Peanut Butter One of the easiest and most delicious ways to gain healthy weight is by  spreading  some peanut  butter  on bread. Salty, soft  peanut butter  on toast has nearly 200 calories, but also provides a high protein boost that your body can use in a productive way. Cheese The best thing about  cheese  is that you can put it on practically anything. The high-fat  content  in most types of cheese will definitely help you increase your weight, but cheese also contains necessary  vitamins  and  minerals , as well as a good amount of protein, which will help you gain weight in a healthy way.

Eye floaters – those little cobweb-like strings that randomly sail across your vision – can be successfully treated with a laser, according to a  new study . Researchers in Boston, Massachusetts used a yttrium-aluminum-garnet (YAG) laser to treat floaters in a small group of patients. Floaters can appear at any age but become more common after the age of 50. Most floaters are caused by changes in the vitreous – the clear gel that fills the eye and helps to maintain its shape. With age, the vitreous gel becomes more liquid and collagen fibres that form part of the vitreous shrink, forming clumps or strings that can cast shadows on the back of the eye (the retina). It is these clumps and strings that we see as floaters. YAG laser Treatment for floaters to date has been relatively limited. For most people, no treatment is necessary either because the floaters settle below their line of vision or because their brain learns to ignore them. For persistent and very troublesome floa...

1. Eat muscle fuel. Eating is definitely the most important thing in gaining muscle. You need to eat a lot of proteins, which are building blocks for muscle and  you need carbohydrates , which are the main energy source for your body. If you don't get enough carbs during the day your body will start using proteins and muscle as a source of energy!  The best foods for muscle gaining are chicken, turkey, steak, rice, pasta, oats, nuts, milk, eggs, and fish.  So make sure you are eating these! 2.

If you want, you can dri...
