News Page Instructions

Dear friends, in our quest to continuously improve Enriching-Life.com we have created a new News page for you. Here are some instructions to help you find your way around:

1. Icons
NEW!

Let's quickly explain what the icons stand for:

All News:
When the "All News" icon is active then the entire news content including videos, photos, quotes etc. is displayed in the content section.

Articles:
If you select the "Articles" icon then only articles are shown in the middle content sections.

Videos:
As the icon's name suggests, only "Videos" are listed if you click this icon.

Photos:
Yes, the "Photos" icon only gives you the photos which have been uploaded to site.

Quotes:
When clicking on the "Quotes" icon all the quotes ever submitted to our site are displayed in the content section.

Downloads:
Here you'll find helpful und interesting eBooks for download.

Submit News:
This icon is a new speedy way to submit catchy articles, photos, videos etc. to our site. Click on the icon and the "submit news" page, just as you know it, will open.

2. The content section:

The content section (left part of the screen) kind of stayed the same. You can still choose if you want to view the "latest", "popular", "random" or your "favourite" articles, videos, quotes, photos etc. by selecting the corresponding tab at the top of the frame. The functionality of the links remained the same too.

3. The sidebar
NEW!

The sidebar has been subject to some nifty improvements, which we hope you like and find helpful. Read on!

The Life Area Box (at top of sidebar) We've given the individual Life Areas new icons to improve their looks

AND

if you click on a Life Area not only the drop down menu with the associated life areas opens, but right below the Life Area box you’ll now find a new feature displaying selected users who are particularly interested in your selected life area! So quickly make friends with them!

AND

we've even pushed it further and added another feature right below to suggest Life Dreams relating to the Life Area you've chosen. We believe this will inspire you to create your own life dreams or to join the life dreams displayed in the box.

And right below you can still find our "Related Books" section.

If you have questions about our new News page or suggestions on how to improve it further, please don't hesitate to get in touch! We look forward to hearing from you! Have fun, improve your life and live your dreams! Your Enriching-Life Team

Have fun, improve your life and live your dreams!

Can super-food fix bad genes?

Imagine going to a doctor with severe arthritis and instead of being prescribed a drug you are told to eat a special kiwifruit grown only in New Zealand.





It's not impossible. Food that may be able to help mend the health problems caused by our genetic makeup is being explored by a team of New Zealand scientists.



The research hopes to take what we now know as functional food - food that is linked to disease prevention, such as broccoli to colon cancer - and connect it directly with the gene map of an individual or group of people.



The idea is to find the gene "switch" that makes people susceptible to a disease and discover the food - or a potent nutrient in the food - that turns the switch off. The potential benefit for New Zealand is that if our scientists can intensify the active ingredient through selective breeding they can claim the exclusive plant variety rights.
