Summer: Time of Changes

Interesting Fact! Cameron Diaz says that in order to maintain her slim figure and health she just exercises regularly, laughs and plays often, and makes love every moment she can. Oh, yeah, and drinks lots of water”

1. Aerobics                              

I don’t think there is any other physical activity which makes you look slimmer so fast and efficient. Especially now, when metabolism is completely shattered after long cold winter.

2. Bath

Add 125 g of baking soda, 150 g of sea salt and a few drops of lavender alcohol into your bathtub. Wrap yourself in a warm blanket right after bath. Making such a fat-burning bath every two days you will find yourself a few pounds lighter very soon. 

3. Lips

Massage your dry and chapped lips with a toothbrush bashed in the Vaseline. The other day saturate them with hygienic lipstick. 

4. Diets

I’m sure you have already set your mind on going on a diet. The problem is: what kind of diet will fit you best? I want to share with you a diet which may not have an instantaneous but a stable effect. You can keep this diet for month and then take a 1 month break. 

Breakfast

Breakfast is highly important! Early in the morning you sugar level is extremely low. Without urging it with healthy and light food you beginning of the day will be marked with weakness and irritability. It doesn’t mean you have to devour chocolate and cakes for breakfast – dramatic sugar and energy burst into your blood will make you inert and sleepy for the next 3-4 hours. 

Right after waking up drink a big cup of water. Porridge without butter or sugar with a cup of natural yogurt; 2 toasts with a thin layer of butter and cheese; cup of kefir or milk; fruits or dried fruits; coffee or tea with cracker or a teaspoon of honey.

Luncheon

Kefir, milk or yogurt. 

Dinner

Vegetable salad or vegetable soup; 150 g of fish, or 2 eggs; 2 slices of bread; fruits.


5. Immune System

Polyvitamins should be taken with special regularity, that is – daily. So called “fresh” vitamins are also desirable. For example, the key vitamin – vitamin C contains in kiwi, broccoli, kraut, tomato juice, and rosehip tea. Green tea will supply you with vitamin P. Cereals and bran bread will give you plenty of vitamin B. Dairy products provide potassium, potato – calcium. As you can see – everything you need is at hand, in you fridge.

6. Oxygen

There is not enough oxygen in the cold air for a normal life activity. That is why during winter time we feel fatigue and suffer from headache more often.

How to import oxygen into the blood? Easy. Sound sleeping with the window ajar, aerobics, walks in the fresh air or simple physical exercise, yoga, qigong, and meditations stimulate your respiratory center and ventilate your lungs. Vitamin B also helps to import O2 from blood to body organs. You can find it in tomatoes, cabbage, beet, apples, oranges, and beef liver.

7. Elbows

If you have problems with coarsen skin on your elbows try make a special bath for them once a week. Heat up a vegetable oil, pour it into the dishes and dip your elbows into the warm oil for 5 minutes. Then rub them with pumice and apply oily cream afterwards. 

8. Massage

If you don’t have enough time for an anti-cellulite bath you can get by with a shower. Dip a bath sponge into the sea salt (baking salt is also possible) and rub your body bottom-up, from feet to shoulders. In this case salt works as a scrub or peeling and softens your skin. After a shower apply some balm to your skin.

9. Metabolism

During winter time your metabolism slows down significantly. Besides, if you’ve been doing the same kind of work-outs for some time you body eventually got used to it and effect became zero. There is only one way out – change your physical activity.
