Sweet Potatoes Are Perfect For Diabetics Sweet potatoes are an excellent choice for diabetics since they contain natural sugars that decrease and stabilize the insulin resistance in diabetics. They are also good for the regulation of the sugar levels. The sweetness of this potato comes from the beta-carotene. The body uses it to produce vitamin A, and that is the reason why it is referred to as Provitamin A. Sweet potatoes are rich in dietary fibers which are good for digestion. They also prevent colon cancer and help with constipation. Sweet potatoes contain carotenoids which help in producing Vitamin A. This vitamin regenerates the respiratory system. So, people with respiratory problems, especially smokers should consume sweet potatoes more often. Vitamin D is also contained in sweet potatoes. This vitamin is good for the teeth, heart, skin, bones, energy levels as well as for the normal function of the thyroid gland. In general there can be an improvement of the heart functioning with the help of the potassium. This vitamin lowers the impact of the sodium, regulates blood pressure and makes a balance of the electrolytes. The sweet potato has Vitamin B6 that prevents heart attacks, strokes and degenerative diseases. The potassium in the sweet potatoes is good for healthy tissues and muscles. It also helps in reducing swelling and cramps, provides with energy and relaxes the muscles. It also regulates heartbeats and nerve signals. Beta –carotene in the sweet potato acts like an anti –oxidant. It helps with arthritis, gout and asthma, protects against lung and breast cancer and it also reduces aging effects. Since sweet potatoes are rich in folic acid, they are a great source of folic for healthy fetal development. Pregnant women should consume more sweet potatoes. The potassium content in potatoes increases the flow of oxygen, regulates the balance of the body’s water and normalizes the heartbeats. The magnesium content on the other hand acts as an anti-stress agent. Vitamin C is crucial for the entire body’s function and sweet potatoes have abundance of it. Sweet potatoes are also rich in iron that has a crucial role in the producing of red and white blood cells. That’s why they help against anemia. Did you know that you can use the water from the boiled potatoes for treating your skin? Especially for irritation of the skin, cleaning the pores and absorbing impurities.
The Vitamin C contained in the sweet potato will produce collagen while the vitamin E will help in the improvement of the complexion of the skin. Anthocyanins will help you in removing wrinkles and purifying the dark circles around the eyes.

LA FEMME NAKITA
DANIELLE RIVERA 7.How many fashion shows have you done? I haven’t done any…..yet, however, 2016 has many different events in store 8.What kind of advice can you give to ladies who are wanting to model, but do not think they can do it?
1.What makes Danielle unique as a person? Dani, has a different way of walking in life. I plan to be a unique person as in something refreshing. I want people to look at me and go, that’s the best type of interesting I have seen yet! To look sexy with clothes on, or to hold doors open for women, although shes a woman. To be a, Gentlewoman 2.How long have you been modeling? I have been modeling for about 6 months now 3.Do you have any limitations when you are modeling and why? My limits are that I don’t plan on going nude for any reason than influential, I also plan on staying a Gender fluids model or androgynist as they call it. 4.Can anyone be a model? YES! However it isn’t easy, most think it is just staring into a camera when its so much more. 5.Do you have a meal plan to keep yourself in shape? Yes I do, I meal prep every week with a trainer 6.What kind of exercise do you do to stay fit? I do very high intense work outs, lots of jumping, heavy lifting, many pull ups and pushups. I often do my cardio with an elevation mask along with a lot of different rope work outs.
To all the women that want to model but don’t think they can, you can only go as far as you push yourself. You have the last say so in your life, no one else is holding you back but your own ill will. You have the last say so when it comes to moving your feet, don’t be afraid. Left foot in front of the right one and vice versa, now you’re moving forward 9.What is your biggest accomplishment as a model? My biggest accomplishment would have to be being published and having the opportunity to work with such influential people from photographers, to makeup artist to even other models. I love learning new things however I can.
10.What is your story behind what you do? My story behind what I do….wow. Well as a child I was always told to be more like my sisters, wear dresses like my sisters, not to play with boys, or asked weird questions like “do you want to be a boy”. I never felt comfortable in women clothes although I am completely comfortable being a woman. I want to prove that just because I wear a neck tie and suspenders, doesn’t make me a man or show that I want to be a man. They are just clothes that I feel confident in. I am openly gay and I enjoy testing societies eye on women’s fashion. I also like testing societies eye on men’s fashion as well. I am a woman. I am a proud lesbian woman that enjoys treating a woman as a woman should be treated. There is no science here as people may want it to seem….I am just another woman, being herself.

3 Mindset Traps Keeping You From Taking Your Yoga Practice To The Next Level As a yoga teacher, I’m always helping my students focus on their progress and growth. But over and over, I notice the same seemingly tiny things holding yogis back. Here are three mindset traps that can keep practitioners (myself included!) from taking their yoga to the next level— and how to fix them. 1. Disconnecting during transitions Sometimes I joke in class that yoga is like starring in your very own reality show—the cameras are always on, so it’s never a good idea to just check out. We tend to do this during moments we deem unimportant. This is especially true during transitions: The mind just wants to get there, knowingly or unknowingly attaching your identity to the destination. Stay connected through every frame of the journey. Every moment counts. This attitude helps us cultivate presence in the moment. Meditation can help facilitate this focus, and if we apply this practice to our mat, asana becomes a meditation in motion. 2. Focusing on what you can’t do It’s easy to get trapped in our own sense of inadequacy. Faced with a difficult posture, it can feel impossible to look beyond our own limitations. Rather than focusing on what you can’t do, bring your attention to what you can do. Concentrate on what you’re doing well, and then do it to the best of your abilities. This mentality translates into our daily lives by helping us focus on our strengths. Easier said than done, right? Somehow it always feels easier to focus on the negative. 3. Attaching to a goal At the beginning of class, yoga teachers often encourage everyone to “set an intention” for their practice. That’s different from attaching to a goal. Devote yourself to understanding your goal rather than achieving it. Don’t define yourself by your ability or inability to achieve the goal; you are beyond success or failure. Let go of the results. After all, it’s the process, not the destination, that reveals what we hope to find.
