The balloon is a very profitable source of exercise because its unstable surface forces you to involve more muscles to keep your balance. Thus the core muscles (abs and back) are covered as well as those subject to the exercise. For example, rather than stand up to perform upper body exercises, sit on the ball and do the same movements. The balloon is careful at home and there is a wide variety of DVDs to help you in your exercises.
2. Turn the camera off
We all want to know what will happen in CSI. But a study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention agency concluded that people who spend four hours or more in front of their TV or computer were more exposed than others to fatten. In short, leave the screen and go through the door!
3. Give a new look to gluttony
"When we see food we like, we are terribly tempted to eat, says Dr. Alain Dagher, a neurologist attached to the Institute and the Montreal Neurological Hospital. Unfortunately, our instinct is to see in high-calorie foods a natural means of survival if food became scarce or difficult to find, "he says. To counter this survival reflex must multiply the force of attraction of the poor calorie foods finding their qualities.
4. Take a nap
In Japan, many people make every day a nap from 20 to 30 minutes, says James Maas, specializing in sleep research at Cornell University and author of Power Sleep. There is more and more evidence that chronic lack of sleep increases the risk of gaining weight. James Maas mentions two hormones, leptin, which helps the brain to know when we have eaten enough, and ghrelin, which stimulates appetite. However, the less you sleep, the more leptin levels are low and those high ghrelin. "Many people think they are hungry when they sleep, says James Maas and do not need to eat, but rather to sleep."
5. Eat more pickles
In Hungary, people eat pickles to lose weight. Hungarians like pickled dish, not just cucumbers but bell peppers, cabbage and tomatoes. All these foods can keep you thin, probably because of the vinegar with which they are prepared. It knows better than acetic acid, the basis of vinegar helps lower blood pressure, sugar levels in the blood and fat formation. But if you are watching your sodium intake, look good the label of these products: pickled foods may contain a lot of salt.
