Healthiest Foods on Earth

1. Berries

All berries are low in sugar and high in fiber. Blueberries have been shown to increase memory in lab
studies, and raspberries and strawberries are loaded with ellagic acid, a powerful antioxidant that seems to have some anti-cancer properties, according to the American Cancer Society.







2. Beans

Beans are extremely high in fiber, which helps to control weight, prevent or manage diabetes and
blood sugar, and may help prevent colon cancer and protect against heart disease. The National Institute of Medicine recommends 25-38 grams of fiber a day. The average American gets only 4-11 grams. One cup of beans provides 11-17 grams.






3. Nuts

Some of the largest and most important long-term studies of diet and health have shown that eating nuts several times a week is consistent with a risk of heart attack and heart disease that is 30%-50% lower than the general population. Just one ounce of nuts-almonds, macadamia, Brazil , walnuts, pecans-eaten three to five times a week seems to be the magic number.

4. Wild Salmon
Fish is the ultimate anti-aging food. Cold-water fatty fish like wild salmon, sardines, mackerel and herring contain omega-3 fats that protect the brain and the heart, improve mood, and lower blood pressure and triglycerides.

5. Raw Milk

Raw, organic milk nearly always comes from grass-fed cows and contains high levels of cancer-fighting CLA (conjugated linolenic acid) as well as a rich assortment of vitamins, minerals and beneficial bacteria (like Lactobacillus acidophilus)











6. Grass-Fed

Meat Meat from grass-fed cows has a much different fat profile than ordinary supermarket meat: high in omega-3s, lower in potentially harmful omega-6s and loaded with CLA, a kind of fat known for its anti-cancer activity. A superb source of protein and vitamin B12, it's also missing the antibiotics, steroids and hormones found in the meat that comes from feedlot farms.





7. Eggs

Considered by many to be nature's most perfect food, the egg is high in protein and relatively low in calories. The yolk contains choline, one of the most important nutrients for the brain, as well as lutein and xeazanthin, two critical nutrients for eye health. Brassica Vegetables Cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli and kale all contain plant compounds called indoles that help reduce the risk of cancer. In addition to a stunning range of vitamins and minerals, they also contain sulforaphane, an important plant chemical that helps the body detoxify health-damaging chemicals.

8. Apples

Not only do they keep the doctor away, they also appear to do the same for lung cancer, diabetes and asthma. An apple contains five grams of fiber and a rich blend of nutrients including the bone-building vitamin K and the anti-inflammatory nutrient quercetin. And there's no better way to control your appetite than an apple eaten about half an hour before a big meal.




9. Onions and Garlic

In an impressive number of published studies, the consumption of onions and garlic has demonstrated protective effects against stomach, prostate and esophageal cancer. Along with broccoli, tea and apples, onions and garlic are among a select group of foods found to reduce mortality from heart disease by 20%.





10. Pomegranate Juice

Called "a natural Viagra" by researchers at Tel Aviv University , pomegranate juice is loaded with antioxidants. Studies show it can reduce blood pressure and plaque in the arteries. New research indicates it also slows the progression of tumors.. Four to eight ounces a day is highly recommended.





11. Green Tea

Though all teas are great for you, green tea has a unique profile of plant chemicals that have

anti-cancer activity. It's now fairly established that green tea may help prevent the following types of cancers in humans: bladder, colon, esophagus, pancreas, rectum and stomach. If that's not enough, it also appears to help with weight control.

Brain Damaging Habits

1. No Breakfast:

People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

2. Overeating:

It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking:

It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar consumption:

Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

5. Air Pollution:

The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our 20 body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.

6. Sleep Deprivation:

Sleep allows our brain to rest.. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.

7. Head covered while sleeping:

Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.

8. Working your brain during illness:

Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts:

Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.

10. Talking Rarely:

Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain


Snooze Cube Dubai Airport

Dubai International Airport has become the first airport in the region to introduce modular sleeping pods that offer travellers comfort, privacy, entertainment and connectivity at the world’s 4th busiest airport for international passenger traffic.

The sleep boxes at Dubai Airport called SnoozeCube contains a full-sized bed, a touch-screen television offering a selection of entertainment and music, as well as high speed internet access. Most importantly, the snooze cube units are connected to Dubai airport’s flight information system to ensure that during rest and relaxation, passengers do not miss their flights. As many as 10 of the sound-proofed units have been installed adjacent to Gate 122 at Dubai Airport’s Terminal 1 and are already proving to be a major attraction.

Commenting on the launch of SnoozeCube at Dubai International, Eugene Barry, Vice President of Commercial at Dubai Airports said,
“We are always looking at ways to enhance the level of comfort and indeed the overall customer experience at Dubai International. The SnoozeCube is certain to have a positive effect on both.”
The creator of the SnoozeCube, Larry Swann said that Dubai Airports’ desire to be the first airport to install the system was a reflection of the emirate’s vision to continually enhance the travellers’ experience, particularly at its points of entry and departure.
“Adopting innovative ideas has helped keep Dubai at the forefront of the travel and tourism industries,” said Swann. “And the SnoozeCube is the perfect fit. Having researched airports around the world I realised that the travel experience can be enhanced by providing passengers a place to rest that is convenient, affordable, comfortable and safe.”
During the pilot phase, the SnoozeCube at Dubai Airport has been an instant hit with passengers at Dubai Airport particularly among transfer/transit passengers with shorter layover times. It can be used on an hourly basis with rates starting from AED 65 (approx. US$ 17.80) per hour for the first 4 hours.

Designed and built in New Zealand, the launch of the Dubai Airport SnoozeCube is a further endorsement of the country’s reputation for creating high quality, innovative products, according to Dubai-based Steve Jones, New Zealand Trade Commissioner for Middle East, Africa and Pakistan who said..
“Given our country’s strong culture of innovation, resourcefulness and creativity in business it’s not surprising the SnoozeCube has been created by a New Zealander. We are confident SnoozeCube will become a familiar name for the millions of passengers travelling to Dubai and in other airports around the world in the months and years to come,” he said.

3 Ways Successful Women Fail with Men

Are you a woman with a lot going for her in all areas... except in love and relationships? Do men stop calling or withdraw after a few dates or tell you they're not interested or don't feel the right chemistry with you? Your intelligence and ambition may have gotten you where you are in your life and career, so why aren't those qualities attractive to a man, too?

The truth is that success and independence are actually attractive qualities to a man. Men are not intimidated by smart women. They can, however, be intimidated and turned off by the way you're relating to him.

What Your Bra Says About You

What Your Bra Says About You
Every girl remembers her first bra. And no, we're not talking about the super lame training bra your mom got you when you were 10.

What was the first real bra you bought? The one you walked into the store and picked out all on your own? Was it cute and lacy (complete with bows)? Or was a padded, push-up bra more your style?

We swear we're not asking for pervy reasons. (Stay with us.) You might not have known it at the time, but the bra style you chose had a lot to do with your personality. You and "the girls"

unconsciously bought a style that revealed a ton of info about your habits, what kind of friend you are, even who you like to date.

According to Victoria's Secret bra specialist Jessica Santos, that bra you bought years ago still says a lot about the kind of woman you are now. And just for the sake of hilarity, we asked Ky Henderson, Editor-in-Chief of ModernMan.com what he thought about each. (Of course, boys will be boys, so feel free to take it with a grain of salt.)

Spoiler alert: you will be shocked.

What Your Skin Says About Your Health

What Your Nails Say About You

Long, short, round or square -- now you'll finally know what kind of impression your nails are giving off.

Long nails

Women with long nails are very feminine with a strong aesthetic sense (simply put: you like to look pretty). "This type of woman probably has low activity when it comes to hobbies but loves to have fun," Valinoti says. So we're guessing that you probably gravitate toward professions that do not require much physical work.

If you have long, oval-shaped nails, try painting them in bright colors to give off the "flirty and girly" vibe like Rihanna does. Or if your nails are long and a bit more dramatic in shape, you probably give off an "avant garde" vibe since people see you as a "tough trend setter," Valinoti says.  read more...

What Your Lips Say About Your Personality

If Your Lips Are Like Jen's...

For Zen types like Aniston, earthy colors are best; first, line edges with a clear liner to define subtly.
