Banishing Belly Bloat… We’ve All Felt It!

Banishing belly bloat: algae’s minerals have a diuretic effect that stimulates the body to decrease water retention and expel toxins. Why am I telling you this? Because I have this cool tip for you on how to get rid of belly bloat. Just soak 6 dried seaweed sheets in water for 5 minutes; place them on your tummy and cover with plastic wrap. Leave on for 10 minutes; remove. Then you can use my My Zen Skin Care’s Chen Pi Body Oil to do belly Gua Sha. It can help your stomach look flatter. I can also give you this treatment at both my Denver and Littleton locations.

While your metabolism may not be as lightning fast as it was when you were a teenager, you can give it a dramatic boost by just taking a deep breath before eating.

Spending 2 minutes pre-meal breathing deeply cuts stress hormone (cortisol) release which scientists at Harvard say allows your body’s mitochondria to convert more food into energy before it gets stored as fat! It’ll help strengthen your lungs too.

Did you know that for many years the American Heart Association has recommended that people eat fish rich in unsaturated fats at least twice a week? The unsaturated fats in fish are called omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients in fish may benefit heart health and reduce the risk of dying of heart disease. The omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil have various potential health benefits, one of which is aiding weight loss. However, studies have found these effects appear to be modest, and they may not apply to everyone. What are other benefits?

1. It has lots of important nutrients

2. May lower risk of heart attack and stroke

3. May boost brain health

4. May help prevent and treat depression

5. Helps you get vitamin D

6. May reduce your risk of autoimmune diseases

7. May help protect your vision

8. May improve sleep.

I hope you have a great day!
