Eating Cucumbers Can…

– help contribute to your overall daily fluid intake and keep you feeling hydrated and your body functioning optimally,” says Registered Dietitian and Certified Nutrition Support Clinician 

Kristin Gillespie.
Slide 3 of 7: Thinking about investing in a 64-ounce water bottle? Forget about it. All you need to be more hydrated is to snack on some cucumber slices and you're set. Well, maybe you should still get the water bottle, and continue to drink water, but that doesn't take away from cucumbers being a source of hydration.According to a French and British population survey published by Nutrients, cucumbers are more than 95% water—which means that in addition to a crunchy snack, you're also getting hydrated in the process of eating cucumbers."They can help contribute to your overall daily fluid intake and keep you feeling hydrated and your body functioning optimally," says Registered Dietitian and Certified Nutrition Support Clinician Kristin Gillespie.

More Vitamin A Than Carrots…

Slide 1 of 6: It's funny how certain foods get pegged almost inseparably to certain nutrients. When you think of foods with vitamin C, oranges likely come to mind. For a boost of potassium, most of us reach for a banana. And if asked to name a food high in vitamin A, we'd bet you'd say carrots.Vitamin A is essential for good health. As you may know, getting enough of this nutrient promotes healthy vision (hence all the buzz about eating carrots for eagle eyes). It also plays a major role in supporting your immune and reproductive systems.Carrots are, of course, an excellent source of vitamin A. Half a cup of the raw veggies contains a sizable 510 micrograms. That's 57% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for men and 73% for women.But as vitamin A-rich as carrots are, they don't own the market for this important nutrient. Several other healthy, whole foods actually contain more vitamin A than these crunchy orange veggies. Here's a look at the surprising variety of foods to choose from. Then, don't miss our list of The 7 Healthiest Foods to Eat Right Now.Read the original article on Eat This, Not That!

Poem

We by MwsR

We say tomorrow
But we think about today.
We say things will get better
Yet really they stay the same.
We dream of things we wish to be true
When in reality they’ll never be.
We cling to things and people
Even while leaving out our own family.
We place value on things we should avoid
Trying hard to grasp and hold tight.
We never stop and think,
Losing sight of that something to feel the void.
We never look in front of ourselves, really
To where we once and sometimes still are.
We never see what we have to give,
Instead, we stay stagnate
Never really truly enjoying the life we live.

When many people think of losing weight, one of the first things that comes to mind is getting a totally toned and taut tummy. After all, who doesn’t want to be able to slip into a pair of jeans without having to deal with a muffin top? Plus, losing belly fat is a surefire way to improve your health: Research links a larger waist size to heart disease, diabetes, and even some cancers. That said, we hate to break it to you, but doing hundreds of crunches every day isn’t the best way to lose belly fat. In fact, exercises that promote spot reduction just don’t exist.
