“The latest hot super fruit that has been found to be beneficial to life and health as we know it are “pomegranates, those awkward little chaps with a brown leathery skin yet inside, packed with little red jewels.
It was these that gave rise to the pomegranates common name, from the French grenade because the seeds looked like the filling of a hand grenade known in Persia since ancient times. Some scholars think that it may have been the pomegranate that Eve ate instead of the apple and it as been revered in many different cultures since then, both as a symbol and as a medicine.” Article.

“Studies support the benefits of eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. This is due to their high antioxidant value. Why are antioxidants so important Because they have a proven track record of fighting free radicals.
Your body is being constantly attacked by very harmful substances known as free radicals or oxygen radicals. Free radicals can destroy your cells, tissues and organs.
Free radicals are highly unstable molecules that are naturally formed inside our bodies by the process of oxidation. They are normal by products of everyday functions like digestion and physical activity. Free radicals also come from outside sources, such as smoking, environmental pollution, and synthetic chemicals that are added to our water and food.” Link.

“There’s nothing wrong with eating a hamburger on occasion. But meatless or “veggie” burgers are a healthful alternative‑-and many taste much better than they used to. Though they vary in what goes into them (soy, wheat gluten, black beans, brown rice, rolled oats, mushrooms, carrots, sunflower seeds, eggs, etc.), most have fewer calories than meat burgers and little or no saturated fat or cholesterol. Many contain soy‑-and soy protein helps lower blood cholesterol. Others contain enough veggies to make a dent in your five-a-day goal. All provide fiber (meat burgers contain none).

“Any kind of exercise will help extend your life, say researchers who used a sophisticated test to arrive at that conclusion.”There are plenty of reports out there saying that self-reported exercise like running or jogging is beneficial,” said lead researcher Todd M. Manini, an exercise physiologist at the U.S. National Institute on Aging. “We wanted to see if just usual daily activity had a protective value.”
