walnuts number one for antioxidents

walnuts number one for antioxidentsWell, it's no secret that walnut is one of my top fav wood species for furniture.  More and more, walnuts are being seen in receipes for meals (or wonderful additions to) around the Wade home.  Now, I just came across this info saying that walnuts are the top ranked nut in antioxidents. 

I don't know much about this antioxident thing, but it seems to be becoming commonn knowledge to be amazingly beneficial to health, wellness, and longevity.  And, yesterday, I was scanned to find my antioxident levels.  I was surprised to see that it was 45,000 (or was it 42,000??). 

I love data, and specific numbers to show progress (or loss) in whatever field happens to be of my interest when it's available.  And it's really cool that my morning routine of juicing (fresh carrrot, cellery, apple, blueberries) 32 oz each morning (when I'm in town) seems to be paying off. 

Is it my ego, or my fear of death that seems to be leaning me toward pumping up these numbers?  Don't really know, but seems like a fun project that doesn't seem to have any side effects that I can see.

Here's the article on my favorite wood species, and fast becoming my favorite NUT.

Robin Wade
Robin Wade Furniture is a celebration of nature—a melding of a forward thinking commitment to the environment and a quiet, harmonious design aesthetic. From his "slow studio" in North Alabama, award-winning wood artist Robin Wade designs and crafts one-of-a-kind handmade furniture. Years before a piece is ready to enter a client's home or a gallery, the process begins—naturally—with the tree. Sustainably harvested, each specimen of hardwood is flitch sawn into natural-edge wood slabs, debarked by hand with a draw knife, and stacked to dry, usually for years, before the final cure in the kiln. From here, Wade and his team use both hand and power tools to bring Wade's vision to life, and then finish each piece with a hand-rubbed oil blend. Each organic furniture creation by Robin Wade Furniture balances the raw, natural beauty of environmentally, locally sourced hardwoods with minimally invasive, clean lines—a juxtaposition Wade calls both rustic and modern. “I haven’t yet found a better artist than nature,” he says.
