Before, the Health Insitute said that we should eat 5 fruits and vegetables a day.Now 7.What you need to remember is that you need fruits and vegetables in your diet. Fruits and Vegetables are all-stars. Not only are they low in calories and high in fiber, they also contain unique phytochemicals, or antioxidants, that boost your health. It’s more than important to eat a wide variety of fruits and vegetables every day to reap the health benefits. That’s because each color contains different sets of phytochemicals that provide different health benefits. These are Super Fruits and Vegetables to Add to Your Diet Super Red: Pink grapefruit, red bell peppers, tomatoes, and watermelonLycopene shows promise in fighting lung and prostate cancers. Lycopene is actually more available after cooking or processing so don’t ignore canned tomato paste! Super Purple: Concord grapes, blueberries and prunesThe anthocyanins that give these fruits their distinctive colors may help ward off heart disease by preventing clot formation. They may also help lower risk of cancer. Super Green: Spinach, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, collard greens and bok choyLutein appears to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke as well as guard against age-related macular degeneration. Dark green leafy vegetables are usually high in folate, a B vitamin that shows promising results in preventing heart diseases. In addition, Sulforaphane, a photochemical present in cruciferous vegetables, was found to detoxify cancer-causing chemicals before they do damage the body. Super Orange: Carrots, mangos, pumpkin and orangesThe beta carotenes in these orange super fruits and vegetables may prevent cancer, particularly of the lung, esophagus and stomach. They may also reduce risk of heart disease and improve immune function.

The Sony Ericsson S500i is a slim, stylish fun phone with lots of exciting features. This time, the S500i handset seems to be intended for fashionistas and is available in 2 colors: "Mysterious Green" and "Spring Yellow". The sliding mechanism is a little bit hard to move at first, but you'll get used to it after 1-2 days of use. The phone is surprisingly light (94 grams including battery) and slim for its size (99 x 47 x 14mm). The keypad is flat and shiny: probably not the best for texting, but pleasing to the eye. There are no external buttons included on the sides of the phone except the volume keys placed on the left side. You can find the universal port used for charger, USB synchronization and headsets on the right side of the phone. Right under the display, there's a big 5-way navigation key which has a yellow backlight that lights every time you slide up the phone. The phone also has a 2 megapixel camera with video recording capabilities. 2 megapixels is now considered average for a phone, and this one is nothing special, lacking autofocus and a flash. Still, it's good enough for snaps and video clips. Even without flash and digital zoom available in camera mode, the pictures are truly amazing for a cheap 2 Megapixel module. Colors are very real and vivid, there's no blur or sharpen pixels. Sony Ericsson S500i features a TFT display that supports 262K colors and 240 x 320 pixels resolution. The themes embedded will simply take your breath away. Other helpful applications that you'll find very easy to use and access include: Organizer, Calendar, Text notes, Stopwatch, Countdown timer, Alarm, Calculator and Code memory. Sony Ericsson S500i lacks the 3G technology, but I don't believe there's any need for that, especially since the phone has a low price. The phone is compatible with Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP and managed to attain a maximum data transfer speed of 58 KB/s. You can synchronize the phone with the PC through theUSB cable, but be careful what kind of connection mode you choose if you want to transfer data from your memory card. Sony Ericsson's S500i features a 930 mAh Li-Polymer battery that is more than enough to serve any heavy user of the phone. The official numbers state an autonomy of 370 hours in standby mode and offers something near 9 hours of talk time. |
