Ingredients
2 cups full fat cottage cheese
4 large eggs
4 tbsp sweetener erythritol, monk fruit sweetener, honey, maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp cornstarch or coconut flour
1 1/2 cups berries Fresh or frozen berries - blueberries, raspberries, cherries
1 tsp lemon zest optional
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking dish lightly with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
Add the cottage cheese into your blender and blend until smooth, silky, and creamy.
Into the same blender, add eggs, sweetener, vanilla extract, cornstarch (or your keto replacement), and lemon zest, if using. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Takes about 30 seconds!
Prepare the baking dish. Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Initial bake. Pour your creamy batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–15 minutes, just until the edges start setting gently. The center should still be soft and slightly wobbly.
Remove from the oven (carefully!) and sprinkle your berries evenly over the partially-set clafoutis. They'll sink in slightly—that’s perfect!
Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 30–35 minutes, until beautifully golden on top and the center jiggles slightly. The edges will puff gently—this means you're doing it right!
Let your berry clafoutis cool for a few minutes before serving warm, dusted with a little powdered sweetener.

Over 60? Six movements Japanese elderly do everyday + This video was quite fascinating. It's a bit long: I copied each of the (six) exercises for simplicity and have pasted them below.

Here are simple instructions for the six Japanese exercises listed, starting from number six and ending with number one, each with easy-to-follow steps:

6. Sanpo (Slow Walking - Roll Through Whole Foot) Stand up straight and relax the arms at the side. Begin by stepping forward gently, placing the heel of the foot on the ground first.Slowly roll the foot from heel to toe so that the entire sole touches as you shift weight.Push off with your toes to move forward into the next step.Repeat this slow, mindful walking and focus on smooth, gentle foot movement throughout each stride.

5. Rajio Taiso (Radio Calisthenics)Stand upright with feet shoulder-width apart.Perform gentle, rhythmic movements such as arm circles, side stretches, and trunk twists.Each movement should be continuous and follow a light, upbeat rhythm matching basic radio exercise routines.Complete a short routine lasting about 3–5 minutes.

4. Ippon Ashi (Stand on One Leg)Stand up with feet together, arms relaxed by your sides. Slowly shift body weight onto one leg.Lift the other leg off the ground, keeping it slightly bent, and hold balance.Stay balanced on one leg for 10–20 seconds, then switch to the other leg.

3. Shinku Zuwari (Deep Squat Rest)Stand with feet a little wider than shoulder-width.Bend knees deeply to lower yourself into a full squat.Keep heels flat and let the hips drop as low as comfortable.Rest in this position, keeping the chest upright and using hands for balance if needed.

2. Seiza Henka (Floor Sitting Positions)Kneel down on the floor with feet pointing backwards, sitting on the heels (“seiza”).Alternate sitting positions, including cross-legged (“agura”), legs to one side, or with one knee up.Change positions gently every 20–30 seconds to stretch and relax the legs and hips.

1. Tenugui Hibiki (Towel Twist)Hold a small towel (tenugui) with both hands, arms extended in front of the body.Twist the towel by rotating the wrists in opposite directions, creating tension in the fabric.Release the twist, then repeat several times.This helps engage forearm muscles and improves grip strength.Each exercise helps with mobility, balance, and overall well-being when practiced regularly.
