Super foods for Children


The diets of children play an integral role in their health and learning ability, in fact, a nutritious and balanced diet is the most important thing to ensure that your child has a head start toward a healthy life. Providing your child with a healthy eating foundation can correct nutritional deficiencies, help to ward off illnesses and set up good eating practices for life.
In providing good nutrition for children, there are a range of foods that can act as super-foods, providing a higher content of vital nutrients, making them ideal for your child's development and growth.
Oily fish is a great super food for children. The brain is made from omega-3 fats - found in high quantities in oily fish - and needs them to be replenished regularly. Fatty acids also play an important role in memory, brain function, and heart health, and have been proven to help children who have behavioural and learning challenges. Good examples of oily fish include mackerel, salmon and tuna.
Fruits and vegetables should form a large proportion of any diet, whether child or adult. Eating a wide variety of different colored fruit and vegetables provides the human body with lots of different beneficial plant compounds that all work together. All fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, and provide a healthy foundation to the diet. Oranges, apples and kiwi fruit are especially high in Vitamin C, helping to ward off colds and are a good source of calcium, essential for healthy bones.
Generally fruit and vegetables that are fresh, in season and preferably organically grown, are higher in nutrients. Also, the darker the colors, for example dark green or deep red, contain more substances that are beneficial for health.
berries, in particular, are a superfruit that provide the highest levels of antioxidants of any food per serving. blueberries, raspberries and strawberries are packed full of antioxidants, as well as Vitamin C and fiber, and protect the cells of the body against damage. Berries can be pureed for babies and cut in half for young children.
Dairy products such as milk, cheese and yoghurt are great sources of calcium and protein, key ingredients for strong bones and teeth, as well as other vitamins and minerals, so are ideal foods for little ones. Yoghurt also contains helpful bacteria that prevent stomach infections and gastrointestinal problems. Buy natural yogurt with live bacteria and no added sugar - you can sweeten it with pureed fruit or honey to make it more appealing.

Richard Ramsey king of Digital Photography - 2

At the first glance you may think that these amazing pictures were made by paint and brush but these are art of Digital Photography and creatures of Richard Ramsey, the king of this art.
Ramsey demonstrates a method he's developed and fine tuned over the years to create a very pleasing effects like pencil sketch,... Like a cooking recipe, digital art methods like this one are subject to interpretation by the chef, who may chose to deviate from the original steps by adding his/her own embellishments, ingrediants and/or spices in order to achieve a unique result.
I prefer his portraits that he made about children and babies. Look at them and enjoy.



Breath test may be able to detect common cancers


An "electronic nose" could be used as a simple breath test to detect lung, breast, bowel and prostate cancers, Israeli scientists said Wednesday.
Using the sensor to pinpoint chemical variations, the team found they could not only distinguish between healthy and malignant breath but also identify the four different common tumor types.
While more work is needed to develop the technology, the early success could lead to the development of a cheap, easy-to-use and portable test to help diagnose cancer earlier.
"If we can confirm these initial results in large-scale studies, this new  technology could become a simple tool for early diagnosis of cancer along with imaging," said Abraham Kuten of Technion Israel Institute of  technology.
Kuten and his colleagues studied the breath of 177 people, some healthy and some with various types of cancer, to detect the different chemicals emitted from the surface of cancer cells as they grow.
