For individuals with diabetes, understanding the fruit's impact on blood sugar levels and incorporating it wisely within their diet is essential. Benefits of Watermelon for Diabetics: Low Glycemic Load : Watermelon has a moderate glycemic index but a relatively low glycemic load due to its low carbohydrate content per serving.

TUTORIAL: PUSH-UPS WITH ROTATION

 Rotaional push ups is a functional exercise based on the natural human movement patterns of pulling, pushing, and rotating . The pull and push movement allows vertical movement towards and away from the torso. The rotation creates a horizontal movement that creates force and transfers focus from the upper body to the lower body (and vice versa).

Performing push-ups with rotation promotes full muscle activation , forcing the body to find its balance and stabilize itself from head to toe. All of the muscles contract as the body moves toward and away from the floor, spinning on itself at the end of each rep. This exercise requires coordination between the various muscles and joints and thereby trains the body in a functional way.

The natural human movements of pushing and pulling are part of many daily activities in which we bring objects towards and away from the body. In addition, pressing is a natural basic reflex to avoid danger and also represents the last part of a throwing movement.

WHAT

·         Rotation push-ups is a functional exercise based on two of the basic human movements, push-pull and rotation.

·         Strengthens the pectoral muscles, anterior deltoids, and triceps, and requires the shoulder blades and spine to stabilize.

·         Adding the rotation increases the level of difficulty by making the core and abs work more.

HOW

·         The starting position is the classic plank with arms straight. Now bring your torso closer to the floor by bending your elbows.

·         The elbows should point outwards.

·         Bring your upper body as close to the floor as possible, without touching it and without pain in your shoulders.

·         Keep your shoulder blades stable and distribute the load evenly across your armpits and chest.

·         Press your palms firmly against the floor until your arms are straightened again (the shoulder blades move as little as possible).

·         You perform the rotation by lifting one arm towards the ceiling and ending the movement in a stable T-shape.

·         Rotate back so that you return to the normal plank position with your hands on the floor and arms straight.

WHY

·         Increases functional strength and mobility in the shoulders and hips.

·         Activates all muscles of the upper body.

·         Promotes coordinational between the upper and lower body.

·         Promotes the mobility of the trunk.
