Summer has arrived and we want to look fit and healthy, maybe losing a few kilos. There are many products that you can buy and that will help you lose weight, but there are also simple homemade tricks that you can use.
Citrus fruits are great for fitness and other body functions
Lemons, oranges, grapefruits, contain substances that help control weight because they favor the purification of the kidneys.
For example, bitter orange helps to:
1. maintain a normal weight;
2. fight against overweight;
3. manage weight;
4. metabolize fats;
5. promote fat burning.
In addition, bitter orange essential oil promotes normal sleep because it helps you relax you from the tensions accumulated during the day, while grapefruit oil helps to keep the intestines healthy. Lemon on the other hand optimizes fat and cholesterol metabolism, and supports liver health.
Remember that all citrus fruits contribute to the optimal maintenance of the immune system.
There are also other natural products that can help you maintain a healthy weight, such as licorice, sage, anise, ginger, flaxseed. These all can keep your hunger under control.
Obviously, to maintain a healthy weight it is not enough to eat citrus fruits or other recommended herbs, you have to adopt a healthy lifestyle, which includes not only eating and sleeping well, but also doing physical activity. The diet alone can’t do miracles, while combined with a sport or even a daily walk at a fast pace will allow you to regain shape more quickly.
A small warning. If you are overweight and want to lose weight, consult a doctor or nutritionist. These tips are aimed at people who want to lose a couple of pounds and feel fit for the summer.
