Posted on November 29, 2008, under Health.
Here are some simple tips to get in shape in real quick time, as there is very little time left before the biggest bashes of the year are going to be held.Every workout must begin with a warm up.A warm up exercise is a must to get maximum benefits from your body but never confuse warm up with stretching. After workout have a glass of honey and lemon juice.Honey provides energy to body while lemon helps cut additional fat.
SLEEPER CLASS
Since one is going to be attending parties and sleeping late, lack of sleep can really spoil your looks.No amount of exercise can make you look fresh.Ensure at least six hours of sleep everyday.
FOOD FACTS
Rather than spending hours in the gym, one can alter one’s diet slightly and get in shape.Eating habits contribute 60 per cent to the way we look.Keep these diet tips in mind..
- Eat according to your body’s needs.A glass of red wine is good but not a bottle.
- Never skip breakfast.It is the most important meal of the day.
- Carry 3-4 ready to eat fruits like apple, plum or chiku with you at work everyday.
- Eat only when hungry.A hunger pang may not always be your body’s craving for food.It may just be thirst.
- Eat slowly as it takes at least 20 minutes for brain to register fullness.So, just because you are not feeling stuffed does not mean you have not eaten to your body’s requirement.Give it times to figure out.
- Keep dinner light.
- Cut down on your tea or coffee intake.Have a cup of tea in the morning and a coffee in the evening.In between if you feel like drinking tea go for herbal tea.
