It’s getting warmer. Spring is here and summer is coming soon. Are you ready to wear shorts, a tank-top and show more of your body? You can’t make your body beautiful and healthy in one day but if you keep doing little by little every day it makes a big difference in making you slimmer, firmer and more beautiful. Set a goal and then work at it. There is still plenty of time before summer so don’t wait, get started now!
Here are some self-care tips on how to get more healthy and slimmer for summer:
- Drink a lot of water. (Drink water throughout the day. Have a glass of water just after you wake up; it’s better to drink warm water than cold.)
- Eat good food for detoxifying. (Apples, Avocados, Asparagus, Bananas, Basil, Beets, Broccoli, Cabbage, Coriander, Garlic, Ginger, Grapefruits, Kale, Lemons, Onions, Seaweed. and so on)
- Do dry-brushing. (It helps to stimulate your lymphatic system, increase circulation, reduce cellulite, exfoliate your skin.)
- Exercise. (The easiest, safest and most effective exercise is walking.)
- When you have a shower, have cold water for 30 sec to 1 min and hot water for 30 sec to 1 min alternately several times. (It helps to stimulate the circulation and metabolism. It’s tough, I know, but try it!). Please don’t do this if you have heart condition or high blood pressure.
- Head stand. It’s called the “King of asanas” and is the best yoga pose you can do! It takes some practice but it’s worth practicing until you can get it. Start by leaning against a wall. (The venous blood and lymph flow against the gravity. So doing head stand helps stimulate these circulations. If you can’t do headstand, it’s just good to raise your legs up).
- Self massage. (Good oils for detox – Juniper, cypress, rosemary, grape fruit, lemon, lemongrass and so on)
- Have a bath. (It stimulates the circulations)
It’s never too soon, start now! Good luck everyone!
