So, what are antioxidants, exactly? They're substances in food which prevent damage to your body's cells and tissues caused by free radicals. It's important to keep free radicals in check, as they may contribute to aging, cancer and chronic diseases such as heart disease and Parkinson's disease.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Certain vitamins, such as A, C, and E have antioxidant properties, as do bioflavonoids – free radical-fighting chemicals naturally present in certain plants. In general, fruits and vegetables are great sources of these substances. There are various methods of calculating the antioxidant value of foods, one of which is the ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) assay, used by the USDA. Health officials currently recommend consuming about 3,000 to 5,000 ORAC units per day.</div><br><div style="text-align: center;"><u>1.

(Note, however, that ORAC value is calculated per 100 grams – please don't try to eat 100 grams of cloves just for the antioxidants!) Other especially antioxidant-rich spices include oregano, rosemary, turmeric, thyme, cinnamon, sage and vanilla.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><a href="http://aibob.blogspot.com/2011/11/best-food-for-antioxidants.html#more">Click to read more »</a>

Baldwin Street - Steepest Street In The World

<div style="text-align: justify;">Baldwin Street in a suburban part of New Zealand's southern city of Dunedin, is considered the world's steepest residential street.

The turnips were then either placed in the windows, to keep evil spirits from entering a home, or carried around as lanterns.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This tradition eventually melded with the North American tradition of carving pumpkins.

Aokigahara Forest - Creepiest Places In Japan

<div style="text-align: justify;">Aokigahara, also known as the Sea of Trees, is a 35 km2 forest that lies at the north west base of Mount Fuji in Japan. The forest contains a number of rocky, icy caverns, a few of which are popular tourist destinations.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The forest, which has a historic association with demons in Japanese mythology, is a popular place for suicides. In 2002, 78 bodies were found despite numerous signs, in Japanese and English, urging people to reconsider their actions. Due to the wind-blocking density of the trees, and an absence of wildlife, the forest is known for being eerily quiet.</div><br><div style="text-align: justify;">The forest is a popular place for suicides, reportedly the world's second most popular suicide location after San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. This popularity is often attributed to the 1960 novel Nami no Tō (literally, Wave of Trees) by Seichō Matsumoto, which ends with two lovers committing suicide in the forest. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">However, the history of suicide in Aokigahara predates the novel's publication. and the place has long been associated with death: ubasute may have been practiced there into the 19th century, and the forest is reputedly haunted by the ghosts of those left to die.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Since the 1950s, more than 500 people have lost their lives in the forest, mostly suicides, with an average of approximately 30 counted yearly. In 2002, 78 bodies were found within the forest, replacing the previous record of 73 in 1998. In 2003, the rate climbed to 100, and in recent years, the local government has stopped publicizing the numbers in an attempt to downplay Aokigahara's association with suicide. In 2004, 108 people killed themselves in the forest. In 2010, 247 people attempted suicide in the forest; 54 of whom were successful.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The high rate of suicide has led officials to place signs in the forest, in Japanese and English, urging those who have gone there in order to commit suicide to seek help and not kill themselves. The annual body search, consisting of a small army of police, volunteers, and attendant journalists, began in 1970.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Photos of the the Aokigahara Forest and special two parts videos at the end of this post.<br><br><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Please be remind.
