Fasting Tips

Here are some points to keep in mind about eating during this holy month:

• Soda and coffee dehydrate your body, which can also sap your energy. Drinking water, organic herbal teas and probiotic liquids provide energy and hydration. *cough*laialyandchikapappi*cough*
• To get the most out of your food, you need to chew properly and take your time.
• We’re used to drinking while we eat, but that’s not the natural way our digestive system works. Avoid drinking lots of liquids 20-30 minutes before and after your meals as liquids interfere with your ability to properly breakdown food.
• Eat complex carbohydrate foods (such as barley, wheat, oats, semolina, lentils, flour, rice, beans, potatoes and fruit) because they lasts longer making you less hungry.

When you lose fat, it comes from your total fat reserves, and you have no control over what part of the body those fat reserves will come from. Spot exercises can tone and strengthen muscles in specific areas. But, aerobic exercise — such as brisk walking, jogging, cycling, or aerobic dance, for example — is the best way to burn fat. The bottom line: You’ll burn more fat from if you take a brisk 20-minute walk than if you do 100 sit-ups.
