Trivia For The Day

Slimming Secrets!

1. FOOD
  • CINNAMON. Adding 1/4 to 1 teaspoon of this spice in something you eat everyday. (Ex. hot cereal, marinades, yogurt) helps blood sugar get into cells to be used foe energy, so less is stored as fat.
  • GREEN TEA. Green tea raises the heart rate and compels your system to burn calories faster. It also has catechins, substances that some experts believe help burn belly fat. Aim for three 8-ounce cups daily.
  • YOGURT. Dairy has a bad rep for high calories, but yogurt contain probiotics "friendly" bacteria that helps reduce the amount of fat your body absorbs.
  • COFFEE. Caffeine kicks your metabolism into high-gear. It also jump-starts lypolysis, the break down of fat. One to two cups a day is ideal.
2. WATER
     Drink at least 8 glasses of water everyday. Each serving of a sports/energy drink or a fruit smoothie contains about 100 calories. Yet these beverages don't satisfy you the way 100 calories of food does, so they're a waste. Other liquids may be high in sodium and carbohydrates, which trick your body into retaining water, puffing you out.

3. WORKOUT
    Do cardio 30 minutes a day. Any workout that gets your heart rate up will burn calories. But you'll use more calories if you pick a cardio routine that engages multiple muscles simultaneously.

4. HOBBY
    Do something you love, because if you don't love it, you wont do much of it. So kick off those stiletto and star hitting the trails with your girlfriends by running, walking, or try something adventurous like off-road biking or hiking. Go to dance class that will be heaps of fun and is an effective slimming activity as well.

5. GO ORGANIC
    White Tea has been the secret of Oriental women for centuries. A few sips a day increases metabolism, thus trims the figure.

6. SKIN CARE 
    There are certain market breakthroughs these days that can help us get slimmer. Look for skincare products that contain L-Carnitine or those that have natural cellulite fighting ingredients so it won't only moisturize your skin but also act as a fat-burning, silhouette-reshaping agent.

7. POSITIVE ATTITUDE
    Anything is possible with a positive attitude. Always think that each day is a great day. So think positive and always start the day happy!
