Peacock Feathers

Have you ever seen a peacock closely and wondered about the secret behind its stunningly beautiful plumage? We’ll tell you all about it. There are two factors involved in this - Firstly, the simple structures in the feathers that interfere with incident light and secondly, the presence of pigments. Pigment particles are embedded deeply in the newly grown feathers during the moulting season. They tend to absorb light of certain wavelengths. Look carefully and you’ll see that a peacock feather is made up of numerous small, flat branches that are poked with bowl-shaped indentations. Upon near examination, these branches are also covered with bitsy plates or thin plate-like layers that produce a scattering effect with the beautiful iridescence. Fascinating, isn’t it?

Berries

These include heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer's disease and even cancer. Irrespective of the health claims, anthocyanin-rich foods are a great addition to your diet.
