Our mind can receive tons of information. However, if you don’t update it and remind it always, the memories could vanish.
That’s why a smart man said: “repetitio est mater studiorum”.
For those who see it for the first time, it’s a Latin phrase meaning: repeating is the mother of learning.
The whole life is like that. Can you tell?
To be healthy, you know that we need to include fruits and veggies in our diets. They are full of antioxidants and beneficial nutrients we need in our life.
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans came out with a study in 2016 saying that we need to include fruits and veggies in half of our meals.
Each fruit and vegetable give you different health benefit, and you need to consume them to a certain point.

Having diabetes is frustrating. I’ve been around a person with diabetes for my whole life, and I can share the struggle with those people.
Their entire life is based around “you should eat this,” “don’t eat that,” “this food will make it worse,” etc.
It’s like living in prison and your body is the guard responsible for your diet.
However, if you don’t eat properly, the disease could kill you.
Our theme for today is fruit and what it can do for your illness.
These six amazing and tasty fruits have the ability to control and prevent diabetes from getting worse.
Fruit #1: Apples
The apples are a great source of soluble fiber that slows down the absorption of sugar in your blood. Plus, eating apples keeps you full for longer time.The fiber content works against the “inflammation insulin resistance causes which promise faster recovery from infections.
Only one apple per day will satisfy 20% of the daily fiber intake.
Fruit #2: Black Plums
Black plums or as many people call them, the fruit with significant anti-diabetic properties. Eating this fruit will help your body transform starch into energy that will regulate your blood-sugar levels.If you consume two black plums per day, you will feel the balance and positive effects on you in a week.
Fruit #3: Guava
It’s full of lycopene. The dietary fiber that reduces diabetes symptoms and lowers the chances of another disease.Eating a PEELED guava does a great job cutting the sugar that gets into your blood.

A study says that grapefruit lowers the blood-sugar as effective as the metformin (a diabetes drug).
LiveStrong says that a half of grapefruit will reduce the blood sugar level and reduces the risk of obesity.

Fruit #6: Strawberries
Strawberries will help you satisfy your sweet tooth. They contain a small number of carbs, which people with diabetes need to maintain a nice balance with their blood-sugar levels.

If you want to be prepared to take over the world, you need to start doing it day-by-day.
Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Even if that takes months or years. For that, you need to start the day right. And I don’t mean getting up early and rushing to do more and more.
You will lose energy halfway through the day. And you don’t want that to happen.
I’m a big fan of habits. One of the first thing every morning is exercising and breakfast.
Some simple 5-minute stretches do the trick to open my eyes and tell my muscles “it’s time” to wake up.
Then, breakfast. In some of the previous posts I’ve mentioned that breakfast is one big reason why I get out of bed every morning.
I tend to make different breakfast meals, but smoothies are in my blood.
When I spend the day without a smoothie, and that’s really rare, I feel like something’s missing inside of me.
Those are all the nutrients I get from it.
Now, for the next week I found a smoothie that has been proven as successful in fighting obesity, Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular disease.
Here are the ingredients:
- 4 Ripe Bananas
- 1 Celery Stick
- ¼ cup raw steel-cut oats
- 1 tbsp. Chia seeds
- 1 cup non-fat coconut milk or coconut water
- ½ tsp. Ground vanilla bean powder
- ¼ tsp. Ground cinnamon
Bananas are high in Vitamin B6 that acts like an anti-inflammatory fighter against cardiovascular disease, obesity and type 2 diabetes.
With the help of the potassium, you will be able to lower your HBP and reduce any risk of stroke and heart attack.
Oats are here to stabilize the blood sugar levels. The coconut water and chia seeds are responsible for the energy level in your body. While the cinnamon will provide you with all the requirements your body has from you.
The preparing method:
- Put all ingredients in your blender and blend until smooth
- Enjoy!
