Food Nutrition Facts - Healthy Living Tips at WomansDay
Every child has heard the healthy-eating mantra "You are what you eat." But there may be a closer resemblance between good-for-you grub and your body than you thought. We found 10 foods that mirror the body parts they provide nutrients for—for example, brain-boosting walnuts actually look like a brain. Coincidence? 1. Slice a carrot in half crosswise and it's easy to see that the veggie resembles an eye—look closely and you'll even notice a pattern of radiating lines that mimic the pupil and iris. 2. The folds and wrinkles of a walnut bring to mind another human organ: the brain. 3. Long, lean stalks of celery look just like bones—and they're good for them, too. 4. The lightbulb shape of an avocado looks like a uterus, and it supports reproductive health as well. 5. Studies have offered evidence that clams, which bear a resemblance to testicles, are actually good for the male sex organs. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

In the beverage category, water and green tea have been especially popular topics, and in the sweetener category, so have blackstrap molasses, honey and maple syrup. Of course, there are many other nutritious foods other than those that we have included on our list that we feel are wonderful, health-promoting foods; if there are other whole foods - such as fruits, vegetables, nuts/seeds, whole grains, etc - that you like, by all means enjoy them. Just because a food is not on our list doesn't mean that we don't think that it can be included in a diet geared towards the Healthiest Way of Eating as long as it is a whole, natural, nutrient-rich food.

10 Reasons to Switch to Linux in 2012
The past year was a tempestuous one in the world of desktop operating systems, it seems fair to say, with big changes occurring in just about all of the major contenders. Most notably, we saw a raft of mobile-inspired features being brought onto the desktop, sometimes to a chilly reception among users. If you're wondering--or perhaps even fearing--what other changes 2012 will bring to your desktop, this may be a good time to take matters into your own hands and choose a system that puts you in control. The system I'm referring to, of course, is Linux. It's probably already on your phone. Here are just a few reasons you should give the free operating system a try on your desktop as well. 1. Detractors like to refer to Linux's diversity as a “fragmentation problem,” but in fact it's one of its greatest strengths. 2. Not only can you choose the particular Linux distribution you use, but one of the hallmarks of Linux is that it's also highly customizable. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
