On How To Keep That Flab At Bay

> Exercise regularly. It helps you stay fit, flexible and improves blood circulation. Do a combination of stretch exercises, along with cardiovascular and some strength training.

> Do a lot of deep breathing exercises. Most of us don't breathe right and that causes a lot of health problems.

> Don't starve yourself but try and eat as healthy as possible. Avoid red meat and trans fats which are found in cakes and biscuits. Everyone has a tendency to munch on biscuits when they are hungry. Switch to a healthier snack like soya chaklis or peanuts.

> Avoid white processed foods like sugar, salt, white bread and white rice.

> Supplement your diet with a good amount of proteins like soya, chicken, eggs, fish, paneer and tofu.

> Stay well hydrated by consuming lots of water, rgeen tea and a variety of vegetable juices. I read somewhere that green tea washes out the oil in the body.

> Never sleep on a full stomach. Have your dinner at least two to three hours prior to your bedtime. Oily and heavy dishes are taboo at night.

> Get the necessary right hours of sleep. That helps your body regenerate cells. If your body is rested, it will work better towards staying healthy.

> Go for massages when you can. They help relax your stressed muscles. A deep tissue massage can do wonders to refresh and uplift you.

> Above all, always feel good about yourself no matter what size you are!
