January 7, 2016 2:32 pm

You’ve likely heard about the health benefits of antioxidants, but do you know where they come from? If you’re one of the many people who would say that they aren’t entirely sure how to get that daily dose of antioxidants, these antioxidant-rich foods are great places to start.

  • Raisins. Dried fruits, like raisins, contain well over 2,000 total antioxidants per serving.
  • Blueberries. These sweet, plump berries have more antioxidants than a whopping 40 other types of fruits.
  • Strawberries. One of the next best berries is the delicious strawberry, which helps to protect your body’s cells.
  • Plums. Plums contain more than 4,800 antioxidants per serving, and dried versions offer even more.
  • Oranges. Oranges are rich in the antioxidant beta-cryptoxanthin. It helps to lower your risk for arthritis.
  • Spinach. That’s right—some veggies contain antioxidants, too. Spinach is packed with the types that promote healthy eyes and prevent blindness.
  • Brussels sprouts. This tasty vegetable is becoming increasingly popular, which is a great thing because it is packed with isothiocyanates antioxidants that help to prevent cancer.
  • Beets. Pink beets not only look pretty on top of a salad, they also deliver a hearty dose of antioxidants.
  • Eggplant. Eat eggplant to take in the antioxidants that protect against plaque buildup in the arteries and prevent cancer.

Ray’s Pizzeria: A Slice Is Nice in Universal City

December 23, 2015 2:32 pm

The next time you’re craving pizza in the Universal City area, skip the big-name chains and go local at Ray’s Pizzeria. This popular area favorite serves a reliable selection of homemade pies made with your choice of toppings, and while it’s fun to create something wild and flavorful, you really can’t go wrong with the classic pepperoni. Order from the extensive menu of pizzas, calzones, wings and pastas, or pair your meal with a fresh salad to add a bit of green.

The restaurant itself is tucked away in a fairly nondescript strip mall area, but once inside, you’ll find a spacious dining room complete with red leather booths, wooden dining tables, and flatscreen televisions that are always tuned to the big game.

With large portions at very reasonable prices, it’s easy to feed the whole family when you go to Ray’s Pizzeria!
