Asparagus and Funny Smells
Asparagus is a lovely green spear-shaped vegetable that's quite good for you because it's low in calories and a good source of fiber, B-vitamins and potassium.

Vitamin D Supplements - D2 or D3?
There are two forms of vitamin D found in dietary supplements called D2 and D3. Some people say you should only take D3, but does it really matter?

Portion Size and Portion Control
In order to manage a healthy diet, you need to understand portion sizes. This is especially true when you eat foods that are naturally higher in calories.
