How like a Greek At this point, you probably already know that the Mediterranean diet is good for your health.

Herbal Remedies, Supplements & Teas During Pregnancy

Improved memory (what pregnant woman couldn't use that?), sounder sleep (ditto!), better moods (double ditto!), improved immunity against colds and flu (who needs to be sick when you're already morning sick?): Herbal supplements do make the most tempting of promises — especially when pregnancy leaves you with few self-medicating options open (and your medicine cabinet closed).

Or a melatonin to guarantee that you'll sleep like a baby (even when it's a baby-to-be who's keeping you awake)? Or a Sam-e or Saint-John's-wort so you could stop crying during sappy commercials? And what about an echinacea or two to fend off...

Top 10 Anti-Aging Superfoods Your Skin Needs

by LAUREN KESSLER True, food isn't everything, but much of the hope (and hype) surrounding the anti-aging movement is focused on food and in particular on what are being called "superfoods." This is not a scientific term. It is not a term used by dietitians or nutritional scientists. A superfood is a food particularly rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, enzymes, and other essential nutrients with proven health benefits. It has more of the good stuff per calorie than other foods and fewer (or none) of the properties considered to be negative. And when it comes to your skin, these are the top 10 foods you should always eat: Broccoli Broccoli—the "eat it, it's good for you" food that George Bush (the elder) proclaimed his distaste for—is one of the most...
