A mineral that the body only needs in small amounts but is essential for the working of hundreds of enzymes, zinc is an important part of your diet.&nbsp;
It helps cell growth, synthesizes proteins and plays a vital role in supporting a healthy immune system. Harvard Health recommends&nbsp;that adult women should consume 8mg of zinc per day, while for adult men the recommended daily allowance (RDA) is 11mg.&nbsp;
Being a key helper in building immune cells, even a mild deficiency of this mineral can weaken your immunity, so here are some foods rich in zinc!&nbsp;
Shellfish such as oysters, crab and lobster are the best sources of zinc. Incorporate any of them in your diet once a week to get your fill.&nbsp;
If you start your morning with oats, you'll be happy to know that they are another good source of this mineral with one serving taking care of half of your day's zinc needs.
Add some pumpkin seeds to this mix and you have your zinc needs for the day sorted.
If you love nuts, have some cashews or almonds or both! While cashews are a richer source of zinc, almonds also offer a decent amount.&nbsp;
One of the most versatile and nutritious veggie foods, chickpeas are also rich in zinc. So make some hummus or have a plate of chhole masala!&nbsp;

They don't call it the 'root of immortality' for nothing. Giloy or Guduchi in Hindi is a herb that has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for years. &nbsp;
The herb is known for its immunity-boosting properties. A trove of antioxidants, Giloy helps the body fight various infections and purifies the blood.&nbsp;
It's anti-pyretic nature has found to be effective in the treatment of recurrent fevers in some studies. Thus, ayurvedic practitioners consider it effective in treating patients of dengue, malaria and swine flu.&nbsp;
In addition, it is believed the herb can aid skin regeneration and enhance the production of collagen. A paste made from Giloy leaves can be applied on wounds to accelerate recovery. &nbsp;
Diabetes patients or those with type-2 diabetes at least can benefit from Giloy consumption. As per studies, Giloy acts like a hypoglycaemic agent, which may also help in lowering blood sugar levels.&nbsp;
Experts, however, recommend that if you suffer from any kind of autoimmune diseases, it is best to avoid the herb since it may cause the immune system to become more active.&nbsp;
The best way to have it is in the form of a juice. Alternatively, you can mix some Guduchi powder with other things like amla or milk to extract its benefits.&nbsp;

Eye health is an important aspect of overall body health and there are some dietary habits that you can inculcate in your lifestyle to ensure that your eyes remain heal

Eye health is an important aspect of overall body health and there are some dietary habits that you can inculcate in your lifestyle to ensure that your eyes remain healthy and safe from chronic eye conditions. These could include cataracts, glaucoma and poor night vision.
Here&rsquo;s a list of foods that could help improve your eyesight:
Fish like salmon, is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and could be great for the eyes. These &lsquo;healthy fats&rsquo; are needed for vision development and retina health. They even help prevent dry eyes. If you&rsquo;re a vegetarian, add nuts like walnuts and almonds, and chia or flaxseeds to your diet.
To improve night vision and prevent the onset of cataract, include foods rich in vitamin A and Zinc in your diet. Dairy is a good source of both. Yogurt and milk are easy to make a part of your daily diet.
Eat your greens! Dark leafy greens and vegetables like spinach and kale contain two of the most essential antioxidants needed for healthy eyes, known as zeaxanthin and lutein. These antioxidants are stored in the Macula, which protects the eyes from damaging light. Eat at least three servings of greens per week to see a real difference.
There could definitely be some truth behind the age-old adage that rabbits never wear glasses and it&rsquo;s because they&rsquo;re always munching on carrots. Rich in beta-carotene, which is converted into Vitamin A by the body, carrots could promote healthy vision. Eat them raw as a snack or make some carrot soup!

Summers are incomplete without snacking on a cob of sweet corn. In India, people often relish the roasted corn on the cob, lovingly called bhutta. 
Apart from adding the much-needed crunch to any dish, corn is considered to be very nutritious too. The corn kernels, it is believed, contain a lower fat and calorie content in comparison to other cereal grains. This makes it a great snack if you're on a weight loss journey.
Rich in fibre, corn not only improves digestion but also keeps you feeling satiated for longer and may improve gut health.
Rich in antioxidant carotenoids like lutein and zeaxanthin, corn is excellent for the eyes. Apart from this, it serves as a source of zinc, copper, iron and magnesium.
It also contains lycopene, which is known to enhance the production of collagen and boost skin health.
You can whip up a delectable corn salad, add them to your wraps, or just add some lemon and masala to make a sweet and sour corn snack.

E-commerce giant Amazon altered the logo of its mobile shopping app after some said it resembled Adolf Hitler's moustache, reports suggest.
The tech giant had unveiled a new logo in January that had a brown cardboard box with a blue strip of tape on top and the company's signature arrow below.
However, some people on social media drew unfavourable comparisons and felt that the tape looked like Hitler's toothbrush moustache.
The icon has now been tweaked- it shows the blue tape folded over in the corner and instead of the jagged edge it now has a straight edge. The changed app design went live for iPhone users on the 22nd of February and for Android users on Monday, reports confirmed.

Approximately 300 years ago, people wrote letters to each other but often found it difficult to keep their thoughts private as there were no envelopes, passwords or security codes.
They would often fold the flat sheet of paper to become its own envelope, a technique called 'locking'.
Now, researchers from Queen Mary University in London have found a way of reading the letter without damaging it and opening its seal. They have used&nbsp; a&nbsp;highly sensitive X-ray scanner and computer algorithms to open it virtually.
The letter examined dates back to July 31, 1697.
