There are more to Watermelon Than We Think

Watermelon is a fruit that has lot of nutritional value. It is summer time, watermelon is a thirst quencher. Don't think that watermelon is high in calories,contains only sugar and water but, this sweet red fruit does pack more than we think!

A watermelon contains about 90% of water and about 50 calories.Approximately 44 of these calories do come from sugar, but this is a natural, healthy fruit sugar. Let me tell you that sugar is a vital nutrient for fueling our energy, and it is the sole source of fuel for our brain. Along with water and sugar, watermelon also contains vitamin C, has just a trace of fat without cholesterol. Not a bad deal I think, but the best news is about its color.

Watermelon contains the phytochemical lycopene, one of our colorful disease preventing cartenoids! Watermelon is red, because it contains nature's chemicals in the form of red pigments just like the tomato.

"Watermelon is fat free and it contains vitamins A, B6, C, and thiamin. A cup and a half of watermelon contains about 9 to 13 milligrams of lycopene. On average, watermelon has about 40 percent more lycopene than raw tomatoes. Red, ripe flesh is the best indicator of the sweetest and most nutritious watermelon, though it's hard to choose the ripest melon when it's uncut".

Watermelon definitely packs more than sugar and water. It packs a lot of Lycopene even when it's raw! Want to up your intake of lycopene and not eating spaghetti and meatballs tonight with tomato sauce? Try a cup of fresh sweet red watermelon!

Before we can start or embark on our dream, work piles up and eventually we find it that time is not on our side to fulfil our dream.

What can be done? You want to make this resolution permanent? The following 7 tips might just be the solution you are looking for.

1. THINK OF THE BENEFITS

Our mindset needs to be changed. We have to eliminate all those excuses for not exercise regularly. Imagine yourself that benefited from regular exercise. See yourself as a fit and healthy person, who get thing done efficiently and with less time. You don’t feel like sleepy as your quality of sleep improves. Fitness gurus will tell you that regular exercise actually saves you time as it makes your more energetic and efficient. There is nothing you can do for 30 to 40 minutes a day that gives you more benefits and time. It is endless……..

2. PREPARE TO SUCCEED

If you are better prepared, your success rate will be higher. Get rid of the barrier to regular exercise, be motivated and ready to kick-start your exercise programme. Make it a point to exercise daily; this is your daily activity, without fail. Have a plan, and plan to succeed.

3. SET GOALS

This is important. Goal setting has to be specific and realistic. Put it down in writing. Make long and short term goals. The short-term goals will compliment your long-term goals. Then breakdown your annual goals into 12 bite-sized monthly objective and schedule them into your weekly and daily activities. Some simple mathematic will get you there.

4. HAVE FUN AND VARIETY

Make your scheduled fitness as a fun activity. Go with those activity you enjoy doing. Learn new skill to incorporate a total package fitness activity. By learning new skill, it will be invaluable to your self-esteem. This will keep you motivated.

5. KEEP ON LEARNING

In order to maintain your interest and be motivated, constantly learn and update yourself on knowledge pertaining to health and fitness.

6. RELIEVE STRESS

When you are in and going for a few months, you will find that it is not that physically and physiologically straining to stick to the programme anymore. At time you are still prone to relapses, especially work and relationship stress come-in, these might affect your programme. Take it positively that exercise is a terrific and healthy way to relieve stress. You will feel nice and be surprised how much better you feel after a long jog in the cool evening. This will keep you less tempted to opt for alternative ways of coping with stress.

7. LIKE NIKE SAY “JUST DO IT!”

Be focus! Do not be distracted from your exercise routine. Along the way, you bound to stop exercise for a while due to some personal matters, which should not discourage you from continuing the routine. Focus on how a healthy lifestyle has improved your life. Eventually, the benefits of exercise will become internalized and regular exercise will become ‘rule’ controlled rather than ‘decision’ controlled. You no longer ‘decide’ to exercise, you just do it!

There again, your would say that the best is do not have any pimple anywhere on the body or face. For back acne, it would be difficult if you are living all alone by yourself.
