Image
                                          OVERVIEW According to research findings, regularly consuming citrus fruits, like oranges, may benefit your health in a number of ways. 1. Helps promote heart health Heart disease is currently the world’s most common cause of premature death.

3 Health and Nutrition Benefits of Red Leaf Lettuce

Image
                                           1. High in nutrients but low in calories Red leaf lettuce is nutrient-dense, meaning that it’s high in a variety of essential vitamins and minerals, yet very low in calories. Three cups (85 grams) of shredded leaves provide the following nutrients: Calories: 11 Protein: 1 gram Fat: 0.2 grams Fiber: 1 gram Vitamin K: 149% of the Daily Value (DV) Vitamin A: 127% of the DV Magnesium: 3% of the DV Manganese: 9% of the DV Folate: 8% of the DV Iron: 6% of the DV Vitamin C: 5% of the DV Potassium: 5% of the DV Vitamin B6: 4% of the DV Thiamine: 4% of the DV Riboflavin: 4% of the DV Its nutrition profile is similar to other popular leafy vegetables, such as green leaf, romaine, and iceberg lettuce, although there are a few notable differences. For example, when compared to romaine, red leaf lettuce provides more vitamin K, slightly more iron, and slightly fewer calories — while romaine offers more fiber and vitamins A and C. 2.

Why Do Dress Shoes Matter In Men’s Style? | 5 Reasons Quality Shoes Are Important To A Man’s Wardrobe

Image
                                            1. Shoes Indicate Your Status Shoes have always been a significant part of people's status throughout history. They have been known to indicate or represent wealth (or the lack of it) – especially in different forms of media and literature. For instance, we have Hannibal Lecter – who was able to tell that Clarice Starling had come from humble beginnings by just looking at her shoes. And shoes served as status symbols in many cultures – even the oldest ones like ancient Egypt. Slaves would go barefoot while common Egyptian citizens wore sandals made from woven papyrus. It wasn't even a question of how “nice” or comfortable they felt. The fact that someone owned sandals meant they were part of a more respectable social class. 2. Shoes Represent Attention To Detail Many people still agree that you can tell a lot about a guy by the shoes he wears. Which actually makes sense – as there still is an inherent bias that men are less detail-ori

What are the Health Benefits of Tomato Paste?

Image
                                          Basics Tomato paste is produced by simmering fresh tomatoes until they begin to break apart. Then they’re strained to remove the skin and seeds, and cooked for at least several hours, until their moisture evaporates and they become a thick paste. Salt and olive oil are typically added, but some commercial products add other seasonings and sweeteners, such as high fructose corn syrup. One 6-ounce can of tomato paste is enough to make a pot of chili or stew that yields six servings, so that’s 1 ounce per serving. Nutritional values provided are for 1 tablespoon, which is about half that amount. Lycopene Tomatoes are the best natural source of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that belongs to the vitamin A family. It’s often in the news for its potential to prevent prostate cancer, but research has produced mixed results, according to a review in November 2011 in the "Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews." A study published in the Octo

4 Incredible Cashew Nut Benefits: From Heart Health to Gorgeous Hair

Image
                                    Contrary to the popular belief that it can make you gain fat, a considerable amount of cashews in your diet can provide you with many health benefits - 1. Heart Health : The National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in its case study points out that nuts are likely to be beneficial for health, keeping a check on various ailments, such as heart disease. Studies consistently show that nut intake has a cholesterol-lowering effect, in the context of healthy diets, and there is emerging evidence of beneficial effects on oxidative stress, inflammation, and vascular reactivity. Cashews help lower LDL and increase the carrying capacity for HDL. HDL is responsible to absorb the cholesterol from the heart and take it to the liver where it can be broken down.In 2003, the Food and Drug Administration had stated that a fistful of nuts a day as part of a low-fat diet may reduce the risk of heart disease. The heart association recommends four servings o

7 surprising health benefits of curry powder

Image
                                                  What is curry powder? In the UK, when we talk about curry powder, we usually mean a blend of spices from East Indian cuisine. The details may vary but we’re talking turmeric, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, dried chillies, black pepper, fenugreek seeds, curry leaves, mustard seeds, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, peppercorns and bay leaves. 1. Reducing inflammation Turmeric is the key here. This wonder spice has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine to help treat inflammation, pain and rheumatoid arthritis. Scientific studies appear to support the idea that turmeric’s active ingredient curcumin is a powerful antioxidant and lowers levels of two inflammation-causing enzymes. Some experts even suggest its powers rival ibuprofen. 2. Fighting cancer Again, that feisty little curcumin could help to prevent or treat cancers, including prostate, breast, skin and colon cancer. A small study on patients with precancerous changes in di

10 Evidence-Based Health Benefits of Magnesium

                                        1. Magnesium Is Involved in Hundreds of Biochemical Reactions in Your Body Magnesium is a mineral found in the earth, sea, plants, animals and humans. About 60% of the magnesium in your body is found in bone, while the rest is in muscles, soft tissues and fluids, including blood. In fact, every cell in your body contains it and needs it to function. One of magnesium’s main roles is acting as a co factor or helper molecule in the biochemical reactions continuously performed by enzymes. In fact, it’s involved in more than 600 reactions in your body, including: Energy creation: Helps convert food into energy. Protein formation: Helps create new proteins from amino acids. Gene maintenance: Helps create and repair DNA and RNA. Muscle movements: Is part of the contraction and relaxation of muscles. Nervous system regulation: Helps regulate neurotransmitters, which send messages throughout your brain and nervous system. Unfortunately, studies suggest th

BENEFITS OF WHITE RICE

                                             1. It can stabilize your blood sugar levels While you might have heard that white rice has starch and is comparatively high on the glycemic index, the truth is that when accompanied by other foods such as vegetables, it can prevent blood sugar spikes. But if you are diabetic, check with your doctor before including it in your diet. 2. It is gluten-free Rice is a hypoallergenic food and also a blessing for people who are allergic to gluten or have celiac disease. A gluten-free grain, rice can also be easily turned into flour, noodles, and bread for people who opt for gluten-free options. 3.
