Benefits of eating cashews.

Cashews are a type of nut that is commonly enjoyed as a snack or used in cooking. Here are some potential benefits of eating cashews:

Nutrient-rich: 

Cashews are a good source of vitamins and minerals, including magnesium, phosphorus, copper, and manganese. They also contain healthy fats, fiber, and protein.

Heart-healthy: 

Cashews are high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are considered heart-healthy fats that may help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.

May help with weight management:

 Despite their high calorie content, research has shown that people who eat nuts regularly tend to have lower body weight and a lower risk of obesity.

May help manage blood sugar levels: 

Cashews have a low glycemic index, which means they can help regulate blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

May improve bone health:

 Cashews are a good source of magnesium, which is essential for strong bones. Eating cashews may help improve bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

May help improve cognitive function: 

Cashews contain a compound called flavonoids, which have been shown to have antioxidant properties and may help protect against age-related cognitive decline.

Overall, incorporating cashews into your diet in moderation can provide a range of potential health benefits. However, it's important to keep in mind that they are high in calories, so it's important to watch your portion sizes to avoid overconsumption.

Celebrating the life and legacy of Harvey Milk

Celebrating the life and legacy of Harvey Milk By Sophia Scherr Today we celebrate and remember the life of San Francisco LGBTQ+ advocate and icon, Harvey Milk. One of our city’s most revered politicians, Milk's legacy as the first openly gay San Francisco supervisor and elected official in California helped in breaking down discriminatory barriers and usher LGBTQ+ politicians in government positions. Milk also advocated for equitable transportation, as he rode Muni exclusively since he did not own a car. He was a firm believer that affordable mobility was important in creating a thriving and livable city. Below is Harvey Milk with Curtis E. Green, General Manager of the Municipal Railway promoting Muni’s “Fast Pass”.

By The Numbers: The SFMTA’s COVID-19 Response By Erica Kato The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about unforeseen c hanges to San Francisco’s transportation network. And the impact of the crisis will continue to be felt city-wide long beyond the end of the public health emergency. On March 13, 2020, when it became clear that San Francisco needed immediate adjustments to the transportation system, Director of Transportation Jeff Tumlin launched SFMTA’s Department Operations Center (DOC) team.

San Francisco's response to the COVID-19 pandemic included implementing temporary emergency transit lanes  Our COVID-19 response has chal...

Slow Streets Program to Help With Social Distancing

Slow Streets Program to Help With Social Distancing By With Muni service temporarily reduced during the COVID-19 health crisis, many San Francisco residents need to walk and take other modes of transportation to make essential trips. However, sometimes it is difficult to maintain 6’ of social distance on many sidewalks, park paths, and bikeways. This can be especially true when passing lines outside grocery stores and other essential services. Because of this, many pedestrians are choosing to walk in the street, exposing themselves to swiftly moving vehicle traffic. The SFMTA is implementing a new program, Slow Streets, to close some streets to through traffic and allow roadways to be used more as a shared space for foot and bicycle traffic. Throughout the city, corridors have been identified for Phase 1 Slow Streets. Beginning this week, some of these streets will be closed to through vehicle traffic to prioritize walking/biking and to provide more space for social distancing duri...
