We know about coffee, but what other foods can give you that natural
pick-me-up? Experts say the sugar in apples, the spice of hot sauce and
herbs like rosemary and peppermint offer a natural boost. On the other

cherries, dark chocolate or red wine. Source Link
Dogs
and cats are tipping the scales much like their owners. A new report
says one out of three pets are overweight, often because owners don’t
know the right amount to feed them or forget that even small treats can
be big calories for a dog or cat. Like with people, those extra pounds
can raise the risk of heart disease, diabetes and arthritis for your
pet. Source Link
Putting
the ringer on silent may not be enough to keep your cellphone from
distracting you. A study found that people performed worse on tests when
a silent cellphone was in view. Researchers say it’s best to stash that
phone away because out of sight is out of mind and you won’t waste
brain power thinking about your phone. Source Link
