21 Days of Clear Thinking That Reduced My Anxiety
Anxiety doesn’t always announce itself loudly. Sometimes it whispers. For me, it showed up as overthinking. Endless mental loops. Imaginary worst-case scenarios playing on repeat.

Fruits that help control blood sugar in diabetes: Pears, cherries and more
Under medical advice and popular belief, fruit has often been looked at with suspicion in the case of diabetes. Its natural sweetness, sugars in sight and association with desserts have made many to think that fruit consumption is a sure way to worsen blood glucose levels. Such a view has influenced the kind of food people eat, and in some cases, even resulted in the disallowing of fruit. However, type 2 diabetes rates are still going up, and this iscalling for a relook at the foods we eat daily and their actual effects on the metabolism. Nutritional science advancements are already disproving these arguments by showing that whole fruits and refined sugars are very different. Fibre, plant compounds and food structure come from the fruit, and they all help with glucose absorption and processing. This has led to the fact that fruit is not a risk factor in the diet but rather a possible source of more stable blood sugar if chosen and consumed properly.

Unfortunately, Mother Nature didn’t pay attention to the forecast and decided she needed to show up a couple of hours early.

Maximize Your Focus Now
I used to sit down with the best intentions and still get nothing done. My phone was face down, my coffee was warm, my notebook was open—and somehow, an hour would pass without progress. I wasn’t lazy. I wasn’t unmotivated. I was simply scattered.
