Pomegranate power


 
Meet our fave new red fruit, the pomegranate. Yeah, sure, pomegranates may seem a tad bit complicated with all of those seeds, but they are most certainly worth it. Why? These babies are chock full of health benefits on top of being absolutely munch-worthy.

You've heard about antioxidants plenty of times, and pomegranates are a goldmine for these healthy winners, bursting with more than any other of our fruit faves. Antioxidants allow your bod to fight against all kinds of things, as well as improving your skin tone and temporarily speeding up your metabolism. Don't forget, by consistently taking a bite out of one of these, you're sending a blow in the direction of future wrinkles. Pretty handy, eh?

Poms are fantastic for fending off the tricky beast that is cancer, meaning they also keep your immune system in tip-top shape by giving a boost to your barriers. Say adios to flu season this year, girlies!

Tell us, if you’ve ever had the fruit: Love it or leave it?

I offered some to one of my friends when they were over last week and she looked at me like I was crazy for eating them. They are so healthy for you, if you havent had them, try them because they are amazingly good for you.

MOD!!!
I get charlie horses a lot when i sleep. What causes them? How can I prevent them? Is there any thing I can do while they're happening to make it less painful?




Ouchhhh...I've been there, girl! I get them a lot in my calves and/or feet while I sleep and they're so bad. Luckily though, it can be as easy to fix as just making a couple changes to your diet. A lack of potassium, calcium, or water is usually the reason for these pesky pains. Try eating a banana with breakfast and lunch to pump up your diet's potassium. Drink an extra glass of milk and an extra water bottle each day to cover the calcium and H2O. Stick to this plan and you should be cramp-free! 




As for when they're actually happening, try taking deep breaths and bending your foot at the ankle, pointing your foot upwards. This helps stretch all those muscles to make them calm down!

If you’re on a diet and you’re really, really craving something, go ahead and eat it. You’ll be able to reinforce your diet longer if you don’t view it as oppressive.
