How are your New Year resolutions doing? Yes, the ones you did in January and kept in your  drawer or wallet. We continue to work on our resolution of a healthy body and going to the gym every day (sigh). But cheer up! It is easier than you think and you still have time to keep it with us.

Yes, we know, there are only 2 months left and you may believe it is impossible, but it is not … In this article, you will find tips that will help you get into that killer dress you want to use during these Holidays.

First thing’s first…

Getting ready to look radiant for Christmas is ok, but we must think about doing it in a healthier way that allows us to keep the results all year round and obtain extra benefits.

Doing some exercise during the week is a tip that will never stop being fashionable. Imagine your body works like the gears of a machine. If you do not keep it moving, your parts can rust and get damaged early, and it will be more difficult to start a new cycle.

You don’t have to become a gym addict to be fit. Go dancing, practice yoga, enjoy a day at the beach and the activities that a tropical island has for you. You do not need to train locked in a room if you do not want to. The world is your training ground!

Another tip you should always keep in mind is staying hydrated. Did you know water is one of the most important nutrients? It is involved in almost every function, and we lose two liters a day!

Water lubricates, moisturizes, dampens, regulates, dissolves, and is part of virtually all processes in our body. You may not think so, but drinking water will help you detoxify your body, lose weight, and be healthier.

Healthy skin and hair

Collagen is the most abundant protein in our body. This protein is responsible for keeping our skin  toned, hydrated and elastic.

Collagen works as the “glue” of our body. It keeps the cells together and thus the skin retains its tonicity and elasticity.

Collagen is also part of connective tissues such as joints, muscles, ligaments, and cartilage (source: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/collagen#section6).

This glue is even responsible for the healthy look of our nails and hair (source: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/collagen-for-hair#section2). Do you want to have beauty queen hair? You know where to start!

However, after reaching 25 years we tend to lose between 1 and 1.25% per year of the collagen in our body. If we do not take care of this, wrinkles will begin to appear, we will feel more tired and our hair and nails will lose their shine and strength.

How to rock radiant skin and hair for the holidays?

Meals such as broths with cartilage, animal jelly, chicken, fish and pork skins, and pig’s trotters are rich in collagen.

But when was the last time you tried any of them?

Collagen is not only difficult to absorb, it is also found in foods that we eat with little regularity or are not so easy to prepare.

Luckily, taking collagen supplements has proven to be more than useful and with scientifically proven benefits (source: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/collagen-benefits)

Including supplements as part of your diet will help you recover the collagen lost by age. Also, it will stimulate the production of fibrillin and elastin, proteins that also benefit the health of your skin.

There are supplements such as the Multi Collagen Protein Beauty Within – Watermelon Basil with nutrients that will help you repair skin damage just on time for the holidays. This supplement even has antioxidant properties and will help you maintain intestinal health.

Other supplements such as the Liquid Collagen Skin Revitalization are loaded with biotin, which is considered  the essential nutrient of beauty.

You will not need makeup to speak for you at your meetings! Let your natural skin be the center of attention.

Get a cover girl figure

We already talked about the importance of keeping our body moving. The best time to start exercising is now, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Do not forget, a good exercise routine must be accompanied by a balanced diet.

But no, a balanced diet does not mean starving to get into that dress that makes your legs look so good …

Vegetables, fruits, grains, proteins and dairy are the main 5 food groups you should base your diet on. A balanced diet is one that includes the necessary amount of nutrients and calories. (source: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/324093.php)

There are diets such as the Keto diet, which changes the percentages of nutrients your body can use to help you lose weight quickly. Basically, your body enters into a state of ketosis and goes from obtaining energy from carbohydrates to getting it from fat.

The Keto diet is more than just a diet, it is a whole new lifestyle that we invite you to discover with us.  The best of all is that even during the Holidays you can taste delicious and varied dishes full of flavor like those presented by Samantha Lauriello (source https://www.health.com/food/best-keto-christmas-dinner-recipes)

A change in metabolism may be something that requires a little more time so you can think about it and prepare yourself, but this does not mean that there are no other healthy alternatives to achieve that rocking body.

There are natural nutritional supplements that will help you lose weight quickly and in a healthy way. You can eat your favorite dishes without problem while you exercise and lose weight.

Natural pills such as Slim Extreme will reduce your appetite, increase your resistance, improve your mood and even keep you focused.

The main ingredients of this supplement include: Chromium Polynicotinate (stylizes your body); Garcinia Cambogia (suppresses appetite); green tea (burns fat and stimulates metabolism); sour orange (stimulates the release of stored fat so that it becomes energy); willow bark (contributes to fat metabolism); Cola nut (acts as a diuretic and suppresses appetite); caffeine (accelerates metabolism); pentatonic acid (part of the synthesis of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats), and; L-carnitine (reduces fatigue and increases muscle mass).

You will look better than a model with that special dress!  The best part of all, you can do it while still enjoying your favorite dishes.

A dazzling body is more than just a holiday thing, it’s about your habits and how they can start changing your life from now on. If you want to change your life, start by changing your habits.

The beauty that endures goes beyond physical appearance. These new habits will give you a new lifestyle so that you are healthy, look good, and feel good. 

At Nature’s Discount we will toast with you this Christmas and we will continue walking by your side on this path towards a healthier life. Cheers!
