Take Care Of Your Body

Well, the first days of summer have begun, and now more than ever we all want to look our best!


If you are not 100% happy with the look, shape and feel of your body, food can become a source of discomfort, confusion and consequences rather than a vehicle for nourishment and enjoyment.


“When you have a poor body image, you may be driven to diet, have difficulty enjoying food and restrict your food intake in unhealthy ways,” says Susan Albers, PsyD, a clinical psychologist at the Cleveland Clinic and author of Eating Mindfully: How to End Mindless Eating and Enjoy a Balanced Relationship with Food.


Paying attention to what, when and why you eat will not only lead to greater satisfaction, but your jeans and summer clothes may fit better too! Let's look at some of the positive things you can be doing immediately to take care of your body:


STOP Unhealthy Snacking

Kick the cookies and unhealthy snacks to the curb. Focus on eating small, nutritious snacks, like nuts, in the late morning and afternoon for a boost.


DROP Unwanted Pounds

Begin moderate exercise such as walking to help get rid of any extra weight. Track your steps and see how far you can go with a pedometer ~ aim for 10,000 steps a day for maximum benefit!


GO FOR Tighter Abs

You can strengthen your core and improve your body image through abdominal work. An exercise ball will help you sculpt your abs and tone your arms and legs - and you can do it from the comfort of your home.
