Can food affect your mood?

OK, every body knows about chocolate as a mood enhancer… but how about all other edible pick-me-ups? For example, protein from egg white, which is the best source, keeps blood sugar stable for sustained energy. The more energy you have, the better your mood. Period.

How to Grow Food Indoors in Winter

There’s nothing quite like being able to pick fresh vegetables and herbs from your garden to cook with, but that really isn’t much of an option when it’s -10 degrees and snowing outside, is it?

Well, it can be. As long as you have some potting soil, containers, and a spot in your home that gets at least six hours of direct sunlight, you’d be surprised what you can grow indoors over the winter months.

Delicious Food Is Not An Indulgence—It’s a Way to Solve Our Ecological Crises

It soon dawned on this daughter of Cow Town that, while animal foods come in a few shapes and flavors, the world of plant food is almost endless: Think of green, red, yellow veggies. Root foods—from yams to purple potatoes. Legumes, including peas, beans, lentils, each with jillions of varieties. Fruits, from the bright, giant watermelon to the dark, delicate fig.

Project Ranks Billions of Drug Interactions

For decades, drug development was mostly a game of trial and error, with brute-force candidate screens throwing up millions more duds than winners. Researchers are now using computers to get a head start. By analysing the chemical structure of a drug, they can see if it is likely to bind to, or ‘dock’ with, a biological target such as a protein and find potentially toxic side effects too.
