aging and remain health and well as we grow in age.
