wellbeing Have You Got The Balls? wellbeing with Jacquie Dale www.realnutrition.co.nz The Right Way to Diet Take advantage of D.I.T (diet induced thermogenisis). By eating smaller meals more often your body will actually burn more calories. Include protein with every meal. Protein plays a key role in controlling appetite, so including foods that contains protein will help you lose weight. Protein also helps prevent your body breaking down muscle tissue. If you are breaking down muscle you will not be burning much fat. Taking your daily calories down too low will trigger the starvation response and inhibit fat burning. Women shouldn't consume less than 1400 calories daily without supervision. For your skin, supplement with Omega 3 fish oil, a high strength multi-vitamin and Vitamin C. If you are trying to lose weight you will be deficient in optimal levels of these nutrients. Finally, drink more water and eat larger servings of fresh vegetables. Focus on your fitness goals and you will look and feel better in your clothes. Fight Obesity With Tea Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), this is the somewhat magical compound naturally occurring in green tea. Penn Sate University scientists have tested its magic on mice. Two groups of mice were fed a high fat diet. Mice that received EGCG, or green tea, gained weight at a much slower rate, compared to the control group. To experience this ourselves we'd have to drink 10 cups a day to match the study. However recent studies indicate that one or more cups a day may help with weight control. EGCG enhances the way the body uses fat and seems to reduce absorption. Married Bliss Getting married or newly wed? Several studies suggest that in the first two years of married life couples gain, on average, two and a half kilos. You may have worked hard to look great in that wedding dress, but those healthy habits need to continue after the honeymoon. Couples who undertake a lifestyle change together prior to the wedding find they pick up healthy habits that last a lifetime. Make your fitness goals a priority. If you lack motivation and need support enlist the help of a personal trainer for the first three or four weeks – it takes 21 days to acquire a new habit so making yourself accountable will ensure you keep to your programme. 90 | www.hermagazine.co.nz Rosehip Oil Want a glowing complexion?

Rosehip Oil comes from either the seeds of the hip (Rosa Moschata) or from the berry like fruit (Rosa Canina), which are what remain after the petals fall off the Rose Plant. The oil is extremely high in skin-loving nutrients like Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fats plus beta-carotene, which is a key nutrient for skin renewal and repair.
