While true that Hoboken boasts several gourmet health food stores and numerous yoga studios, New York City is the ultimate destination for finding healthy foods and taking care of yourself.
For example, a chain of stores called the Whole Foods Market are located near Union Square, Columbus Circle and in Chelsea. These stores provide a wide variety of organic products. Whole Foods Market resembles Hoboken's new Garden of Eden store, but is bigger, therefore providing a greater variety of baked goods and other healthy essentials.
In addition to healthy foods, the Chelsea Whole Foods Market has a separate store next door, Whole Body at Whole Foods Market, devoted to non-food items. The Whole Body store stocks vitamins and supplements. Exercise DVDs of all kinds, including yoga, tai chi and weight training can be found there.

People Can't Stop Talking About '5 Black Presidents' & Obama
Why is "5 Black Presidents" more relevant today than last year? Could it be because Barack Obama, if elected, wouldn't be the first black president of the United States? Were there others?

Here's some of what DiversityInc readers had to say about the '5 Black Presidents' and the research they have found:
Great job as always. I'm so glad that everyone is on board for a Black Presidents and no one took any offense at your subject. We're coming along, America.

Students vote on food
University Dining Services and Gordon Food Service filled students' stomachs and warmed them up to spring break by throwing a food sampling luau.
Last night in the Union Multi-purpose room, each novice food connoisseur received a plate for sampling, a page of stickers to cast votes for their favorite items and a lei so they didn't stand out amongst the plastic palm trees.
Gail Finan, director of dining services, said the best way to provide students with what they want is to let them choose the items they would like to eat.
"We will be able to see very quickly what students want by looking at the stickers," she said. "Next year we will look at some of those items and make them available on campus."
Jeremy Lehman, a member of the food advisory board, said he thinks it is great that the students are also being given a chance to sample potential menu items, not just the food advisory board members.
Right at home for breakfast at Lucile's
With Lucile's claiming the title of "Best Breakfast in Boulder," I had to see if the food was really any better than other breakfast choices around town.
Lucile's, 2124 14th St., certainly has an original look. The Cajun restaurant, which serves both breakfast and lunch is in a bright yellow house with a large front porch. Along with the friendly yellow walls, the house has white curtains and flower-print cloth napkins to give the restaurant an at-home feel.
Half the menu is breakfast food, and the other half is lunch food. The breakfast side of the menu looks more typical for Colorado, while the lunch side and the Mardi Gras pictures on the walls look as if they came straight from Louisiana.
To start, we ordered beignets. Our server said they were a type of donut, but I would describe them as looking and tasting more like sugar-covered scones.
Surprising Reasons Why We Overeat
Our minds, not our stomachs, control our eating habitsbut our minds dont always do a good job of making food decisions. Most people put on weight because their minds dont accurately keep track of how much they have eaten, not because they lack the willpower to put down their forks. Surprisingly, when our minds tell us which foods we enjoy, its often for reasons that have little to do with how they taste. Example: Approximately one-third of World War II veterans who served in the South Pacific love Chinese food 50 years later. A similar percentage hate it. It turns out that almost all the veterans who love Chinese food did not experience frequent heavy combat when in Asia, but those who hate it did. .
