Burn Body Fat With These Vegetables And Spices

I bet you didn’t know that there is a specific class of vegetables that contain very specific phytonutrients that actually help to fight against belly fat.

Most folks do not know that there are certain chemicals in food and also in the environment like herbicides, pest control products that contain petrochemicals that can behave like xenoestrogens.

These xenoestrogens can cause problems in both sexes because they can cause hormone imbalances if there is excess exposure to them.

These estrogenic chemicals that we are exposed to on a daily basis can stimulate your body to store belly fat, along with many other problems.

So here’s where this specific class of vegetables comes in handy

Certain cruciferous vegetables have specific nutrients that fight those xenoestrogens that are making you store more belly fat. The best vegetables are brussel sprouts, cauliflower, kale and broccoli.

The fact that these vegetables work against the estrogenic effects will enable you to fight and reduce belly fat.

So there you go just another excuse to do what mom always told you and eat more broccoli!

As I tried some of these vegetables I learned to like them with a little garlic and melted grass fed cheese to improve the taste. You will come up with your own favorites, I am sure.

Now , there are some spices that also can help you burn off the fat

There is a compound in chilis called capsaicin that increases your energy use up to 23 percent when eaten in the morning.

Also, black pepper creates increased body heat, called thermogenesis , which helps burn calories

3. Turmeric has both anti-cancer and pro-thermogenic support. Best of two worlds if you ask me.

Combine all three spices and add them to you meals you get an increase in the benefits of just one. Triple team your fat.

You just do not want to over use these spices or you may end up with too much heartburn. Burn stomach fat , not your stomach lining.

Rejuvenate Your Soul In A Day Spa

April 8, 2010 by Tyra Smith

Everybody deserves a little treat after a hard day’s work. Tight schedules, financial problems, and emotional stress – all these and more add to the falling energy level of people.

What better way to de-stress than to resign yourself to a cozy massage, a facial treatment, get your nails done… those sort of things. One great destination is a day spa, the place to go to for total relaxation.

A day spa is an unquestionable haven to those who want to pamper in soothing body treatments and to just merely be away from the chaos of the outside world. Unlike resort spas, you don’t spend the night at day spas.

With the legion of day spas dotting almost every corner, it is essential, however, to pick the right one. Decent day spas must give you that soothing and unwinding feeling that you so loved. The vicinity should be impeccably clean with robes, slippers, and individual lockers provided and calming background music on. Check the menu if a certain day spa offers extensive list of massage, body, and facial services, which should be, of course, done by professional and highly-trained therapists.

Day spa facilities should include a relaxing private treatment room with fresh and clean linens, a lounge with free tea for the guests, a steam bath, and sauna. However, only large day spas could provide steam rooms and sauna. If that isn’t your kind of thing, then a typical day spa should be ok.

Momentary highs alright, but the hours spent in a day spa and indulging yourself in comforting various spa treatments are always worth the try. Imagine how a rejuvenating facial would feel or the kneading and pressing of your tired muscles with a healing essential oil. How about a simple waxing? With a great spa experience, you will be ready to face the needs of life again with revived energy.
