We are fast approaching the Summer vacation period and I am sure there will be a lot of people thinking about that spare tyre they have around the middle or the bloating that has plagued them all winter but was covered up with layers of clothing.
How would you like to banish the Winter/Spring excess and feel trim, no bloating and improve your skin tone and texture too ?
Here are 8 simple steps you can do easily to help you get that “to die for” beach body.
Step 1
Cut out sugar, that which you add and the sugar in its various forms in cakes, biscuits, chocolate, sweets, puddings, ice cream, dried fruit and so on….
Step 2
Cut out yeast, that which is in bread, rolls, pizza, gravy powders/stock
Do you know that by cutting out those two products from your diet it will cause you to be naturally cutting out convenience foods, takeaways, any junk food sweet or savoury because those two products are in just about everything you eat, every day !
Step 3
Eat plenty of salad and herb leaves, fresh vegetables, whole grains, sprouted lentils and beans, fresh fruit – everything in season and as local as possible and drink lots of spring water
Step 4
Do not add salt, use herbs and spices and seaweeds for flavour – (this will help to reduce water retention)
Step 5
Chew your food- this encourages the release of enzymes in the mouth which help to breakdown foods (starches) before entering the stomach, it also gives your jaw and teeth some exercise and causes you not to eat quite so much.
Step 6
Choose a good quality pro-biotic to encourage the formation of good bacteria in the gut, chances are that your bacteria is overpopulated with the bad guys which will cause bloating.
Step 7
Get out there ! exercise try walking, skipping, running, go to an exercise class, dance class, yoga class – anything that will get the heart rate up which will in turn help with the blood flow through the body systems and organs and it will encourage the release of happy hormones (endorphins) too – a sure winner !
Step 8
Give your skin a good brushing or scrub with a loofah or a good body scrub with some sea salt and oil – this will get rid of any dead cells and allow your skin to breath and renew.
