a HEALTHY LOOK…

So I came across this cool site today called Information Is Beautiful, a site that basically takes ideas, issues, knowledge, data, and visualizes it. For a visual learner like me, this was bit like discovering treasure at the end a rainbow!

An interesting one I came across was a look at the scientific evidence for popular health supplements. The way the visual below works is that the higher the bubble is, the more stronger the scientific evidence that the supplement helps the respective health issue below it. For example, there is strong evidence that Green Tea helps with cholesterol levels. The size of the bubble just signifies the popularity of the supplement (i.e. the amount of google hits).

So don’t forget to pick up some Probiotics, devour some D3, grab some green tea, and offer yourself some Omega 3!
