6 Effective and Tight Glute Exercises for a Perfect Booty

Glute exercises are what we need for this holiday period. We won’t be able to move our body because it will be full with food and beverages.

However, our booty shouldn’t deal with the consequences.
When I saw these exercises, I thought about the squats. But, we all know that sometimes these squats are the reason why we don’t do anything about our glutes.
They could be boring from time to time.

So, no squats here. I’m going to show you something different.
The gym will probably take some time off for the holidays. Don’t worry, I have your back. As always.
You can do these glute exercises at your home. You will stay in shape during the holidays.
The results will surprise you.
Let’s get sweaty!

Exercise #1: Swiss Ball Hip Raise and Leg Curl

Exercise #2: Donkey Kicks


Exercise #3: Lunges

Exercise #4: Dumbbell Step-Up

Exercise #5: Medicine Ball Hip Thrusts


Exercise #6: Unilateral Stiff-Leg Deadlift

Can you see why I recommend these exercises for the holiday season?
Easy and effective. Wait until you see how your butt forms from these glute exercises.

Don’t forget to invite your friends over and start doing these together.

6 Amazing Fruits That Control Diabetes

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.
6 Amazing Fruits That Control Diabetes

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. Watch for the “peeled” part because eating it with the skin will result in increased blood-sugar level.

Fruit #4: Grapefruit

6 Amazing Fruits That Control Diabetes
Daily Express
I think this is my favorite fruit among the others.
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 #5: Avocado

Avocados are full of fiber. Remember how I told you that this content is ideal for regulating blood-sugar levels?
It also has an excellent level of potassium, which reduces diabetic neuropathy symptoms.
Eating one serving of avocado provides you with 50 calories, three grams of carbs and only one gram of sugar.

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.
Have you tried dipping strawberries in 70% cocoa dark chocolate? It will give you a high number of nutrients and increase insulin sensitivity.
These six amazing fruits that control diabetes will help you maintain a healthy balance in your life.
I hope you are going to find this useful going further.

5 Vivid Signs of Vitamin Deficiency Written on Your Face

Vitamin deficiency is hardly noticeable if you don’t know how to look for it. The winter time is the period when we suffer from this cause the most.

The lack of vitamin D from the sun and other crucial vitamins for our well-being make us feel weak, or like we just saw a ghost.
Maybe you don’t feel that you lack something at this time, but your organism becomes vulnerable to diseases as you avoid taking any vitamins.
The whole talk about vitamin deficiency and what could come as a consequence made me do a little research and show it to you.
It came out, your face is telling you more about this, and if you know how to read its warning signs, you will be okay.
Here is where I come to educate you. Grab a mirror and focus your attention on it for the next couple of minutes.
5 Vivid Signs of Vitamin Deficiency Written on Your Face
VitamiNeeds

Here are the vitamin deficiency signs on your face:

Sign #1: Overly Pale Skin

It’s a sign that you lack vitamin B12. If you want to bring back the old you and restore the exact level, try to increase the meat and seafood products in your diet.

Sign #2: Dry Hair

Dry hair means that you lack biotin, a.k.a. Vitamin B7. This condition comes as a result of taking antibiotics. To restore the level of biotin, you need to include more vegetables, meat, fish, mushrooms, fruit, and pulses in your diet.

Sign #3: Puffy Eyes

The lack of iodine causes this condition. Consume iodine rich foods like seafood, dairy products and bread (in some cases)

Sign #4: Colorless Lips

The lack of iron. If you want to restore the healthy level of iron in your organism, you need to consume more red meat and avoid high calcium food for quite some time.

Sign #5: Bleeding Gums

The most important of all, you lack vitamin C. Bleeding gums is the first symptom you are going to notice when this vitamin deficiency occurs. Establishing a great balance is easy. Include more vegetables full with this vitamin and citrus fruits.
If you want to get a more precise diagnosis of vitamin deficiency, you need to consult a doctor for further instructions.
