\nBe a Copy Cat.<\/strong>
\nDo stretching exercises when you wake up like\u00a0our pets do. It boosts circulation & digestion.<\/p>\n
\nDon\u2019t skip breakfast<\/strong>.\u00a0This is one of the most\u00a0positive things if you\u2019re trying to lose weight. A\u00a0balanced breakfast is a fresh juice, high-fiber\u00a0cereal, low-fat milk or yogurt, whole wheat\u00a0toast, and a boiled egg.<\/p>\n
\nExercise your brain<\/strong>.\u00a0Activate your brain by\u00a0bringing new pathways to the brain which\u00a0strengthens circuits. An example is if you\u2019re\u00a0right-handed, brush your teeth with your left\u00a0hand. Try performing tasks with your opposite\u00a0hand. People with mental agility tend to have\u00a0lower rates of Alzheimer\u2019s and mental decline.

\nBlueberries rival grapes in concentration of
\nResveratrol, which is the compound found in
\nred wine. Resveratrol is believed to help
\nprotect against heart disease and cancer. Maybe
\nNeil Diamond was right when he sang about
\n\u201cRed, Red Wine\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nTomato\/Tomatoes?<\/strong> They are superstars!\u00a0Tomatoes contain Lycopene which is a\u00a0powerful cancer fighter. Another benefit is
\nthey are rich in vitamin C. Even if they\u2019re\u00a0cooked, they are still as nutritious as ever. The\u00a0British Thoracic Society advises that both\u00a0tomatoes and apples can\u00a0reduce the risk of chronic\u00a0lung diseases.<\/p>\n
\nWorkout with weights first<\/strong>. Experts say\u00a0weight training should be done first because\u00a0it\u2019s a higher intensity compared to cardio.\u00a0Your body handles weight training better\u00a0early in the workout because you\u2019re fresh\u00a0and you have the energy to work it. Experts\u00a0also advise cardiovascular exercise should\u00a0be the last thing you do at the gym because\u00a0it helps your body recover by increasing\u00a0blood flow to the muscles and flushes out\u00a0lactic acid, which can build up in the\u00a0muscles while you\u2019re weight training.<\/p>\n
