Don't Chill That Melon!

Watermelons stored at room temperature have much higher levels of antioxidants (beta-carotene and lycopene) than those kept in the fridge. They even outscored freshly picked melons. If you like, you can cool watermelon for a few hours before eating; once cut, it must be refrigerated.

So what are you waiting for? slice that melon and eat it fresh!

Anti-aging Tips for you

I just like to share to you of what I’ve read in the broadsheet lately. We always wanted to look and feel young to remain attractive and beautiful. Here are some basic facts how to prevent aging.

Exercise delays aging, especially the onset of osteoporosis and arthritis.

Staying out of the sun prevents wrinkles, so stay out of it if you don’t want to age fast.

Relaxation and meditation are stress busters and can prevent disease.

Do some crossword solving and regular reading can delay or prevent memory loss, so keep on reading my blog.

Persons who are active, outgoing and pressure driven individuals age faster than those who are calmer.

Don’t eat compulsively and obsessively to avoid diseases such as diabetes, obesity and heart attacks.

Eat lots of nuts. Nuts are rich in antioxidants. Or Go Fruity. Nutrient packed fruits give your body power.

Load up on spinach and strawberries. Their high levels of antioxidants can boost your brain.

And finally, Add more tomatoes to your meal. Lycopene in tomatoes strengthens your immune system and makes your skin glow. There was a saying that “ A tomato a day keeps the doctor away, a carrot a day keeps the wrinkle away .”
