    Singles & Dating - 5 hours ago

    Additional Details

    My boyfriend and I are both 21, and have been dating for 3 years. Recently, he has smelling really badly whenever I am around him. I ask him if he showers, brushes his teeth, etc..because I cannot for the life of me understand what is making him smell so bad. Recently, I was at his house, and I saw that he throws his laundry all over the place, doesn't wash his bed sheets, his house smelled musky and moldy, like he had mold. He told me" I shower twice a day, and wash my hair one of those times each day". Well, the smell isn't his hair, trust me. And sometimes he has even told me he forgets to brush his teeth for a couple of days! He is 21, he should not be acting like a 5 year old! And plus, he is over weight, and that being said, sweats more and seems to stink more. I ask him politely to put on more deodarant or shower again, and he says " I already put it on once today, and that's it im going to put it on". I don't know what to do with him. I love him, but it's never been as bad as this. I don't want to have a boyfriend that I have to go over and clean and wash his clothes, his bedsheets, remind him to wash right, or brush his teeth! I have tried sitting down talking to him, but he seems to just not care!! Should I just take this as a bad sign and just leave him??
  • How can I convince my fiance to do a test drive?

    Other - Family & Relationships - 6 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I'm a Christian and I believe in sex and cohabitation before marriage. My fiance wants to wait till marriage to have sex, but I want to test drive before we get married. He must understand that times have changed and most women would never marry a virgin. If he won't change, I'll find another man who has a higher sex drive.

  • Why does my wife act like she loves me more when I'm a jerk?

    Marriage & Divorce - 6 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I used to be caring, loving and romantic, and my wife treated me like crap. Now I'm cold, arrogant and distant and she tries to be all lovey dovey to me. She even mentioned missing the old me and I told her, "But its clear to me that you prefer the way I am now, because if you really liked how I was you would of been nicer to me back then." So what's up with this? I was a nice guy and she cheated on me and now I'm a jerk and she loves me more, but wants me to be a nice guy again? Can someone explain this to me?

  • Just being friendly or more??

    Singles & Dating - 6 hours ago

    Additional Details

    A guy in my college course would stare at me a lot. I started talking to him little bit by bit (im pretty shy tho, so can't do anything too obivous). He responded nicely, then all of a sudden he seemed to ignore me one day. Next day he keeps looking at me again, esp. when I laugh, which I do a lot in class haha. Anyway, how do I get to know him better. He's a Christian Conservative and so am I, which is hard to find on my campus.

Sneaky ways to eat smarter

Posted Fri, Oct 26, 2007
POST A COMMENT »
Did your mom ever slip grated carrots into the spaghetti sauce? It was a total win-win. She knew you were eating your vegetables. You didn't. Now food manufacturers are being just as sneaky -- packing loads of extra nutrients into old faves like yogurt and even new ones like taco chips. What's next? Healthy Twinkies?

Good Things Come in Omega-3s
Omega-3 fatty acids keep your heart, brain, and eyes healthy, unkink your joints, help fight some cancers, relieve depression, calm monthly cramps, and glam up your skin and hair. No wonder these wonder fats are turning up everywhere from OJ to chips. Best natural sources are fatty fish, flax, and walnuts, but for a change of pace try these value-added foods:

  • Salba Organic Tortilla Chips pack 400 mg of omega-3s into just 12 chips -- the next best thing to salmon tacos.
  • Tropicana Healthy Heart and Omega-3 Orange Juice isn't fishy-tasting even though it gives you 50 mg of anchovy-based omega-3s per serving.
  • Kashi GoLean Crunch Honey Almond Flax cereal (try saying that fast three times) has a whopping 500 mg omega-3s (and just 200 calories) per cup.
  • Iam's Smart Puppy kibble includes omega-3s for your new best friend.

Probi-what?
Probiotics are friendly bacteria that are thought to boost immunity, help ward off stomach woes caused by antibiotics, sooth irritable bowels, and maybe fight flab. Most yogurt contains some probiotics, but not always enough of the right kind. These do, and if you don't like yogurt, the nutrition sneaks have been there too.

  • Stonyfield Farms churns out yogurt supercharged with six different healthy bacteria, proving you can't get too much of a good thing.
  • Dannon features specialized designer bacteria meant to keep you, uh, regular in its Activia brand.
  • Attune's wellness bar, which claims to have five times more friendly bacteria than yogurt does, is good for the dairy-averse. Comes in Chocolate Crisp too, and only has 100 calories.

Antioxidants: The anti-additive
Fruits, vegetables and, happily, chocolate are naturally rich in free-radical-destroying antioxidants. Now, thanks to the wonders of science, so are lots of other foods. Here's a look at some of them:

  • Kellogg's Smart Start Antioxidants Cereal boasts tried-and-true antioxidants like vitamins A, C, E and zinc.
  • Glaceau Vitamin Water XXX sounds sexed up but it's actually a wholesome blend of H20 and three super antioxidants -- hence the 3 Xs-from acai, blueberry, and pomegranate. 
  • Whole-wheat pizza dough could soon be an even healthier crust, as food scientist have just figured out how to bring out its natural antioxidants.
