In fact, starting tomorrow, every day is to be celebrated. Sample this: February 7, Rose Day, kicks of the week of love that culminates on the 14th as Valentine's Day. Here is your seven day guide to the 'love week'. February 7 — Rose Day Surprise your lover with a bunch of roses on this day and see her get all mushy. Give a rose to the one you like/love and no one will question your intentions! February 8 — Propose Day The second day in the Valentine's week is supposed to be the ideal time for those in love to propose and take their relationship a step further. Celebrated on February 8 every year, this day sees a lot of couples hooking up. February 9 — Chocolate Day After roses and proposing to the person you love, impress him or her with a box of chocolates. The sweet treat has always been known to help in impressing lovers and is the one gift that you can't go wrong with. What's more, it's even considered an aphrodisiac. February 10 — Teddy Day For those in love who like to do all things mushy, Teddy Day is not to be missed. Your girlfriend is sure to like a soft huggable teddy that she can hug and sleep with at night.

¨fd¨fÊ°f dfWXfSX ªf³f°ff IYe Vff³f, QZVf IYf À½ffd·f¸ff³f WZX»±f Top 7 foods to help your eyesight Deteriorating eyesight is not an inevitable part of ageing despite what most people think -diet and lifestyle go a long way We've all heard the old wives' tale that eating carrots can help us see in the dark. But eating your way to better eyesight isn't only about munching more root veg. A raft of recent research has found several other key vitamins and minerals are just as essential.Research shows our intakes of oily fish, the main source of Omega- 3 fats, fall short of recommended guidelines while leafy green vegetables are under-consumed, meaning nutrients such as lutein are lacking from diets. We all need to find ways to include more of these foods in our diets or consider supplements to improve levels. These seven superfoods will help keep your peepers healthy: CARROTS WHY All orange fruit and veg get their colour from betacarotene - a precursor of Vitamin A. It helps to absorb the light energy that passes into the eye and to adjust to low light levels at night.HOW MUCH Aim for one carrot a day or a helping of sweet potato, pumpkin or butternut squash. Try cooking them with a little olive oil, as studies have found this helps break down the vegetables' thick cell walls and makes it easier for the body to absorb the nutrients. SPINACH WHY This - along with other leafy greens such as broccoli and kale - is packed with zeaxanthin and lutein, which lower the risk of developing macular degeneration and cataracts. Lutein protects the eye by forming pigments in the macula that filter out harmful blue light waves, which can damage the eye.The more pigments your eye contains, the less likely it is to fall prey to age-related macular degeneration.HOW MUCH Eat a 100 g serving every other day. Have it raw in salads or steamed with hot meals. ORANGES WHY These are full of Vitamin C. One study found women who took a Vitamin C supplement for 10 years or more experienced a 64 per cent cut in the risk of developing cataracts.HOW MUCH One a day, with plenty of other C-rich fruit and veg such as tomatoes and red peppers. DARK BERRIES WHY They are linked to better night vision.Bilberries were eaten by Second World War pilots to sharpen their sight for night missions.Lab studies have since found dark berries such as bilberries and blackberries are rich in anthocyanins, which prevent and slow blindness caused by macular degeneration and cataracts. The berries also help strengthen the capillaries that deliver blood and nutrients to the eye.HOW MUCH Sprinkle a handful on your breakfast cereal daily or add to a fruit smoothie in the mornings. OILY FISH WHY Fresh tuna, anchovies, mackerel, salmon and trout are extremely rich in docosahexaenoic acid - a fatty acid found in your retina. Low levels of the acid have been linked to dry-eye conditions. A study by the US National Eye Institute found that Omega-3 fatty acids helped to protect adults from both age-related macular degeneration and dry-eye syndrome.This is probably because Omega-3 helps to reduce the inflammation that can lead to dry eyes.HOW MUCH Two servings a week are recommended to maintain healthy eyesight. BEEF WHY Red meat is rich in important eye health booster -zinc. This mineral helps release Vitamin A from the liver so that it can be used in eye tissues.A zinc deficiency can cause macula deterioration of the centre of the retina, which can lead to sight loss.HOW MUCH A portion of lean meat, twice a week plus one to two portions of baked beans, which are another rich source of zinc. ALMONDS WHY These nuts are filled with Vitamin E, which research shows may protect the eyes from free radical damage.This means it helps protect cells in the body from oxidiation, which may slow the progression of cataracts caused by UV exposure and decrease agerelated macular degeneration.HOW MUCH Sprinkle a handful of chopped almonds on your cereal or eat whole ones as a snack. www.charchitbihar.com 35 RYSX½ffSXe 2015 ÜÜ ¨fd¨fÊ°f dfWXfSX
