“The bottom line: investing in real estate is smart because the property is tangible. People always have, and always will, need shelter.

Which vegetable was deemed the top superfood? You might be surprised.

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 03:41:40 GMT

We know that vegetables are often the healthiest food on the plate – when they do make it onto the plate.Loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber, veggies are known for their health-promoting and disease-prevention properties. New research has ranked vegetables and fruit by their nutrient density or the amount of nutrients obtained per serving. While this information can help us optimize our nutrition, the findings of the study are a bit surprising.The study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention awarded only one vegetable with a perfect 100% score and it wasn’t cauliflower, broccoli or even kale. A lesser-known green vegetable, watercress, took the title as “top superfood”. Watercress is a leafy green vegetable in the Brassicaceae, or cabbage, family that grows in freshwater. It has a strong peppery and even bitter flavor. Watercress is higher in vitamin A and potassium than other lettuces and has more vitamin C than oranges.Related ArticlesHealth | ...

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 03:41:40 GMT

In yet another move to strengthen tenant protections, the Antioch City Council this week approved a new set of rules to ensure against landlord retaliation and harassment.The action came after more than a year of tenants and supporters advocating for help and after the council considered a draft review and later approved a first reading of revised ordinance in July. That version, however, advanced with changes on its second reading with Councilwoman Monica Wilson absent, Councilman Mike Barbanica recusing himself and Councilwoman Lori Ogorchock dissenting, requiring it to return for a first reading.On Tuesday, though, after hearing more than two hours of public comments and discussion, the City Council voted 3-to-1 to approve the latest version of rules, with Ogorchock dissenting and Barbanica again recusing himself.“This legislation that we’re voting on today is not the exact same one as it was a few weeks ago,” Thorpe said. “…The implication here is about the landlord&...
