An apple a day may add days to your life
Want to live longer? You might want to stock on Apples from now on.
According to a study done by scientists from the Chinese University of Hong Kong found that eating an apple a day may increase an individual’s lifespan by up to 10 percent.
The researchers studied fruit flies, which share a lot of genes with humans, and gave them apple extract for the duration of the study.
According to the study, the fruit flies given apple extract lived 10 percent longer than those which were not. The scientists say that antioxidants, called polyphenols, found in apples may be the cause of the observations.
The study also found that the flies fed with apple extract had an easier time walking, climbing and generally moving as they became more mature.
Chemicals related to age and deterioration were also reduced in the flies fed with apple extract. It might prove beneficial to those who have Alzheimer’s disease and may also help stop the development of colon cancer.

Luxury Bridal Dresses In Red
Have you ever thought about wearing a red wedding gown on your wedding day? Once upon a time that would have been unthinkable, but times are changing. Red wedding gowns became popular on the runways about 10 years ago, and they are still hot for that bride who wants to make a truly unique statement on her wedding day. Many wedding dresses in China, India, Africa and Vietnam are traditionally red. In fact there are many weddings today in the western world where the bride will change into 2 or 3 or more gowns throughout the day.
In modern Chinese weddings, the bride usually wears the white Western dress and then changes from a white gown to a red gown or a gold gown for the reception.
South Indian weddings, the bride traditionally uses white saris. Indian brides in Western countries often wear the sari at the wedding ceremony and change into traditional Indian wear afterwards.
In Japan, brides will often wear three or more dresses throughout the ceremony, and then with additional celebrations they choose the traditional kimono, white and colour dresses are often choosen.
Not only is it hot, but you will never be forgotten!
