There are some foods so healthy but may have become underrated gems in your diet. These foods are familiar, widely available, affordable, nutrient-rich and taste great. Beans and lentils Beans and lentils really are nutrition superstars – rich in protein, fibre, complex carbohydrates, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. Sadly, healthy foods like beans and lentils are often overlooked. Yet they are versatile and easy on the pocket. A diet rich in these legumes can help promote weight loss, lower low-density cholesterol and raise high-density cholesterol. Watermelon I'm yet to come across any reason to dislike watermelon – a beautiful fruit in so many ways, but because it is so naturally sweet, some people avoid it thinking it's high in sugar.

Sweet potatoes If you think sweet potatoes are as high in calories and carbohydrates because they are so naturally sweet, you are so wrong. Sweet potatoes are nutritional all-stars and one of the best vegetables you can eat. Not only are they a fantastic source of beta carotene, vitamin C, fibre, and potassium, they are so versatile they can be enjoyed with very few extra calories or embellishment. Tomato juice Everyone thinks fresh is best but juiced tomato that has been parboiled, helps release disease-fighting lycopene so it is better absorbed.

Rich in antioxidants, this cruciferous vegetable boosts cancer-fighting enzymes. You can eat it raw, cooked, sweet, stand-alone or added to almost anything from soups to salads.

This number counts all Windows 10 devices used over a 28-day period. While most of these will be PCs, there are other things in the mix there: a few million Xbox Ones, a few million Windows 10 Mobile phones, and special hardware like the HoloLens and Surface Hub. The exact mix between these categories isn't known, because Microsoft doesn't say. The company's original ambition (and sales pitch to developers) was to have one billion systems running Windows 10 within about three years of the operating system's launch. In July last year, the company acknowledged that it won't hit that target—the original plan called for 50 million or more phone sales a year , which the retreat from the phone market has made impossible. But at the current rate it should still be on track for somewhere in excess of 700 million use...
