Reasons Why You Should Always Be Putting an Egg On Your Salad Vitamin E has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that help keep our immune and circulatory systems running smoothly—but, unfortunately, 90 percent of Americans don’t get the recommended 15 milligrams a day. Now, a new study suggests a tasty way to get more E into your day: The next time you enjoy a colorful salad, put an egg on it. A few eggs, that is: Purdue University researchers found that when study volunteers ate salads with three cooked eggs, they absorbed 4.5 to 7.5 times more Vitamin E from the accompanying vegetables than when they ate egg-free greens. Vitamin E is fat-soluble, which means it is absorbed by the body along with dietary fats, like oils, seeds, and nuts. It’s present in vegetables, but the body can’t absorb it well—or put it to good use—if those veggies are eaten alone. A little olive oil or an oil-based salad dressing can helpboost antioxidant absorption from vegetables, previous...

See How You Reduce Your Fatness Through Exercises   Bye-bye muffin top When most people think "abs," they think the muffin top that blooms over the top of too-tight pants.

See How You Can Style Your Brows With A Bar Of Soap Once, when I was in high school, I got to do the makeup for a car-accident demonstration thing that was surprisingly gory and fun. I watched some grainy how-to videos of special-effects makeup, and I was hooked. Although I don't play around with makeup in that same way (zero fake blood in my everyday makeup routine, sigh) I still love watching special-FX makeup artists on YouTube transform themselves or others. Any of these videos that need to move or drastically change the brows usually did so with some sort of brow cover-up that included a glue stick or spirit gum or wax, all of which sounded like really fun ways to lose half your eyebrow hairs when trying to take it all off. But I came across a few that used soap to replace glue, which would make clean-up a million times easier because your cleanser is right there on your face, waiting for you. But that trick didn't have any real-life application for me. Then I sa...

Guys See Why Women Prefer Bearded Men Over Clean-Shaven Ones Guys See Why Women Prefer Bearded Men Over Clean-Shaven Ones A research has suggested that facial hair is a plus point that most women look out for in romantic interests, adding that most ladies consider bearded men more suitable for long-term relationships than the clean-shaven ones. The research, which was carried out by researchers from the University of Queensland and titled The Masculinity Paradox, quizzed 8,520 women to rate men, with and without facial hair, on the basis of ‘relationship longevity’. Of the 8,520 women quizzed on their preferences, every one of them preferred their men unshaven. “Male-typical facial features such as a pronounced brow ridge and a more robust jawline may signal underlying health, whereas beards may signal men’s age and masculine social dominance,” the study read. “However, masculine faces are judged as more attractive for short-term relationships over less mascu...
