We talk about "superfoods" a lot here at Shine, but sometimes our diets aren't really our own. What about the young mouths we're feeding? What nutritious and delicious foods best nourish our young'uns?

We list some of the super foods that we feel will help your kids.

Other superfoods that made the list: fruits, nuts, milk, tofu, tomatoes, cabbage, salmon, basil and cinnamon.

What superfoods do your kids love?

Be a wholly healthy familySometimes the logic just shines through.
A recent study examining childhood obesity determined that the number one predictor of success for helping children lose weight was if the parents lost weight.
The logical part is that sustained weight loss involves a total and permanent shift in lifestyle. It requires a support structure and living in an environment that encourages both activity and healthy eating.
And it's mostly about the eating.

Does hating your job increase your risk of excessive sugary carb consumption, a.k.a. death by Timbit? It seems so, particularly among women.
According to the results of a small Finnish study, women who reported feeling burned out at work often compensated for that emotional fatigue by overdoing it at breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, drew on a clinical trial that saw more than 225 women between the ages of 30 to 55 offer their personal experiences related to job stress and eating habits with researchers. Of the women who participated, roughly one quarter reported some aspect of career-related fatigue. These weary women also showed a greater tendency to engage in both emotional eating and uncontrolled or binge eating.
Overeating is not suggested



















The study's lead author Nina Nevanpera, of the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, stated: "Those experiencing burnout may be more vulnerable to emotional eating and uncontrolled eating and have a

The cameras are rolling as 18-year-old AnnaSophia Robb takes on the role as a young Carrie Bradshaw in the new television series The Carrie Diaries. Spotted in full hair and make-up, Robb hits the streets of New York City with signature Carrie curls, an '80s-style ensemble and a bold carry-all emblazoned with the character's name (reminiscent of Bradshaw's gold nameplate necklace).

With the ball rolling, die-hard Sex and The City fans are eager to see if Robb will be able to fill Sarah Jessica Parker's big shoes. But not to worry, the style star has already given Robb her stamp of approval in a personal letter handed to her on her first say on-set.

14 mistakes to avoid during Yoga.

1. You Ignore Your Body
Concerns over yoga and injury have been in the media lately. Fortunately, there are ways to practice the healing discipline of yoga in ways that minimize the potential for injury. The first mistake to avoid: ignoring your body. It seems obvious, right? But it's easy to be out of touch with your body and not really listening to subtle signals. That makes it hard to do the poses or follow instructions (how do I move my right hand behind my back and grab my left toe?) and easy to get hurt, especially if you ignore signs that you're pushing your body too hard. Only you can feel your internal sensations. Practice getting in touch with them -- and respect them. Assess how each pose feels and respond accordingly. If the muscle releases, it's fine to go deeper, but if it doesn't, back off.

2. You're Too Quiet
Before the start of most yoga classes, the teacher asks if anyone has any injuries or conditions that would affect his

Whether you turn to red meat as a source of iron or you're simply one of those steak-and-potatoes kind of people, a new study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine reveals that you might want to consider getting your fill of protein and iron elsewhere.

Most of us are aware that red meat is high in fat, which can lead to heart disease if we're not careful, but what many may not realize is that the iron-rich protein source can also be linked to cancer. Part of that is due to the increased exposure to iron, but it's also the process of cooking red meat, which can release potentially cancer-causing chemical compounds called nitrosamines, reports Time.

According to the study, led by An Pan at the Harvard School of Public Health, we can now put numbers on exactly how detrimental to our health red meat can be. Moreover, replacing it with chicken, fish, nuts and whole grains can make a world of difference.

So what are the numbers? The study, 22 years in the making, tracked

Runako Morton, the West Indies batsman, has died in a road accident on Sunday, police have confirmed. Morton, 33, crashed into a utility pole on the Solomon Hochoy Highway in Chase Village in central Trinidad.

Julian Hunte, the president of the West Indies Cricket Board, sent his condolences: "Runako's passing, still in the prime of life, leaves us all in shock," Hunte said. "He will be remembered as a fierce competitor on the field who gave no quarter whether he was playing for West Indies, Leeward Islands, Nevis or Trinidad and Tobago,"

Morton played 15 Tests and 56 ODIs for West Indies, with his last appearance for his country coming against Australia in a Twenty20 international in 2010. He underachieved as a Test batsman, scoring 573 runs at an average of 22.03 with four half-centuries. He had a better record as a one-day player, scoring 1519 runs at an average of 33.75 with two centuries and ten fifties.
