Body Care – How to Simply Slim Down and Shape Up
♫ Monday, May 24th, 2010We don’t need to panic when we see ourselves in bad shape and when we hear negative comments regarding our figures. However, we can
gracefully say, “I’m working on it!” Thinking positive is the key. Here are some more keys.
1) Get yourself a hot or warm bath everyday as it clears away clogged pores of your skin. An occasional sauna bath is also wise as it makes you perspire and drain extra fluid from your body. Sun bathing is even better but not too much sun as it can cause sunburn. A twenty-minute exposure before 10 o’clock is good enough.
2) Exercise by simply brisk walking for 30 minutes instead of driving for an errand is far more ideal for those who wants to slim down. This
promotes general wellness to the rest of your system as well as it tones your muscles.
3) You can have a pet dog and walk with your pet everyday in the park. Taking care of your pet also gives you opportunity to exercise. This is most true if you walk, jog, run or play with your pet regularly.
4) Eat a consistent balance fiber diet, less fat, limited red meat and carbs at least three times a day. Don’t even try to escape meals especially breakfast for it can develop a serious illness in your body such as hyper-acidity, gastritis or even worse, ulcer.
5) Always think of food as a form of either a medicine or a poison to your body. It can either make you healthier or weaker. In this way, you can decide better what are the ideal foods that can keep you healthy and strong regardless of your cravings.
6) Be an optimist. Think that you are going to be slimmer one day at a time. Pessimism can make you give up on your cravings and some bad
habits. So be on guard always. When you know how to manage your thoughts you can succeed and reach your goals.
7) Always learn to say “NO” to salty foods and all sweets such as: cakes and pastries, candies, chocolate goodies, cola and other carbonated beverages; also say “NO” to junk foods such as: potato chips and all types of chips rich in carbs. Saying “no” is better than feeding your cravings that eventually leads to uncontrolled intakes or unstoppable addictions.
