Best Fruits For Diabetics
Doctors encourage diabetics to consume particular fruits that are not only beneficial to the body but also control insulin. We separate this fruit salad and present a list of diabetic friendly fruits.
Red Grapefruit
Grapefruit reminds you of an orange or sweet lime, but it is sweet, sour and juicy. Grapefruits are the healthiest option for diabetics. It is advisable to have half a grapefruit a day.Berries - Cranberries, Raspberries, Blueberries
We love berries; select your favourite berry and rest assured the anti-oxidants will do their work. Besides, berries provide fibers, low carbs and various vitamins. 3/4th cup of berries will do the trick.Melons
Water melon, muskmelon or honeydew; pick any melon as it is rich in vitamin B and C, as well as beta-carotene, potassium and lycopene. A slice of any of these melons will give you the necessary vitamins you need.Cherries
Cherries have anti-oxidant properties, plus they are low in carbs and glycemic levels. 12 cherries a day is all you need.Peaches
It may have a velvet coat, but a peach is a good source for vitamin A and C. It is also low in carbs, rich in potassium and fiber.Apricot

That fuzzy fruit is a power house for potassium, fiber, and vitamin C. It also contains low carbs that are necessary for diabetics. One kiwi will regulate your health.Pears
Loaded with potassium, fiber and low in carbs, pears should be part of your diet.Orange
Oranges are known for their vitamin C content. They are also low-carb and contain potassium. Related to grapefruits, oranges are a safe bet for diabetics.5 Exercises You Can Do While At Work

If you are not blessed with a gym in your office premises, do keep the following tips in mind and make the most of it. You can practice these without leaving your office. Do them every day and notice the difference.
Take It To The Mat
Keep a fold-able exercise mat in your office, which can be used to carry out basic exercises like stomach crunches, push-ups and leg lifts. This can help to burn off carbohydrates and revitalize you for the rest of the day.Take The Stairs
When given the choice between taking the elevator or climbing the stairs to your floor at work, opt for the latter. Climbing stairs is an easy exercise and also one of the best every day exercises for office-goers. It not only burns calories, but this cardiovascular activity also gets your heart pumping and helps in boosting blood circulation.Stress Buster
Squeezing a stress ball repeatedly gets the blood flowing, and is a good exercise for heavy keyboard users. It also increases strength of the forearm and joints. And it is fun!Keep Walking
Walk around your office after lunch, or within the premises. Brisk walking for 10 minutes or more, boosts energy levels and helps fight stress and aids in relaxation.Throw Your Weight(s) Around
Keep small hand weights at your desk and lift them while talking on the phone. Try lifting weights that are not very heavy when sitting at the desk. Take a 10-minute break to stand up and do simple lifting exercises. Do two or three sets of 10 to 12 repetitions for a quick, efficient toning workout. You can also stretch a bit while sitting on your chair.Michelle Williams & Alicia Vikander: Louis Vuitton Vixens!

Samsung Pay Now Has Over A Million Users In South Korea
The milestone was announced by the tech giant yesterday and revealed some other interesting information related to its mobile payments service. For example, the number of avg. daily payments in South Korea has now touched the 100,000 mark, cumulative payments have exceeded $88 million, and daily average payments now stand at over $1.8 million.

Apple Music Dents Pandora's User-base
Pandora's CEO Brian McAndrews said their online music streaming service was largely unaffected by the new competitor. However, it has now been revealed that the launch resulted in Pandora losing 1.3 million active users in Q3.
The revelation was made by McAndrews himself, who also noted that this is approximately the same number of users the company lost when iTunes Radio launched around two-years ago. "I am pleased to say that, given the scale of press and consumer attention on this launch, the impact on our active users and listening hours was muted and was, in fact, consistent with what we experienced during the launch of Apple's radio service in 2013," he said.
Pandora's total user base now stands at 78.1 million - while that's an y-o-y increase of 1.6 million, it's actually a sequential decline of 1.6%. On the other hand, months-old Apple Music currently has a total of around 15 million subscribers, of which an impressive 6.5 million are paying to use it.

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale: Divorce Settlement Done
It’s so sad to see their marriage come to an end, and Gwen Stefani has reportedly worked out a custody arrangement and asset division with Gavin Rossdale. TMZ states that the “Don’t Speak” songstress and the “Little Things” rocker will split physical custody of their sons Kingston, Zuma and Apollo, though Gavin will actually end up with the kids more than 50% of the time due to Gwen’s various career commitments.
Regarding the dividing of their assets, Rossdale is entitled to half of everything but has decided to take less in order to expedite the divorce proceedings. Gwen and Gavin previously released a statement- “While the two of us have come to the mutual decision that we will no longer be partners in marriage, we remain partners in parenthood and are committed to jointly raising our three sons in a happy and healthy environment.”
A Drug To Cure Baldness
In some good news for people with receding hairlines, scientists have identified new drugs that could stimulate rapid and robust hair growth, offering a potential cure for baldness.
The drugs inhibit a family of enzymes inside hair follicles that are suspended in a resting state, restoring hair growth, researchers said.
In experiments with mouse and human hair follicles, Angela M Christiano from Columbia University Medical Center and colleagues found that drugs that inhibit the Janus kinase (JAK) family of enzymes promote rapid and robust hair growth when directly applied to the skin.
The study raises the possibility that drugs known as JAK inhibitors could be used to restore hair growth in multiple forms of hair loss such as that induced by male pattern baldness, and additional types that occur when hair follicles are trapped in a resting state, the researchers said. Two JAK inhibitors have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
One is approved for treatment of blood diseases (ruxolitinib) and the other is approved for rheumatoid arthritis (tofacitinib).
Facial Care Tips For Men
Men should opt for face wash with natural ingredients, use after-shave products according to skin-type and more to take care of their facial skin, says an expert.
Personal care, research and development, The Himalaya Drug Company, doles out tips for men's facial skin care:
For daily face cleaning, a face wash with natural ingredients must be used to remove surface impurities to refresh the skin without over-drying it and subjecting it to any chemicals.
A right shaving routine is a must for every man
Usage of after-shave products that suit your skin is ideal more so, since after shaving men's skin pores get exposed to outside air. If needed, usage of natural or herbal face washes for cleansing post a shave makes sure you are cleaning the skin naturally.
Moisturising your skin is essential to avoid dryness.
For a well-nourished skin it is recommended to use moisturisers according to your skin-type.
For many, a facial is still feminine.
But slowly this definition is evolving. Getting a facial done before a wedding or a festival to look and feel good has become a well-accepted trend in the men's world.
