REFRESHING HEALTH BENEFITS OF CHERRY

If you were born in Nigeria like me, at a point in your childhood, you would have sung the song! agbalumo sweet o! Sweet o sweet o!
If you haven't, now is the time.

Cherry, the African star apple also know as agbalumo, udara in yoruba, and Igbo dialect respectively.

It is both delicious and nutrient-packed fruit offered to us by nature.

Here are some of its fantastic health benefits.

1. Rich in vitamin C: Cherry contains high Vitamin C content, an important vitamin need to maintain your body optimal function.
A 100g of the fruit gives about 25mg of vitamin C.

2. Bone & Cartilage Health: From the prevention of mouth gum disease to the tackling of toothache as well as sore throat, vitamin C prevents scurvy and arthritis.

3. Anticancer Agent and Immune Booster: a readily available source of anti-oxidants, which help strengthen the immune system and prevent the damages caused by free radicals that can lead to cancer.

4. Good for expecting mothers: The acidic taste of cherry help balance stomach acid and prevent the urge of vomiting during pregnancy.

5. Weight Management: A good source of fructose. Studies have shown that a fruit serving gives 67 calorie, and thus aid in maintaining weight to prevent obesity and diabetes.

6. Improves your Digestive Health: It's rich ascorbic acid and fibre content, is a natural remedy for health conditions such as constipation, sore throat, and indigestion.

My dear client, So when next you come across the African star apple screaming eat meπŸ’ make sure you don't just pass it by, rather get some to nourish you; as It blooms between December and April. πŸ‘

THRIVE BY LEARNING IN DISCIPLINE

Months ago, I bore on to be trained by a successful senior colleague. As an oldie, I sometimes am tempted to skip training by telling myself that I know and have done these things before. After a month, I realized newbies were delivering results I had yet to have. I mustered courage and went to meet my trainer! to access me. IToas confident he would give me the needed spanking and motivational alignment, but lo😭, he said_ hosanna be more disciplined. It took me weeks to readjust, humble myself, and start doing what was needed to cause a shift in my mental attitude; the results I got were changing for the better. I am excited to share these transformational life cues with you today : 1. Be OPEN! Be CURIOUS:  You have to become like a child in any learning sphere. Learn to watch, talk less & do more than average. 2. HUMILITY: This will take you to places and help you learn from nobody and everybody to be Somebody. 3. DISCIPLINE: without this, no man can be truly su

LIFE Mission: Find a Balance

LIFE Mission: Find a Balance  In social sciences, we were made to understand that man's needs are insatiable. True as it may be, it doesn't stop us from utilizing the gift of life and our daily going forth in search of ways to fill these needs! Year 2018 has started in its majestic regalia, you might have taken time out to write out your yearly goals & dreams, taking action steps towards them every day and prioritizing your immediate wants & needs........good! good! good. I have learned that: Man's life is based on Beliefs upon which he builds his faith; our Needs lay the bedrock on which our Beliefs are built. Despite being aware of the truth that all men will someday pass on to the great beyond and be free of this cycle, many still live a carefree life in the present! with a vain sense of relief and reassurance that the pleasures of now and tempting joys from the imagination of the future will bring them to satisfy all their desires and need

THE 10X RULE - Grant Cardone

Hi guys, I have been on diet with this book: The 10X Rule , authored by Grant Cardone, an entrepreneur, and sales motivation coach; and want to share the value I got with you. The book is a must-read if you seek to achieve success in your personal life and business. It comprises 23 Chapters built around a discipline called the "10X Rule; which is about pure domination mentality. You never do what others do, you must be willing to take actions and do what you or others might deem unreasonable. Here are the action points that I got: ~ Things change ; nothing remains as it was, for things to be maintained, they require attention and action. Thus to be an extremely successful person you must know that your efforts must continue in order for them to realize new achievements. ~ In life or business, many people make mistakes of underestimating the time, energy, and effort required to achieving their set goals. If you commit this mistake, you will have quit in your mind, voic
