It’s been a while since my last ‘tip of the week’, so here we go:
I’ve recently started sprinkling my salads with organic ‘Beauty oil’ (by Viridian), instead of just an olive oil dressing.
It’s a great source of essential fatty oils: Omega 6 and Omega 3.
Including these fats in our diet is absolutely vital for our health.
These essential oils have been proven to reduce risk of cancer, heart disease, allergies, eczema, depression and many other diseases:
Omega 6 fatty oils and it’s conversions prevent blockages by keeping blood thin, lowering blood pressure and helping to maintain the body’s water balance. They also improve immune and nerve functions.
Omega 3 oils and it’s conversions are essential for proper brain function, as well as also maintaining the body’s water balance, controlling fat levels and improving your body’s immune system and metabolism.
Let’s snack again! I’m such a snacker, as I do get hungry every 3 to 4 hours. If I don’t eat anything I get grumpy very quickly.
I find this is the best way to include celery in my diet. Let’s admit it, I’m not a massive fan of celery, raise your hands who is (hmmmm…)?
Guacamole is a great dip and icelery is better than dipping tortilla chips in it. You can of course dip in any favorite veggies.
I’m an avocado geek, so guacamole is a perfect spoiling snack for me.
10 simple exercises, 2 bottles of water, 1 chair and a pair of trainers.
These exercises can be done ANYWHERE and ANYTIME, no excuses!
I can easily go a full month without staying in the same place for more than 2 nights and that’s when it gets tricky to squeeze in some exercise, especially after the late night flights and early morning call times.
Therefore I invented my ‘HOTEL ROOM EXERCISE ROUTINE’.
Just 10 simple exercises, a different 10 each time I get bored (Routine #2 to come soon), I do them when I get into my room, when the hotel gym is either closed, too small or filled with watchers (well, weirdos), instead of people who actually want to work out.
It’s worked magic for me, it doesn’t take much time and you can do it even when you’re super duper tired. We live such busy lives, so taking a bit of time for yourself is amazingly beneficial and refreshing.
One of the great things about Miami and it’s definitely one of MANY (the beach, the weather, the art deco architecture, a quick hop to the amazing Everglades, you see many!) is SPORT! In Miami, the weather makes you want to exercise and do the sporty things as it comes so naturally! As naturally as a girl comes to the shoes (well, almost).
I know, I’m probably getting those rolling eyes, cause I know too well, that everyone comes to Miami to PARTY, right? Bear with me though! Even after a cocktail or two you want to exercise in Miami, because the ocean just asks for it. The sun calls you out of bed and challenges you to that volleyball game, quick swim and run on that golden sand. If nothing else, all the amazing, buff, scantily clad people should at least do the job.
Anyway, that’s how I feel, I love to exercise in Miami.
Here are just few of the favorite sporty bits I enjoyed over that 4 long day vacation. So if you’re like me, get inspired, pack that sports bra and get to Miami B**itch ASAP!
