My tips for weight loss

Maintaining the proper pH balance in your body may sound difficult, but it is quite simple. Your body needs to maintain a slightly alkaline environment to survive and thrive. Adjust your diet to eat more of the foods that have an alkaline effect on your body. This does not mean you should avoid acid producing foods, just limit them. Your diet should not cause your body to become too alkaline or too acidic. It’s all about balance. In general, you should aim for 75-80 percent alkaline foods and 20-25 percent acid foods. Alkaline foods are mostly vegetables like asparagus, artichokes, lettuce, onion, peas, spinach, carrots, green beans, and broccoli. Fruits include lemon, tomato, avocado, and grapefruit. Other alkaline foods are sprouts, legumes, nuts, seeds, herbal tea, and vegetable juice. To maintain pH balance, you should eat a minimal amount of acid forming foods.

Exercising  30 minutes a day is essential. To make this easier, find an activity that you enjoy doing and why not think of it as “playing.” everything you do, whether it’s walking,playing with your pet, or washing the car, burns calories. Look for things that you will enjoy during your work out. Such as the beautiful weather, the park, or just be grateful that you can and are capable of performing a activity.  Join a gym or recreational center or walk in your local mall. If you’re  intimidated to work out in front of others, buy or rent a walking DVD,  For every excuse that you decide to come up with, there will be a way to get around it .

Today I would like to talk about green tea, and how the benefits help with our dieting on a day to day schedule. Green tea's antioxidants, called catechins, scavenge for free radicals that can damage DNA and contribute to cancer, blood clots, and atherosclerosis . Grapes and berries, red wine, and dark chocolate also have potent antioxidants. Green’s antioxidants are dilators, because they improve the flexibility of blood vessels and make them less vulnerable to clogging -- and antioxidant-rich blueberries and pomegranates do the same. Because of green tea's minimal processing -- its leaves are withered and steamed, not fermented like black and oolong teas -- green tea's unique catechins, especially epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), are more concentrated.
