1)Can some foods make you smarter? Research shows that nuts and seeds just might boost your brainpower and balance your moods. That's right, everything from the most common nuts -- such as walnuts, hazelnuts, cashews and almonds -- to the more exotic seeds and nuts can clear up that "brain fog" and enable you to think clearer and be happier than you ever imagined.

2)Eating fresh apples is always good for you, but to get the full nutritional benefits associated with eating apples you should eat at least one fresh apple every day. Researchers are discovering new reasons to eat "An Apple a Day." Phytochemicals found in Apples may fight some types of cancers, help reduce cholesterol damage and promote healthy lungs. There is a very old saying:

'To eat an apple going to bed

Will make the doctor beg his bread.'

Variety is the spice of life: It's a tired cliché, but one that takes on new meaning when applied to the foods you eat. Many people associate healthy eating with proscriptive diets, the kind that tell you exactly what you can and cannot eat. The list of "good" foods is usually so limited that you're bound to raid the "bad" list sooner or later.
