 The most beautiful city in the world that won my list is none other than Paris in France. In addition, Paris is most preferred for light, love and culture. The city with the long list of beauty is at the heart of the France. The city is known for the latest fashion and gastronomy. If you asked me facts on Paris, I just can say that Paris's beauty lies in charming streets, romantic restaurants, cafes, the monumental squares, attracting structures.

Located at the Southern Tip of Africa lies the world’s most beautifully situated city. ‘The Mother City’ is cradled between massive and distinctive mountains. The central city is backed by one of the new seven wonders of nature, Table Mountain (3563 feet / 1086m) and is flanked by Devil’s Peak (3281 feet / 1000m) and Lion’s head (2195 feet / 669m). These mountains are three of roughly eighty peaks found in the city’s limits, some of which exceed 5000 feet (1500m) in height.

It is known as the city of the thousand spires because of its profusion of grand, beautifully-preserved historical monuments dating from practically every period in history. Those spires are best admired from the bridges that cross the Vltava River, especially from the magnificent Charles Bridge, or standing in the stunningly beautiful Old Town Square. Add the atmospheric alleyways and cobbled streets that lead to it, and you know that few other cities delight the senses as much as Prague.

The Hagia Sophia is possibly the finest of all, a building originally an Orthodox Church, then a Mosque and now a Museum and probably this stunning city’s main attraction. It remained the largest Church ever built for over 1000 years, and seeing it is literally breathtaking.

The next amazing place is Rome. Eternal City’ is the seat of the Roman Catholic Church, and as such has some of the most sublime art and architecture in the world, as well as the biggest church on Earth - St Peter’s Basillica.

The city is known for its eco friendly green spaces, Stanley Park and Coast Mountains. This is the 3rd largest metropolitan region in the nation. 

1. Vegetables are nutrient dense. 

Vegetables pack a lot of nutrition into a minimum of calories. For a measly 35 calories (the amount in one little teaspoon of butter), you can get a half cup of vegetables that contains a wide variety of vitamins, minerals, and health-building substances, called phytonutrients – not to mention a lot of flavor. Load up on legumes (the family of beans, peas, and lentils). Second only to soy, legumes are the best plant source of proteins, fiber, and iron, in addition to being high in folic acid.

A good source of protein, fiber, beta carotene, vitamin C, folate and calcium, sweet potatoes are a nutritious and tasty family food and merit a place in our “Top Twelve Foods” list. Contrary to their name, sweet potatoes are not botanically a potato, but rather a root. Though white potatoes contain much more niacin, sweet potatoes are overall more nutritious: They are lower in carbs and higher in fiber, beta carotene, folic acid, and calcium. Like potatoes, sweet potatoes are best stored in a cool, dry pantry. If refrigerated, they lose their taste.

2. Veggies are a dieter’s best partner. 

Vegetables get top billing on any fat-control diet because most are “free foods,” meaning you can eat an unlimited amount without having to count the calories. Why this lean indulgence? Because of a neat little biochemical quirk that only veggies enjoy: the body uses almost as many calories to digest vegetables as there are in vegetables in the first place. You’ll use up most of the 26 calories in a tomato just chewing, swallowing, and digesting it. The leftover calories don’t even have a fighting chance of being stored in a fat cell. You’d have to eat entire platefuls of most vegetables before the calories begin to add up. This might be one of the most weird facts about them.

3. You can fill up for less. 

Because of the fiber in vegetables, you get fuller faster; which is another reason why it’s nearly impossible to overeat veggies.

4. Vegetables are fat-free and cholesterol-free. 

All vegetables by definition are cholesterol-free and for all practical purposes, fat-free. Over 95 percent of vegetables contain less than a gram of fat per serving, and even that insignificant gram is mostly unsaturated fats. Still boring?

5. Variety, variety, variety. 

Let’s face it, diversity makes life interesting. Adults, at least, like different foods prepared different ways. (Witness the diversity of ethnic restaurants in any large city. There are hundreds of different kinds of vegetables and even more ways to prepare them.

6. Vegetables provide complex carbohydrates. 

The energy in vegetables is in the form of complex carbohydrates. These take some time to digest and don’t cause the blood sugar highs and lows that sugars do. An exception to this rule is the sugar in beets or corn. (These sugars have a high glycemic index and trigger the insulin cycle.)
