Spring is the time of the year in which stylish shades are displayed on the runways of many fashion cities. From observation, tiny sunglasses are hot this Spring so also are the cat eye sunglasses. They both have many variations and beautiful designs and you can't go wrong with any.

Altidore tapped in Fabian Johnson's cross in the 31st minute on a play that started with an Alejandro Bedoyarun, stopping a 27-match scoreless streak for club and country with his first goal since Dec. 4 for Sunderland against Chelsea.

He doubled the lead in the 68th, running onto Michael Bradley's looping 30-yard pass over the defense. Altidore took a touch with each foot as he cut inside of Nigeria captain Joseph Yobo, then beat goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama to the near post with a right-footed shot from 12 yards for his 23rd international goal.

Victor Moses converted an 86th-minute penalty kick for Nigeria after he was knocked over in the penalty area by Matt Besler.

A crowd of 52,033 watched an exhibition that began with an 84-degree temperature and 65 percent humidity that should be similar to the climate in Brazil

Healthy Heart

Being one whose every family member who died had died of heart diseases, I took it upon myself to research and find more about healthy living and with special interest in cholesterol and blood pressure.
High blood pressure is not called a silent killer for no reason. I have seen some healthy vibrant and young family member of mine that have visited their graves early.
At the age of 22 my blood pressure was already 150+ / 110. I ate healthy, stopped smoking, took my medications, and tried to control stress but my blood pressure was still high. I however noticed an improvement when I started exercising, constantly hydrated, and maintained my healthy diet. When I go to the gym I do both cardio and strength training. Know your limit, start from what you are comfortable with and then increase your time in the gym. Don’t deceive yourself too. No pain, No gain.
My diets are mainly greens, fruits, nuts and a lot of water. I love my banana, orange juice and almond smoothie also. I hardly use salt at all and watch my sugar intake because my mom was diabetic.
Since high blood pressure is due to tension exerted on the arteries and vessels that carry blood from the hearth, it will be prudent to keep those arteries healthy. Nuts that are rich in unsaturated fats, Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Plant Sterol and Fiber will go a long way in helping to not only lower the pressure on your vessels and arteries, but also lower you LDL also known as bad cholesterol. I personally like these nuts because of their high ratio of unsaturated fat to saturated fat. They are Almonds, Hazelnuts, Walnuts, Pistachios, and Pecans.
