Two things today. Firstly, I just read a new product called ‘The Diet Solution Program‘, and LOVED it. And I know you would love it too. So, pick up your copy by clicking HERE

Secondly, I thought I’d try something different today. I’ve converted one of my articles entitled ‘6 Surprising Natural Fat Burners‘, into a video. It’s pretty basic as I have little technical knowledge, and apologies for the poor music, but hopefully you’ll enjoy it anyway. It gives some fantastic weight loss tips.

The waist, butt and thighs are the problem areas for many. They age and sagg faster than other areas of the body. Some exercises can contribute to returning these areas to their former glory. This article will reveal how you can firm up your saggy bum, eliminate excess fat from your stomach and slim your thighs.

Slim Your Waist

Before we discuss an exercise for the waist, one thing you should be aware of is that stress contributes to abdominal weight gain. Eliminate stress to aid weight loss around the waist.

Now for the exercise. Lie on your back with knees bent and hip-width apart and your feet flat on the floor. Bend up your leg so that your right ankle rests on your left knee. Place your hands on your temples and tuck in your chin to extend the length of the back of your neck.

Breathing out, draw your abdominal muscles towards your lower back and lift your left arm and shouldertowards your right knee. Don’t try to lift too high. Breathing in, return your elbow to the floor and repeat 10-12 times. Repeat on the other side.

Firm Your Butt

Lie on your back, knees bent and hip-width apart, feet flat on the floor, outside edges parallel, arms by your side with palms facing down. Draw your abdominal muscles towards your back throughout the movement.

Breathing in, engage the muscles in the buttocks and back of the thighs and raise the pelvis away from the floor. Hold at the top for one breath in and out. Roll down with the out-breath in a controlled manner. Repeat 10 times.

Tone Your Thighs

Lie on your front with your brow resting on your hands, feet together with a medium-sized ball placed between your thighs. Breathing in, draw your tummy muscles towards your spine. Feel a hollowing beneath your stomach, imagine a berry is placed there and you don’t want to squash it. Breathing out, squeeze your inner thighs and heels towards each other without engaging your buttocks. Hold the squeeze for one full breath in and out. Release and repeat about 10 times.

Many people like to get all their vitamins, minerals and antioxidants from food sources, but some like to boost their intake by taking various natural supplements and herbs which contain larger quantities of nutrients and plant compounds. Always consult a nutritional therapist to find out what supplements will work best for you and consult your GP if you are pregnant or on medication.

Beware of taking high doses of antioxidants. Sometimes they can act as pro-antioxidants which can damage the body and kickstart that anti-aging process, rather than slow it down. When getting vitamins, minerals and antioxidants from foods sources it’s almost impossible to overdose on them.

Improve your brainpower by taking the herb Ginkgo biloba. It has antioxidant properties and increases the elasticity of blood vessels so boosts circulation to the brain.

Calcium rich supplements are essential for reducing the risk of bone loss, energy production, metabolism and digestion. Calcium can also lower high blood pressure and keep heart and blood vessels healthy. Calcium can be found in many food sources, but can also be taken in supplement form. 1,000mg – 2,000mg is the recommended daily intake.

By training aerobically and boosting the efficiency of the cardiovascular system you are improving every part of the body function. Training with weights and strengthening muscles maintains good posture, bone density and joint mobility into old age. Here are six tips for a natural body rejuvenation through exercise.

1. Aim to exercise for at least half an hour at least five times per week. If you can, try to workout for an hour. If you can’t find time for an hour slot, then break it up into 20 minute sessions. At least two sessions per week should be resistance training, while the other three sessions should be cardio workouts, such as swimming, jogging or cycling.

2. Sometimes the enthusiasm associated with beginning a training programme causes you to launch whole-heartedly into your regime. This can cause injury and fatigue. Instead, start slowly and gradually build up the intensity at which you work.

3. Some people like to begin the day with a morning swim or a rejuvenating yoga session, others like to go for a run in the mid-afternoon and others like to exercise in the evening. Find a time that suits you best and exercise then.

4. Try to incorporate your workouts with your family and friends. Use your exercise time to spend time with your kids, friends and colleagues. Play tennis with your kids or have a game of football with your friends. This way you can socialise and workout your muscles.

5. When possible, exercise outdoors. Being outdoors gives a feeling of exhilaration, but also of peace and tranquillity. Get outside when you can. Go for a jog at dawn, a swim in the ocean, or have a yoga session in the park.

6. Workout in four stages. A gentle warm-up involving gentle jogging and stretching, aerobic or cardiovascular exercise to work the heart and lungs, strengthening exercises to work the muscles, and finally a cool down stretch.

Nettles have a long history of use in the home as a herbal remedy for curing all types of ailments. It has a bland flavour and can be added as a tonic to China tea. A tea made from the dried leaves has been used as a cleansing tonic and blood purifier. Nettle tea has been found to be a fantastic treatment for hayfever, arthritis and anemia.

Nettle infusion has also been found to be a valuable natural treatment for hemorrhoids, arthritis, rheumatism and skin complaints, such as eczema. As an external treatment, nettle has been used to treat skin conditions (such as burns), ease arthritic pain, ease sciatica and boost hair health.

When used for medicinal purposes, the plant should be harvested in May or June as it comes into flower and dried for use later on. Nettle has also been found to protect against kidney and urinary system conditions.

Nettles can be a very valuable addition to any diet. They are easily digestable and packed full of vitamins and minerals. Nettles are high in iron and vitamins A and C.

One hazard exists from nettle. The leaves of the plants have stinging hairs that can cause irritation to the skin. You can neutralise this by heating or thorough drying. Use only young leaves. Old leaves can develop gritty particles called cystoliths that irritate the kidneys.

Once we hit 30, age starts to take its toll on our skin. Colour and texture becomes less vibrant, wrinkles and sagging start to occur, pores enlarge, capillaries break around the cheeks and nose. Once we hit 40, age spots start appear on hands, cheeks and forehead. But there are things we can do to maintain our skin’s healthy glow into our 50s, 60s and beyond, and best of all… they’re all natural.

Promoting oxygen flow to the skin results in a visibly better skin tone. Learn to breathe deeply at a yoga class and take foods high in antioxidants to maximise the effects. Such foods include: kale, blackberries, broccoli, spinach and plums which all have a high oxygen radical absorbency capacity (ORAC)

Base your diet around skin saving vitamins. Consume fresh fruit and vegetables high in vitamins A, C and E. Vitamin C is essential for healing, skin cell regeneration and plumping. Vitamin E encourages circulation to promote radiance.

Hydration is essential for healthy, young looking skin. Dry skin makes wrinkles more obvious. Drink between 6-8 glasses of water daily to plump up skin, give hair gloss, flush out toxins from the system and relieve headaches that can lead to frown lines.

Apply moisture whilst still damp, immediately after you get out of the shower or the bath. This seals in the moisture and acts as a barrier to environmental conditions, such as wind. Essential fats are also important for retaining moisture. Consume foods such as sardines, mackerel, flaxseed, avocados, nuts and seeds. Use nut, seed and fruit oils for massage oils and body lotions.

As well as the above, avoid too much sun exposure, stop smoking, eliminate stress and prioritize beauty sleep to maintain optimum skin health and appearance.

Chives - or Allium schoenoprasum - bloom in May and June. Chives are not only an appealing herb for beautifying the garden, they have an array of health benefits, many of which will be discussed in this article.

Chives are part of a large species of strong smelling perennials that have underground stems or bulbs. This group of herbs are known as allium herbs and include chives, leeks, garlic and onions. They all have undeniable health benefits. The strong odour emitted from these herbs is due to a number of sulphur compounds such as alkyl sulphoxides and allyl sulphides. These sulphurs are reportedly beneficial for the circulatory, digestive and respiratory systems.

Chives come from the same ‘family’ as onions and garlic, but chives do not possess as much sulphur as the aforementioned. Therefore their health benefits are not so strong. Still, chives have been reported to have anti-cancer, anti-clotting, antibacterial, antiviral and decongestant properties. Studies have shown that a greater intake of allium vegetables is associated with lower risk of several types of cancers, especially stomach and prostate cancer.

The leaves of chives have been found to have a high antioxidant activity and are also packed full of flavanoids.

In Chinese herbal medicine, chives are used to control bleeding and to treat fatigue. The leaves can be applied to insect bites, cuts and wounds and the seeds used for treating problems associated with the kidney, liver and the digestive system. Chives have also been shown to help lower cholestrol when included in a balanced diet. They are rich in vitamin A and C and contain a small quantity of iron.

Chives have many health benefits and have no obvious side effects. They would be a welcome addition to any diet. Add it to yours!
