"1. Spinach

Leafy green vegetables are chock full of nutrients that help knock out Father Time. Spinach is packed with vitamins K, A, and C; iron; folate; manganese; and magnesium. It helps ward off heart disease, colon cancer, osteoporosis, and arthritis, and it may also help improve your eyesight and brain function.

2. Orange Fruits and Vegetables

Like green veggies, orange-colored foods, namely, carrots, sweet potatoes, mangos, and certain melons, can help you maintain good vision and smooth, glowing skin. They’re rich in beta carotene, which is essential for our bodies’ production of vitamin A.

3. Tofu

This versatile soy food has been called the “elixir of longevity,” because many Japanese people rely on its nutrients for a long life. Tofu is a protein powerhouse that contains lots of manganese, iron, selenium, and other necessary nutrients, and it is virtually free of saturated fat and is low in calories.

4. Blueberries

This tiny berry is big on antioxidants, which help prevent all sorts of ailments, from cataracts, glaucoma, varicose veins, and hemorrhoids to peptic ulcers, heart disease, and cancer. Research shows that blueberries may lower your risk of age-related macular degeneration and Alzheimer’s disease.

5. Avocado

High in monounsaturated fats, which keep your skin and hair looking healthy and help reduce your risk of heart disease, avocados are also a great source of potassium, vitamin K, vitamin E, and folate. Guacamole, anyone?

6. Tomatoes

Not only do tomatoes contain vitamin A, vitamin C, and fiber, they’re also renowned for the antioxidant lycopene. Studies show that lycopene may help stop certain cancers, including prostate cancer.

7. Garlic
Because garlic acts as an anti-coagulant in the blood, it reduces our risk of strokes. It’s also known to destroy cancerous cells in cancer patients.

8. Walnuts

Not only are these tasty nuts high in protein, iron, and zinc, they’re also a healthy source of essential omega-3 fatty acids. You’d have to be nuts not to eat them!"

"1. Non-violent resistance is not for cowards. It is not a quiet, passive acceptance of evil. One is passive and non-violent physically, but very active spiritually, always seeking ways to persuade the opponent of advantages to the way of love, cooperation, and peace.

2. The goal is not to defeat or humiliate the opponent but rather to win him or her over to understanding new ways to create cooperation and community.

3. The non-violent resister attacks the forces of evil, not the people who are engaged in injustice. As King said in Montgomery, “We are out to defeat injustice and not white persons who may be unjust.”

4. The non-violent resister accepts suffering without retaliating; accepts violence, but never commits it. Gandhi said, “Rivers of blood may have to flow before we gain our freedom, but it must be our blood.” Gandhi and King both understood that suffering by activists had the mysterious power of converting opponents who would otherwise refuse to listen.

5. In non-violent resistance, one learns to avoid physical violence toward others and also learns to love the opponents with “agape” or unconditional love–which is love given not for what one will receive in return, but for the sake of love alone. It is God flowing through the human heart. Agape is ahimsa. “Along the way of life, someone must have sense enough and morality enough to cut off the chain of hate,” said King.

6. Non-violent resistance is based on the belief that the universe is just. There is God or a creative force that is moving us toward universal love and wholeness continually. Therefore, all our work for justice will bear fruit - the fruit of love, peace, and justice for all beings everywhere.'"
