Tea drinkers can rejoice as a daily brew will help maintain a healthy weight.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Other tasty treats have been revealed as being high in flavonoids – a key compound could help prevent weight gain. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Flavonoids are plant compounds found in various foods and drinks, including a wide range of fruit and vegetables, tea, chocolate and even wine.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They have long been celebrated for their antioxidant effect which is thought to help prevent cell damage, but new recent research has found fruit and vegetables with a high level of this compound could help us maintain a healthy weight and even losing some.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A team at Harvard University and the University of East Anglia (UEA) found consuming just a small amount of flavonoids would be beneficial.</div>

Even a single 80g serving of the fruit or veg per day may improve health.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Professor Aedin Cassidy, from UEA Medical School, said the strongest links were found for foods containing anthocyanins, which are found in blueberries, strawberries, cherries, blackberries, grapes, radishes and blackcurrents.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said: "We also found that flavonoid polymers - found in tea and apples - were particularly beneficial, along with flavonols - found in tea and onions."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Prof Cassidy's list of the best fruit and veg for maintaining a healthy weight is as follows:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Raspberries</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Blueberries</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

The experts found consuming just a small amount of flavonoids was linked to maintaining a healthy weight, and even a very small weight loss (0.1kg or 0.22lb).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They said many fruits provide huge or a number of benefits - for example a single serving of blueberries contains up to 121mg of anthocyanins and tea contains a range of flavonoids, including flavonols, flavan-3-ols and their polymers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This means that choosing flavonoid-rich fruits and vegetables could help people shed up to 1lb or 2lb, the team said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the study, published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), experts examined data for 124,086 men and women in the US over a 24-year period.</div><script async src="//

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Prof Cassidy added: "This is the first large study to examine the associations between consumption of all flavonoids and weight gain in middle-aged and older adults.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Most adults gain weight as they age and even small increases in weight can have a substantial impact on risk of high blood pressure, developing heart disease, cancer or diabetes - so strategies to help individuals maintain a healthy weight in middle-age are needed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We found that an increased consumption of most flavonoids was associated with weight maintenance, and even a modest weight loss. The results were found to be consistent across men and women, and different ages.</div>

"However losing even small amounts of weight, or preventing weight gain, can improve health and these modest effects were seen with a small, readily achievable increase in intake of many of these fruits.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Just a single portion of some of these fruits per day would have an important impact on health at a population level.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The team hope the results will help refine previous dietary recommendations and provide guidance on which specific fruits and vegetables to choose for preventing obesity and its potential consequences</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tracy Parker, dietitian at the British Heart Foundation, said: "Although the mechanisms of the benefit of eating fruit and vegetables are not well understood, this study suggests that eating fruit and vegetables that contain high levels of flavonoids, such as apples, pears, berries, and peppers, could help people maintain a healthy weight.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We know that even small increases in weight can have a substantial impact on risk of high blood pressure, developing heart disease, cancer or diabetes. Eating a balanced diet high in fruit and vegetables along with regular physical activity is an essential part of maintaining a healthy weight.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Unfortunately, most adults in the UK struggle to eat the 'five-a-day fruit and vegetables' recommendation, so the take-home message is still that we all need to be eating more fruit and vegetables, rather than focusing on particular types."</div>

A team of food scientists examined the relationship between table/plate sizes and calorie intake.</div>

They discovered participants ate less food if they dined at a large table. Conversely, those eating off a smaller table were more likely to eat twice as much.</div>

Lead author Brennan Davis, a researcher at Cornell’s Food and Brand Lab said: “To eat less food, serve food in small portions and on large tables.”</div>

Exposure to chemicals found in food packaging could be messing with hormones and triggering weight problems even in "low concentrations", warn scientists.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Phthalates - chemicals that make plastic more flexible - may get into food and become ingested.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Found in food packaging, they are most commonly transferred from containers of fatty products like cheese and sausages but can also get in to our bodies through the skin.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
SIGHT is universally considered the most precious of our five senses, yet few of us seem to realise that what we eat can help to protect it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many of us assume our vision will naturally begin to deteriorate when we get older.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yet with the right diet and lifestyle there’s no reason dimming eyesight should be an inevitable part of ageing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In fact, eye problems such as cataracts, dry eyes and macular degeneration are all affected by the food we choose.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Some studies suggest that maintaining a healthy diet, including oily fish, nuts, fruit and vegetables in your meals could reduce your eye disease risk in the future,” says Dr Hannah Bartlett of Aston University’s School of Life & Health Sciences in Birmingham.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here are five top foods that will help keep your eyes healthier for longer.</div>

<strong>CARROTS</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes, the “see in the dark” vegetable does actually contain components that are important to your eyesight, notably beta-carotene which is converted by the body into vitamin A.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just one small carrot provides all the vitamin A you need in one day which is vital for the production of rhodopsin, a purple pigment that helps us see in low light.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Without enough rhodopsin it’s not possible to see very well at night, even with a cloud-free sky and full moon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However once we have adequate vitamin A – other good sources are red peppers, apricots, deep green vegetables and liver – consuming more does not provide further improvements in night vision.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Vitamin A deficiency can also lead to dryness and inflammation of the cornea (the clear covering over the front of your eye) which if extreme and prolonged can lead to blindness.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Worldwide, an estimated 250,000 to 500,000 vitamin A-deficient children become blind every year, half of them dying within 12 months of losing their sight.</div>

<strong>KALE</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the Macular Society, a wealth of research suggests that the lutein antioxidant, found in large amounts in curly kale, may be more effective than other dietary components in reducing the risk of macular degeneration which is the leading cause of age-related blindness in the UK.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A high concentration of lutein, and related compounds zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin, are found in the macula region of the retina, where they are known as the macular pigment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The macular pigment helps protect the back of they eye by filtering out damaging blue UV light from the sun.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By acting as a blue-light filter the macular pigment can protect the cells that are responsible for vision from light damage.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lutein has been shown to have the highest blue-light filtering properties, which is why some experts recommend lutein supplements if you don’t regularly eat green veg.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Getting lutein from leafy green vegetables is the best option, though, as plants contain other useful nutrients such as folic acid, vitamin C and fibre.</div>

Other good sources of lutein and zeaxanthin include spinach, red and orange peppers, eggs, broccoli and sweetcorn.</div>

<strong>BRAZIL NUTS </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These nuts are the top dietary source of selenium which is needed to form the antioxidant glutathione peroxidase that is important in protecting the lens of the eye and possibly reducing the risk of cataract.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The nuts are also a decent source of zinc, with one eighth of the recommended daily requirement in a handful (30g).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Zinc helps to keep the retina healthy and was one of the nutrients featured in the Age-Related Eye Disease Study carried out over several years at America’s National Eye Institute.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This study found a high-dose supplement of antioxidant nutrients including zinc, lutein and vitamin C (the so-called AREDS2 formula) could reduce the risk of macular degeneration in a population of older adults.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Other good combined sources of zinc and selenium include pecans and sardines.</div>

<strong>KIDNEY BEANS</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
University of Oxford researchers looking at the link between diet and cataracts found the risk of developing a cataract was nearly one third less in vegetarians, who tend to eat more whole grains, veg and beans, than those who ate more than 100g of meat a day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“If you’re planning more meat-free meals, beans are a particularly good option that provide protein and also zinc,” says Dr Bartlett.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Beans also have a low glycaemic index, releasing their sugars slowly into your bloodstream, which has been linked to better eye health possibly through reducing levels of inflammation and cell damage in the body.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The red colour of kidney beans indicates the presence of anthocyanins (also present in blackcurrants, blueberries and other purple fruits and vegetables), which may also play a role in protecting cells in the eye and possibly in improving age-related macular degeneration, although evidence is still lacking.</div>

<strong>OILY FISH</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fresh and canned salmon, mackerel, sardines and herring are extremely rich in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 fat that is concentrated in the eye’s retina and required for the maintenance of normal vision.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some studies suggest that having regular meals of omega-3 oily fish, once or twice a week, may help to reduce the risk of macular degeneration.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There’s also evidence that the omega-3s in oily fish can help dry-eye conditions such as blepharitis.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a study published in the International Journal of Ophthalmology in 2013, patients with dry eyes who received capsules containing omega-3 fats EPA and DHA for three months showed a significant improvement in symptoms.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
MCDONALD'S restaurant owners in the US are worried the chain is in a 'deep depression' and it could mark the end of the business, it's been claimed. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's been revealed franchisees of McDonald's restaurants in the US are worried about the brand's performance after 21 months of poor sales.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The results of a survey - published in the Business Insider UK - have reportedly prompted restaurant owners to question the new initiatives recently implemented. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nomura analyst Mark Kalinowski conducted the survey of 29 US franchisees who between them own 226 McDonald's restaurants across the country. There are 14,339 McDonald's restaurants in the US. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Business Insider UK has reported franchisees are worried the brand is in a 'deep depression'. It comes just weeks after a the Fast Food Menu Price produed a picture claiming to show what's in a Big Mac burger.</div>

It reports one franchisee said:  "We are in the throes of a deep depression, and nothing is changing. Probably 30 per cent of operators are insolvent."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another added: "The CEO is sowing the seeds of our demise. We are a quick-serve fast-food restaurant, not a fast casual like Five Guys or Chipotle. The system may be facing its final days."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Five Guys and Chipotle are classed as fast food restaurants, but the meals are made-to-order - thus taking more time to make than McDonald's. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While one disgruntled owner made their feelings quite clear, saying: "I have been in this business since the early 1970s but have not seen us this leaderless in all my time." </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the main criticism to come from the survey was about the all-day breakfast, and the new 'Create Your Taste' program.</div>
