what is the benifits of CRANBERRIES ??

What are the benefits?:  As many of you will know, cranberries have been used for years as an aid against urinary tract infections. But studies have suggested these berries could also have a wide range of other benefits – from improving our heart health, helping to prevent certain cancers, to boosting our oral health and helping to reduce infections. What helps to make them just so good for us are the polyphenols that are present in those little red berries. Polyphenols have been reported to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, to name just a few. Just be careful where you get your cranberry intake from, as cranberry juice and juice drinks are often full of sugar.

PUMPKIN SEEDS

What are the benefits?:   We all know how nutritious pumpkins are, but there’s even more to be said for the pumpkin seed. It provides great levels of protein, fiber, manganese, magnesium, and phosphorous, and is a rich source of zinc – important for immunity, cell growth and division, as well as sleep, mood, and eye and skin health. It’s not surprising it’s been dubbed a ‘super-seed’. A handful of these little seeds make a great, nutrient-packed snack, or ad d them to your porridge for a tasty nutrient boost.

what is the benefits of chia seeds ??

What are the benefits?:  Seed du jour, the chia seed has seen a steep rise in popularity over the past couple of years – unsurprising, given its high levels of nutrients and low-calorie intake. Loaded with antioxidants, soluble fibre and minerals, chia seeds are also a source of omega-3 – though not as easily used by our bodies as that obtained from fish – and contain more calcium, ounce for ounce, than milk. If you’re after a easy way to add chia seeds into your diet, try out our simple, creamy chia porridge recipe. Sprinkle the seeds on to porridge that has been mixed with low-calorie, but vitamin-rich rice milk, and you’ve got yourself a healthy, creamy, nutrient-packed breakfast. If you’re not a fan of rice milk, then almond milk or soy milk could work just as well

The birth of the web

Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist at CERN, invented the World Wide Web (WWW) in 1989. The web was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automatic information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world. The first website at CERN - and in the world - was dedicated to the World Wide Web project itself and was hosted on Berners-Lee's NeXT computer. The website described the basic features of the web; how to access other people's documents and how to set up your own server. The NeXT machine - the original web server - is still at CERN. As part of the project to restore the first website, in 2013 CERN reinstated the world's first website to its original address. On 30 April 1993 CERN put the World Wide Web software in the public domain. CERN made the next release available with an open licence, as a more sure way to maximise its dissemination. Through these actions, making the software required to run a web server fre
