10 Tips for Keeping Yourselves Fit

- Sport and diet

By: Stefan Anitei, Science Editor

You may look at the stars like J-Lo or Madonna and see how they manage to keep in good shape. Genetics may play a percentage on how we look, but beyond anything, it is about hard work. And specialists are attentive to the multi-million bottoms or thighs of the divas. Here are some advices given by them for keeping fit:

1. The best sports for toning up the buttocks are martial arts like tae kwan do, judo and kick boxing.

2. The trainer is not the key of the success, but just an added factor. The most important thing is to be faithful to a program.

Physical exercise and sports burn extra 2,000 calories weekly.
Walking, footing, biking, climbing stairs, swimming...

3. When making cardiovascular exercises, the most important is to vary the degree of intensity, the duration and the activity, for challenging the body to respond to these changes.

4. Do not forget the importance of resting: you never have to train more than three to five times a week and 45 minutes are enough for each session.

5. The emotional fitness is as important as the physical one: that's why the mind part must not be neglected.

6. Regulate the insulin. Eat aliments that are rich in fibers, which require more chewing and keep constant the levels of sugar in the blood, satiating it for longer periods.

7. ‘Trick’ the feeling of hunger. Drink a lot of water combined with fibers. For example, if you consume glucomanana and guar gum, drink 2-3 cups of water in the meantime. If eating in small amounts and very often, a regular repartition of the food is ensured all over the day, with a constant efficiency.

8. Avoid pigging out during the night. Various researches showed that, after the breakfast, the body experiences the highest calories consumption, while the lowest occurs during the night. The food processing is made in cycles linked to hormones. If during the night you consume sugars instead of proteins, the former boost the synthesis of serotonin, which favors sleep and increases the sensation of being ‘full’.

7. Increase fat burning. Green tea infusion stimulates this and slows down the absorption of sugars and fats.

8. Fight against ‘swelling’. Take diuretic infusions, which also remineralize (like horsetail) and follow a diet poor in salt and rich in potassium (citrus fruits, tomatoes, green vegetables, potatoes).

9. Stimulate your thyroid gland: the Fucus alga is extremely rich in iodine, which stimulates the synthesis of thyroid hormones, and also mucilage that decreases the hunger sensation. Decrease the consumption of cabbages, turnip and raw soy beans.

10. Satiate the sweet tooth. Eat fruit. The healthiest sugar is found in fresh fruit, with high fructose content, which satisfy and stabilize the sugar levels in the blood. Moreover, fruit come with vitamins and minerals.
