From rhubarb, mangoes to honeydew melon, there are many delicious and incredibly healthy spring-summer fruits to consume more to be healthy and full of energy. Take a look at the list of some of the best spring-summer fruits and start adding them to your diet day by day. These fruits are easy to store, easy to eat, and generally have plenty of health benefits.
Best Spring-Summer Fruits to Add to Your Diet

1. Strawberries

StrawberriesSpring is the right time for sweet red berries everybody knows. Between April and June you can find strawberries at local farmers’ markets. Sure, you can buy them now, but I don’t recommend eating strawberries right now since they are less healthy. You can use strawberries in almost every meal. Personally, I like to add strawberries to my grilled chicken salad anв smoothies. Strawberries are a great source of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, vitamin A, vitamin K, and vitamin E.

2. Apricots

ApricotsThis bright orange fruit is another delight of spring and summer. It tastes as if it was made for making pies. If you don’t like cherry pie, I suggest that you try an apricot one. Put some cream on top of it and you will get the food of the gods. You can dry some apricots as well to save some lumps of summer sun for winter days. Apricots are high in fiber, vitamin C, potassium, water, calcium, iron and antioxidants.

3. Honeydew Melon

Honeydew MelonHoneydew melon has a very long growing season from May to October. So you will have a bit of spring, the whole summer and autumn to try all the tastiest recipes with this sweet-scented and colorful season fruit. If you don’t like bananas you can eat honeydew melon, instead, as it is a great source of potassium. But better try to mix the both in a salad or smoothie in order to get the best from both. Bon appétit!

4. Mangoes

MangoesA delicious fruit that you can use in all kinds of spring recipes. Mango is highly popular fruit in spring. It comes from warmer, tropical climates and is ripe from March to June. Mango is rich in essential vitamins and minerals that help to improve your brain function and immune system, keep your digestive system healthy and fight cancer. It tastes perfect in fruit salads, as trimmings, and as it is. A great choice for an outdoor spring parties!

5. Blueberries

BlueberriesBlueberries are healthy and delicious and you can start buying them from May to August, and if you go in for gardening, you can even try to grow them in your own garden. You can add blueberries to your yogurt and fruit salads and enjoy a proper spring taste combined with benefits for your health. Blueberries help to improve memory function, reduce inflammation, prevent urinary tract infection, reduce belly fat, and are good for your eyes, skin and hair.

6. Cherries

CherriesCherries have incredible health benefits. They can help you boost your energy levels, relieve pain, prevent muscle cramps, improve your brain function, improve your sleep and prevent cancer. Moreover, they have high anti-inflammatory properties and are good for your digestive system, eyes, and heart. You may use them in a pie, smoothies, salads, or gelato. In fact, there are many recipes to choose from. Unfortunately, the growing season of cherries is only from May to June. It’s so hard to wait till the next spring to eat cherries under the bright warm spring sun.

7. Rhubarb

RhubarbIt may surprise you as it did surprise me, but rhubarb is a fruit too! Well, you may call it whatever you like, but the main thing about it is its popularity and amazing taste. Rhubarb is one of the first spring fruits that you can enjoy right now. You can try rhubarb in pies, tarts, jams, and even soufflés. Any recipe that needs fruits in it will taste great with this funny little plant! Rhubarb is wonderful source of Vitamin C that helps to maintain a healthier immune system. Due to its low sodium and saturated fat contents, rhubarb helps to prevent heart related diseases.
It’s always a great idea to consume fruits year round, but when it comes to spring and summer, the options are endless. Fruits are fortified with powerful nutrients that help you feel better and look better. What are your favorite spring/summer fruits?

Wenger and Arsenal stuck together in defeat

COMMENT: Wednesday's 3-1 defeat to Monaco has left the Frenchman on the brink of his most embarrassing European exit and the sense is of a coach who has reached his ceiling By Liam Twomey As the dust settled on another   Arsenal   humiliation and criticism poured in from all sides, the most damning words of all flowed from   Arsene Wenger . He spoke of “suicidal” defending, a collective loss of nerve and the heart ruling the head before touching on a favourite theme. “Mentally we were not ready or sharp enough to get into this game,” he admitted. “We paid for it.”   Mentality is something Wenger talks about a lot, in victory and defeat. Nor is it idle talk – renowned French psychologist Jacques Crevoisier has regularly been employed to work with Arsenal players in recent years, and in 2010 he subjected the entire squad to a psychometric test designed to measure all the mental qualities required of an elite athlete. Nicklas Bendtner famously scored 10 out of nine for ...

The Exercise That Will Smoke Your Six Pack

By
The Exercise That Will Smoke Your Six Pack For a greater challenge to the classic plank, take your workout sideways with the lateral crawl. “It’s essentially a sideways moving plank,” says Sam Stauffer, an expert trainer for   Men’s Health  Thrive , a cutting-edge functional training system. “When you move side-to-side you have to take a hand and foot off of the floor at the same time,” says Stauffer. “This causes instability that your abs have to fight against to keep your body in a straight line from head to toe.” The benefit: Your core gets stronger, from every angle. Perform just a few yards in each direction to wake up your abs before your workout, or go for 30 to 60 seconds to ignite a deeper burn in your six-pack.  Keep in mind, the exercise only “works” if you do it right. Sloppy technique—the kind you often see people using with conventional planks—won’t provide the results you want. So watch the video above to learn how to perform the lateral crawl with perfect ...

French women of all ages are well-known for their natural beauty and they don’t have complicated beauty routines. I’m not telling that American women, African women, Russian women or Asian women are not beautiful. We are all beautiful, but we spend too much time (and beauty products!) trying to improve our natural beauty and often end up overdoing it. You don’t have to visit France to find out their beauty tips, though. I’ve got some of the most awesome French beauty tips that you may want to incorporate into your beauty routine. 1. Use facial masks every week French women love to pamper themselves and they always have time to do a facial mask. Sometimes we can be so busy that we don’t have time to get enough sleep, not to mention a facial mask. But you won’t enhance your natural beauty, if you don’t have time to relax and pamper yourself.
