If you’re not familiar with the term functional foods, it means a food having exceptional nutritional benefits beyond that of a normal value. For example, blueberries are said to be high in antioxidants, which makes them extremely beneficial for a variety of health issues.

Another example would be cranberries, which are high in vitamin C fiber and manganese. They also contain active compounds polyphenolic and anthocyanidin, which are natural antioxidants.

Other beneficial foods include grapes, black cherries, kelp, nori and many other sea vegetables. While many are high in antioxidants, others are high in vitamins and minerals, all of which are essential for a healthy body.

If you’re a firm believer in the power of functional foods, you may want to check out the vitamin and mineral supplement, Sea Aloe. SeaAloe contains cranberries, grapes, black cherries, kelp and other seaweed vegetables. Best of all it’s 100% natural. (SeaAloe is the original Seasilver formula.)

Why not say goodbye to unhealthy habits and say hello to a healthy lifestyle? What have you got to lose?

The bathrooms in your home, or place of residence should be clean and immaculate. Unfortunately, most people find it difficult  to maintain such a condition in their WC. The good thing is that you can learn how to maintain your bathroom’s cleanliness and overall appearance by just following a few easy steps.

First, you should make sure all the countertops are free of trash and other debris. All surfaces should also be clean of any other unwanted substances, and this includes the assortment of products you may use on a daily basis for your hair. To accomplish this efficiently, a good start is to find a store-away place for all of your products. You should also obtain a good cleaner that can breakup soap scum and other substances that may have built up over time.

Next, you unfortunately need to clean the toilet. The keys here are to make sure have a proper cleaner on hand to be able to remove that gunk easily with little effort. A good toilet brush is also a good piece of equipment to have on hand as well.

Move on now to the shower, and/ or tub. Depending on your situation, this isn’t too bad of cleanup due to the regularity of its use. It does help to have a non-abrasive kind of scrubbing cloth such as steel wool to clean up those stains and other rough spots.

Now you must clean the floor of you bathroom. A fairly easy task, as long as you have the necessary tools for the job. A good mob with the appropriate floor cleaner should do the trick along with some good elbow grease.

Finally you are on to the mirrors in you bathroom. These shouldn’t take long, and a cleaner such as Windex should be useful along with just a regular paper towel or wash cloth. Don’t scrub too hard as you are cleaning a mirror, and people have been known to injure themselves by knocking it down and then wondering what really happened.

Now you should have a clean bathroom! You should feel comfortable having company over now, and you shouldn’t hesitate to have a party to celebrate.

In season asparagus -high in fiber and folate and low in calories - is perfect in pastas, soups and salads.  I'm a huge fan of asparagus -even my seven year old son likes it and that's no small feat!  After I found out just how healthy it is, I'm even a bigger fan.

Asparagus is the ultimate detox veggie making it a perfect weight loss food.  It's got 3 grams of fiber which cleanses your digestive system, 290 milligrams of potassium per cup and no sodium.  One cup only has 40 calories making it the perfect filling low calorie food.  Asparagus has tons of folate in it which is powerful in reducing inflammation and the risk of heart disease, and in preventing birth defects.  Asparagus is also loaded with vitamin K which helps prevent osteoporosis.

My favorite way to eat asparagus is to slather them in olive oil, sprinkle with salt and roast them on the grill. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon and some red pepper flakes for a tasty treat!  Bon Apetite!
