Currant red ribisel
Currants are originally from Western Europe including Germany, France, northern Italy and the Netherlands. In specialty fruit and vegetable stores and at the farmers´ market you will mostly find red, but also pink, white and even black currants. And a currant bush also looks quite beautiful in your garden.
Johannisbeeren sind ursprünglich aus Westeuropa einschließlich Deutschland, Frankreich, Norditalien und den Niederlanden heimisch. In den Obstläden und auf dem Markt findet man am meisten rote, aber auch rosa, weiße und sogar schwarze Johannisbeeren. Ein Johannisbeerstrauch sieht aber auch in Ihrem Garten ziemlich schön aus.
Red currants have a pleasant sour taste, the slightly smaller white currants taste somewhat sweeter than the red ones. All currants are known for their healing properties, because they contain a lot of vitamin B and C, iron, phosphorus and potassium.

Flat bread food
Flatbreads can be rolled out and frozen in a stack. You will need to put a bit of greaseproof paper between each of the breads so they don’t stick. Frozen flatbreads can be cooked from frozen – they will take a few minutes more to cook on a hot frying pan.
These flatbreads are so easy that kids can help mix, knead and roll out the dough if an adult helps with the cooking.

Honey beekeeper bees
Beekeeping (or apiculture) is the maintenance of bee colonies, commonly in man-made beehives. Honey bees in the genus Apis are the most commonly kept species but other honey producing bees such as Melipona stingless bees are also kept. Beekeepers (or apiarists) keep bees to collect honey and other products of the hive: beeswax, propolis, bee pollen, and royal jelly. Other sources of beekeeping income include pollination of crops, raising queens, and production of package bees for sale. Bee hives are kept in an apiary or "bee yard".
The keeping of bees by humans, primarily for honey production, began around 10,000 years ago. A sample of 5,500-year-old honey was unearthed from the grave of a noblewoman during archaeological excavations in 2003 near the town of Borjomi, Georgia. Ceramic jars found in the grave contained several types of honey, including linden and flower honey. Domestication of bees can be seen in Egyptian art from around 4,500 years ago; there is also evidence of beekeeping in ancient China, Greece, and Maya.
In the modern era, beekeeping is often used for crop pollination and the collection of byproducts, such as wax and propolis. The largest beekeeping operations are agricultural businesses but many small beekeeping operations are run as a hobby. As beekeeping technology has advanced, beekeeping has become more accessible, and urban beekeeping was described as a growing trend as of 2016. Some studies have found city-kept bees are healthier than those in rural settings because there are fewer pesticides and greater biodiversity in cities.
Early history
At least 10,000 years ago, humans began to attempt to maintain colonies of wild bees in artificial hives made from hollow logs, wooden boxes, pottery vessels, and woven straw baskets known as skeps. Depictions of humans collecting honey from wild bees date to 10,000 years ago. Beekeeping in pottery vessels began about 9,000 years ago in North Africa. Traces of beeswax have been found in potsherds throughout the Middle East beginning about 7,000 BCE.[6] Domestication of bees is shown in Egyptian art from around 4,500 years ago.[7] Simple hives and smoke were used, and honey was stored in jars, some of which were found in the tombs of pharaohs such as Tutankhamun. In the 18th century, European understanding of the colonies and biology of bees allowed the construction of the movable comb hive so honey could be harvested without destroying the entire colony.
Honeybees were kept in Egypt from antiquity. On the walls of the sun temple of Nyuserre Ini from the Fifth Dynasty before 2,422 BCE, workers are depicted blowing smoke into hives as they remove honeycombs. Inscriptions detailing the production of honey are found on the tomb of Pabasa from the Twenty-sixth Dynasty c. 650 BCE, in which cylindrical hives are depicted along with people pouring honey into jars

Egg bread food
Egg bread refers to any yeasted bread dough that has been enriched with eggs. To make egg bread, bakers mix eggs directly into the flour mixture before kneading and proofing—usually along with fats like butter, oil, or milk—resulting in a soft, pillowy crumb and glossy, thin crust. Additionally, lightly spraying the surface of the loaf with water before the start of the baking process will help it achieve a crispy crust.
Popular types of egg bread include brioche, a buttery French bread, challah, a Kosher yeast bread, and Italian Easter bread, a brioche-style loaf adorned with candies or sprinkles. You can use leftover egg bread to make French toast, bread crumbs, or bread pudding.
I love eating this 'egg bread' on the streets of Seoul. Usually, it is just made up of a pancake-like dough with egg. I have pimped out this version with some bacon, tomato and gooey cheese. I can see why it is such a popular street food, as it is so easy to eat on the go, yet still a completely gratifying breakfast.

If you haven’t read that post just know it all started with Momofuku (David Chang’s restaurant) which was a few blocks from my old apartment in the East Village, NYC. It’s a place we frequented often for its pork buns and other delicious food. Milk Bar is a dessert spin-off from Momofuku and it’s also located in the East Village just a few blocks away.
This dessert destination is a mecca of Willy Wonka’ish desserts developed by the talented pastry chef, Christina Tosi.

Tea drink morning free stock video.
One of the facts of life is that not all of us are born to be a morning person. On most days, most of us spend a good 30-40 minutes struggling to find reasons to get out of our beds. Even when we manage to achieve the impossible and slip out of our blankets, it easily takes us another hour or two to be fully awake & fully functional! But, the start of our day doesn't have to be muzzy; a delightful solution for their everyday dilemma is - Refreshing Morning Teas!
There’s nothing better than floral scents gently waking your senses, inviting you to a flavorful experience. Tea Culture of the World is home to tea blends that perfectly fit into the role of morning teas. The brews revive your senses, prepping you for the day ahead!
Let’s discover the many benefits of morning teas and our premium tea blends that deserve your undivided attention, first thing in the morning-
5 Benefits Of Morning Teas
If you are wondering whether morning tea is good or bad, you’d be delighted to know that sipping on Black or Green tea in the morning works wonders for your wellness! Drinking Black or Green tea on an empty stomach isn’t generally recommended, but making it a part of your breakfast will surely bring you a world of health benefits:
1. Gives An Energy Boost:
Our alarms can only give us a nudge, it's the caffeine content in the morning teas that can truly wake us up! Caffeine leads to an increase in neurotransmitters such as dopamine, the chemical that’s responsible for making us ‘feel good’! So, why tea and not coffee? Because tea can energise you without giving you the jitters that coffee does.
2. Helps Stabilize Free Radicals:
Fun fact - Green and black teas can have up to 10 times more antioxidant content than fruits and vegetables. These antioxidants contribute to stabilizing free radicals that are responsible for causing health problems like - diabetes, atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, cancer and more. One cup every morning can keep you healthy and happy!
3. Aids With Weight Management:
Tea connoisseurs across the world believe in the power of Green tea for weight loss, and rightfully so. Drinking tea with your breakfast can help you feel full so you consume fewer calories. EGCG combined with caffeine, taken 90 minutes before exercise, significantly increases fat oxidation rate during exercise.
4. Keeps You Stress-free:
How many times have you woken up with your worries wearing you down, even before the day has dawned. Morning teas can help give a stress-free start to your day. They contain an amino acid called L-theanine that has a soothing and relaxing effect on the mind. One study found that black tea helped bring down cortisol levels in stressed patients by as much as 47%.
5. Reduces Intestinal Inflammation:
Tea contains tannins - these are known for their anti-inflammatory properties. Brews brimming with tannins can help people diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome, acidity, or other stomach ailments. A warm cup of tea before or after breakfast can help soothe the stomach muscles, preventing cramping, loose stool, or any other type of intestinal distress.
5 Best Morning Teas
1. Happy Immunity:
This one is a fine blend of Green tea with herbs and spices. Every sip of its minty flavour is refreshing, while its potent ingredients strengthen your body’s natural resistance to disease.

Increased Risk of Severe Illness
Increased Risk of Severe Illness
close up of pregnant person belly
If you are pregnant or were recently pregnant, you are more likely to get severely ill from COVID-19 compared to people who are not pregnant. Pregnancy causes changes in the body that could make it easier to get very sick from respiratory viruses like the one that causes COVID-19. These changes in the body can continue after pregnancy.
Severe illness means that a person with COVID-19 may need:
Hospitalization
Admission into an intensive care unit (ICU)
A ventilator or special equipment to help them breathe
People with COVID-19 who become severely ill can die. See why pregnancy is included in the list of underlying medical conditions that increase a person’s risk of severe illness from
Certain factors can increase risk
Other factors can further increase the risk for getting very sick from COVID-19 during or recently after pregnancy, such as:
Having certain underlying medical conditions
Being age 25 years or older
Living or working in a community with high numbers of COVID-19 cases
Living or working in a community with low levels of COVID-19 vaccination
Working in places where it is difficult or not possible to avoid contact with people who might be sick with COVID-19
Being part of some racial and ethnic minority groups, which have been put at increased risk of getting sick from COVID-19 because of the health inequities they face
Effect on Pregnancy Outcomes
People with COVID-19 during pregnancy are more likely to experience complications that can affect their pregnancy and developing baby compared to people without COVID-19 during pregnancy. For example, COVID-19 during pregnancy increases the risk of delivering a preterm (earlier than 37 weeks) or stillborn infant. People with COVID-19 during pregnancy may also be more likely to have other pregnancy complications.
Staying Healthy During and After Your Pregnancy
Keep all of your healthcare appointments during and after pregnancy. Visit with your healthcare provider for all recommended appointments. If you’re concerned about going to your appointments in person because of COVID-19, ask your healthcare professional what steps they are taking to protect patients from COVID-19, or ask about telemedicine options. If you need help finding a healthcare professional, contact your nearest hospital, clinic, community health center, or health department.
Talk to your healthcare professional about how to stay healthy and take care of yourself and the baby.
Ask any questions you have about the best place to deliver your baby. Delivering a baby is always safest under the care of trained healthcare professionals.
You should also talk to your healthcare professional if you think you are experiencing depression during or after pregnancy.
Get recommended vaccines during pregnancy. These vaccines can help protect you and your baby.
Get a flu vaccine every year. Others living in your household should also get vaccinated to protect themselves and you.
Get the Tdap vaccine to protect your baby against whooping cough, which can have similar symptoms to COVID-19. CDC recommends all pregnant people receive a Tdap vaccine during each pregnancy. In addition, everyone who is around the baby should be up to date with their whooping cough vaccine.
Call your healthcare professional if you have any concerns about your pregnancy, if you get sick, or if you think that you may have COVID-19.
Do not delay getting emergency care because of worries about getting COVID-19. Emergency departments have steps in place to protect you from getting COVID-19 if you need medical care.
If you need emergency help, call 911 right away. If someone else is driving you to the emergency department, call the emergency facility while you are on the way. If you must drive yourself, call before you start driving.
Tell them that you are pregnant or were recently pregnant and are having an emergency.
Seek medical care immediately if you experience any urgent maternal warning signs and symptoms (for example, headache that won’t go away, dizziness, fever, severe swelling of hand, face, arm or leg, trouble breathing, chest pain or fast-beating heart, severe nausea and throwing up, or vaginal bleeding or discharge during or after pregnancy). These symptoms could indicate a potentially life-threatening complication.

7 benefits of regular physical activity
You know exercise is good for you, but do you know how good? From boosting your mood to improving your sex life, find out how exercise can improve your life.
By Mayo Clinic Staff
Want to feel better, have more energy and even add years to your life? Just exercise.
The health benefits of regular exercise and physical activity are hard to ignore. Everyone benefits from exercise, no matter their age, sex or physical ability.
Need more convincing to get moving? Check out these seven ways that exercise can lead to a happier, healthier you.
1. Exercise controls weight
Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn.
Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator or rev up your household chores. Consistency is key.
2. Exercise combats health conditions and diseases
Worried about heart disease? Hoping to prevent high blood pressure? No matter what your current weight is, being active boosts high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the "good" cholesterol, and it decreases unhealthy triglycerides. This one-two punch keeps your blood flowing smoothly, which lowers your risk of heart and blood vessel, called cardiovascular, diseases.
Regular exercise helps prevent or manage many health problems and concerns, including:
Stroke.
Metabolic syndrome.
High blood pressure.
Type 2 diabetes.
Depression.
Anxiety.
Many types of cancer.
Arthritis.
Falls.
It also can help improve cognitive function and helps lower the risk of death from all causes.
3. Exercise improves mood
Need an emotional lift? Or need to lower stress after a stressful day? A gym session or brisk walk can help. Physical activity stimulates many brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier, more relaxed and less anxious.
You also may feel better about your appearance and yourself when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem.
4. Exercise boosts energy
Winded by grocery shopping or household chores? Regular physical activity can improve your muscle strength and boost your endurance.
Exercise sends oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and helps your cardiovascular system work more efficiently. And when your heart and lung health improve, you have more energy to tackle daily chores.
5. Exercise promotes better sleep
Struggling to snooze? Regular physical activity can help you fall asleep faster, get better sleep and deepen your sleep. Just don't exercise too close to bedtime, or you may be too energized to go to sleep.
6. Exercise puts the spark back into your sex life
Do you feel too tired or too out of shape to enjoy physical intimacy? Regular physical activity can improve energy levels and give you more confidence about your physical appearance, which may boost your sex life.
But there's even more to it than that. Regular physical activity may enhance arousal for women. And men who exercise regularly are less likely to have problems with erectile dysfunction than are men who don't exercise.
7. Exercise can be fun — and social!
Exercise and physical activity can be fun. They give you a chance to unwind, enjoy the outdoors or simply do activities that make you happy. Physical activity also can help you connect with family or friends in a fun social setting.
So take a dance class, hit the hiking trails or join a soccer team. Find a physical activity you enjoy, and just do it. Bored? Try something new, or do something with friends or family.

What is the brain?
The brain is a complex organ that controls thought, memory, emotion, touch, motor skills, vision, breathing, temperature, hunger and every process that regulates our body. Together, the brain and spinal cord that extends from it make up the central nervous system, or CNS.
What is the brain made of?
Weighing about 3 pounds in the average adult, the brain is about 60% fat. The remaining 40% is a combination of water, protein, carbohydrates and salts. The brain itself is a not a muscle. It contains blood vessels and nerves, including neurons and glial cells.
What is the gray matter and white matter?
Gray and white matter are two different regions of the central nervous system. In the brain, gray matter refers to the darker, outer portion, while white matter describes the lighter, inner section underneath. In the spinal cord, this order is reversed: The white matter is on the outside, and the gray matter sits within.
Gray matter is primarily composed of neuron somas (the round central cell bodies), and white matter is mostly made of axons (the long stems that connects neurons together) wrapped in myelin (a protective coating). The different composition of neuron parts is why the two appear as separate shades on certain scans.
How does the brain work?
The brain sends and receives chemical and electrical signals throughout the body. Different signals control different processes, and your brain interprets each. Some make you feel tired, for example, while others make you feel pain.
Some messages are kept within the brain, while others are relayed through the spine and across the body’s vast network of nerves to distant extremities. To do this, the central nervous system relies on billions of neurons (nerve cells).
Main Parts of the Brain and Their Functions
At a high level, the brain can be divided into the cerebrum, brainstem and cerebellum.
Brain Coverings: Meninges
Three layers of protective covering called meninges surround the brain and the spinal cord.
The outermost layer, the dura mater, is thick and tough. It includes two layers: The periosteal layer of the dura mater lines the inner dome of the skull (cranium) and the meningeal layer is below that. Spaces between the layers allow for the passage of veins and arteries that supply blood flow to the brain.
The arachnoid mater is a thin, weblike layer of connective tissue that does not contain nerves or blood vessels. Below the arachnoid mater is the cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF. This fluid cushions the entire central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and continually circulates around these structures to remove impurities.
The pia mater is a thin membrane that hugs the surface of the brain and follows its contours. The pia mater is rich with veins and arteries.

HEART
What is heart block?
Electrical signals control the beating of your heart. They tell your heart muscle when to contract, a process known as conduction. The normal timing of heartbeats is generated in the upper chamber of the heart (atria) in a structure called the sinus node. When you have heart block, there is interference with the electrical signals that usually move from the atria to the ventricles. These signals tell your heart when to beat. This is known as a conduction disorder. If the electrical signals can’t move from your atria to your ventricles, they can’t tell your ventricles to contract and pump blood correctly.
In most cases of heart block, the signals slow down, but do not completely stop. Heart block is categorized as first-, second-, or third-degree:
First-degree heart block is the least severe. The electrical signals slow down as they move from your atria to your ventricles. First-degree heart block might not require treatment of any kind.
Second-degree heart block means that the electrical signals between your atria and ventricles can intermittently fail to conduct. There are 2 types of second-degree heart block
Mobitz type I: The electrical signals get slower and slower between beats. Eventually your heart skips a beat.
Mobitz type II: The electrical signals sometimes get to the ventricles, and sometimes they do not. There is no progressive slowing of the electrical signal. This type of heart block can often progress to third degree heart block.
Third-degree heart block is the most severe. Electrical signals do not go from your atria to your ventricles at all with this type. There is a complete failure of electrical conduction. This can result in no pulse or a very slow pulse if a back up heart rate is present.
What causes heart block?
If you are born with heart block, you have congenital heart block. Either a condition your mother had during her pregnancy, or heart problems you were born with, cause this condition.
For most, heart block develops as you get older as the wires that connect the top and bottom of the heart can develop fibrosis and eventually fail. Sometimes this may happen due to advancing age. Any process which can damage these heart wires can result in heart block.
Coronary artery disease with and without a heart attack is one of the most common causes of heart block. Cardiomyopathies which are diseases that weaken the heart muscle can also result in wire damage. Any disease that can infiltrate the heart such as sarcoidosis and certain cancers or any disease that results in heart inflammation such as certain autoimmune disease or infections can result in heart block. Electrolyte abnormalities especially high potassium levels can also result in wire failure.
Who is at risk for heart block?
If you are born with heart block, you have congenital heart block. Either a condition your mother had during her pregnancy, or heart problems you were born with, cause this condition. Many instances of heart block occur because of some other condition or event such as:
Older age
Heart attack or coronary artery disease
Cardiomyopathy
Sarcoidosis
Lyme disease
High potassium levels
Severe hyperthyroidism
Certain hereditary neuromuscular diseases
Medicines that slow the heart rate
Post open heart surgery
What are the symptoms of heart block?
Symptoms depend on the type of heart block you have:
First-degree heart block may have no bothersome symptoms.
Second-degree heart block might cause:
Dizziness
Fainting
The feeling that your heart skips beats
Chest pain
Trouble breathing or shortness of breath
Nausea
Fatigue
Third-degree heart block, which can be fatal, might cause
Intense tiredness
Irregular heartbeats
Dizziness
Fainting
Cardiac arrest

How to Know When You Love Someone
The word "love" can have a variety of related but distinct meanings in different contexts. Many other languages use multiple words to express some of the different concepts that in English are denoted as "love"; one example is the plurality of Greek concepts for "love" (agape, eros, philia, storge).[9] Cultural differences in conceptualizing love make it difficult to establish a universal definition.[10]
Although the nature or essence of love is a subject of frequent debate, different aspects of the word can be clarified by determining what is not love (antonyms of "love"). Love, as a general expression of positive sentiment (a stronger form of like), is commonly contrasted with hate (or neutral apathy). As a less sexual and more emotionally intimate form of romantic attachment, love is commonly contrasted with lust. As an interpersonal relationship with romantic overtones, love is sometimes contrasted with friendship, although the word love is often applied to close friendships or platonic love. (Further possible ambiguities come with usages like "girlfriend", "boyfriend" and "just good friends".)
Abstractly discussed, love usually refers to a feeling one person experiences for another person. Love often involves caring for, or identifying with, a person or thing (cf. vulnerability and care theory of love), including oneself (cf. narcissism). In addition to cross-cultural differences in understanding love, ideas about love have also changed greatly over time. Some historians date modern conceptions of romantic love to courtly Europe during or after the Middle Ages, although the prior existence of romantic attachments is attested by ancient love poetry.[11]
The complex and abstract nature[clarification needed] of love often reduces its discourse to a thought-terminating cliché. Several common proverbs regard love, from Virgil's "Love conquers all" to The Beatles' "All You Need Is Love". St. Thomas Aquinas, following Aristotle, defines love as "to will the good of another."[12][13] Bertrand Russell describes love as a condition of[clarification needed] "absolute value," as opposed to relative value.[14] Philosopher Gottfried Leibniz said that love is "to be delighted by the happiness of another."[15] Meher Baba stated that in love there is a "feeling of unity" and an "active appreciation of the intrinsic worth of the object of love."[16] Biologist Jeremy Griffith defines love as "unconditional selflessness".[17]
Is Love Influenced By Biology or Culture?
Some researchers suggest that love is a basic human emotion just like happiness or anger, while others believe that it is a cultural phenomenon that arises partly due to social pressures and expectations.
Research has found that romantic love exists in all cultures, which suggests that love has a strong biological component. It is a part of human nature to seek out and find love. However, culture can significantly affect how individuals think about, experience, and display romantic love
Is Love an Emotion?
Psychologists, sociologists, and researchers disagree somewhat on the characterization of love. Many say it's not an emotion in the way we typically understand them, but an essential physiological drive. Psychologist and biologist Enrique Burunat says, "Love is a physiological motivation such as hunger, thirst, sleep, and sex drive."5 Conversely, the American Psychological Association defines it as "a complex emotion."6
American Psychological Association. APA Dictionary of Psychology.
Still others draw a distinction between primary and secondary emotions and put love in the latter category, maintaining that it derives from a mix of primary emotions.

Animal lover
Other words that can describe those who love animals more than humans include the nouns zoophilist, pet lover, pet person, and friend of animals or friend to animals. Since it's a bit less familiar, let's focus on one particular word: zoophilist.
Americans love their pets deeply, and many consider themselves to be animal lovers. But does getting more upset over animals than humans mean we love them more than people? Is there something wrong with us? In this article, we’ll take an in-depth look why it sometimes feels like we care more our pets more than our next-door neighbors.
Empathy, the ability to understand and share the feelings of others, is a complex emotion for us humans. This is the reason why it is important to understand the definition of empathy, which is “the ability to sense other people's emotions, coupled with the ability to imagine what someone else might be thinking or feeling.” Because of the constant media barrage of violence, death, and despair, we are becoming increasingly desensitized to the suffering of other humans. Social media is also believed to be a large contributor to the growing lack of empathy for others. So why is it so easy to generate empathy for suffering animals?
A recent study by criminologist Jack Levin reveals a possible answer. The study’s participants were asked to respond to a fake news story about a victim who was assaulted with a baseball bat, leaving them unconscious with several broken limbs. While the story was the same, it differed in one crucial detail; the identity of the victim changed. It was either a one-year-old baby, an adult human, a six-year-old dog, or a puppy. Respondents showed the same level of empathy for the baby, the puppy, and the adult dog, but significantly less for the adult human being.
This can also relate to the human-animal bond many of us feel, as they require our attention, help, and concern. The natural affection we feel for animals can be compared to the affection we feel for our children. We impulsively care for them and desire to help them because they are unable to easily help themselves. Our perception of adult humans is that they can easily speak up for their rights or defend themselves from danger.
But there is a basic irony about these feelings; the routine slaughter of animals for food (cattle, chickens, pigs, etc.) doesn't tend to faze most of us nearly as much. There are several psychological explanations as to why that might be.
First, we must account for the influence of pop culture. Take a moment to think about how many pet movies you likely watched as a kid. Many of these media portrayals endow dogs and cats with human qualities. They sometimes talk to each other using verbal words as people would, indulge in dreams for the future, and fall in love just like we do. Popular culture has drilled it into us over generations that our pets are just like humans, and primed many of us to be animal lovers from a young age.

Add a scoop of pesto, kalamata olives, or tapenade for a bold flavor.
Add chicken, shrimp, or bacon bits for some extra protein.
Swap out the feta for other cheeses like cubed mozzarella cheese or cheddar.
Boost the flavor with marinated artichokes, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
Fresh herbs like basil, dill, or parsley add freshness and look pretty as a garnish. Fresh basil is best added before serving but dill or parsley can be added when preparing.

Fruit salad
Fruit salad is a dish consisting of various kinds of fruit, sometimes served in a liquid, either their juices or a syrup. In different forms, fruit salad can be served as an appetizer or a side as a salad. When served as an appetizer, a fruit salad is sometimes known as a fruit cocktail (often connoting a canned product), or fruit cup (when served in a small container).
There are many types of fruit salad, ranging from the basic (no nuts, marshmallows, or dressing) to the moderately sweet (Waldorf salad) to the sweet (ambrosia salad). Another "salad" containing fruit is a jello salad, with its many variations. A fruit cocktail is well-defined in the US to mean a well-distributed mixture of small diced pieces of (from highest percentage to lowest) peaches, pears, pineapple, grapes, and cherry halves. Fruit salad may also be canned (with larger pieces of fruit than a cocktail).
Fruit cocktail is often sold canned and is a staple of cafeterias, but can also be made fresh. The use of the word "cocktail" in the name does not mean that it contains alcohol, but refers to the secondary definition: " an appetizer made by combining pieces of food, such as fruit or seafood".
In the United States, the USDA stipulates that canned "fruit cocktail" must contain a certain percentage distribution of pears, grapes, cherries, peaches, and pineapples to be marketed as fruit cocktail. It must contain fruits in the following range of percentages:[5]
30% to 50% diced peaches, any yellow variety
25% to 45% diced pears, any variety
6% to 16% diced pineapple, any variety
6% to 20% whole grapes, any seedless variety
2% to 6% cherry halves, any light sweet or artificially colored red variety (like maraschino cherries[6])
Both William Vere Cruess of the University of California, Berkeley and Herbert Gray of the Barron-Gray Packing Company of San Jose, California have been credited with the invention of fruit cocktails.[7][8] Barron–Gray was the first company to sell fruit cocktail commercially, beginning in 1930, and California Packing Corporation began selling it under its Del Monte brand a few years later.[9]
Canned fruit cocktails and canned fruit salad are similar, but fruit salad contains larger fruit while fruit cocktail is diced.[10] Commercially, the fruit used was healthy but cosmetically damaged, such as a peach or pear that was bruised on one side.[9] The bruised parts would be cut away and discarded, and the rest would be diced into small pieces
In popular culture
"Fruit Salad" (also known as "Fruit Salad Yummy Yummy") is the name of a song by Australian children's band the Wiggles.
"Fruit-salad" is also a slang term used for medals on a soldier's uniform, e.g. "Look at the fruit-salad on that colonel." The term refers to the bright colors of a high percentage of the ribbons that usually go with medals.[11]
"Fruit salad" is an alternative name for the party game Fruit Basket Turnover.

DNA Relational Identity
What is DNA Test?
DNA Test is based on a highly accurate analysis of the genetic profiles of individuals to conclusively establish or disprove relationship between the tested persons. Deoxyribonucleic Acid is a unique genetic blueprint within each nucleated cell of a person's body which determines the genetic pattern and individual characteristics.
Why is DNA Test Required?
DNA test is required to determine the biological relationship between the applicant and petitioner/blood relative to complete the formalities for immigration.
Types of DNA Sample:
For DNA test usually a small amount of blood or buccal swab is required. For the DNA Test please visit our office with referral sheet from embassies.
What does genetic testing look for?
Genetic testing looks for changes in your genes, chromosomes and proteins. DNA tests can give you lots of information about the genes that make up who you are. They can confirm if you have or don’t have a specific disease. They can determine if you have a higher risk of developing certain conditions. And they can find out if you carry a specific mutated gene that you can pass to your child.
Prenatal testing
Mutations in the genes or chromosomes in your developing baby (fetus) can be detected through a prenatal DNA test while you’re pregnant. Prenatal testing doesn’t test for all possible conditions. But it can determine the chances of your baby being born with certain conditions that we know how to look for. If your baby has an increased risk of having a genetic condition because of the family’s genetic history, your healthcare provider may recommend prenatal testing.
Diagnostic testing
Diagnostic testing can confirm or rule out specific genetic diseases or chromosomal problems. But it doesn’t test for all genetic conditions. Diagnostic genetic testing is often used during pregnancy, but it can be used at any time to confirm a diagnosis if you have symptoms of a certain disease.
Preimplantation testing
Preimplantation testing can find genetic mutations in the embryos that were made using assisted reproductive techniques (ART), like in-vitro fertilization (IVF). A small number of cells are taken from your embryos and tested for certain mutations. Only embryos without these mutations are implanted in your uterus to attempt to start a pregnancy.

Benefits of Physical Activity
Regular physical activity is one of the most important things you can do for your health. Being physically active can improve your brain health, help manage weight, reduce the risk of disease, strengthen bones and muscles, and improve your ability to do everyday activities.
Adults who sit less and do any amount of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity gain some health benefits. Only a few lifestyle choices have as large an impact on your health as physical activity.
Everyone can experience the health benefits of physical activity – age, abilities, ethnicity, shape, or size do not matter.
Weight Management
Both eating patterns and physical activity routines play a critical role in weight management. You gain weight when you consume more calories through eating and drinking than the amount of calories you burn, including those burned during physical activity.
To maintain your weight: Work your way up to 150 minutes a week of moderate physical activity, which could include dancing or yard work. You could achieve the goal of 150 minutes a week with 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week.
People vary greatly in how much physical activity they need for weight management. You may need to be more active than others to reach or maintain a healthy weight.
To lose weight and keep it off: You will need a high amount of physical activity unless you also adjust your eating patterns and reduce the amount of calories you’re eating and drinking. Getting to and staying at a healthy weight requires both regular physical activity and healthy eating.
Infectious Diseases
Physical activity may help reduce the risk of serious outcomes from infectious diseases, including COVID-19, the flu, and pneumonia. For example:
People who do little or no physical activity are more likely to get very sick from COVID-19 than those who are physically active. A CDC systematic review [PDF-931KB] found that physical activity is associated with a decrease in COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths, while inactivity increases that risk.
People who are more active may be less likely to die from flu or pneumonia. A CDC study found that adults who meet the aerobic and muscle-strengthening physical activity guidelines are about half as likely to die from flu and pneumonia as adults who meet neither guideline.
