Think fast!
Intermittent fasting has been in and out of the news for years now, but while it has its detractors,
the science behind it is actually pretty solid. It operates on the principle that we have evolved as
hunters, gatherers and foragers and as such our bodies have not evolved to cope with the
steady influx of calories available to us in modern times. Intermittent fasting advocates a
sensible, balanced diet but prescribes that you should keep your caloric intake limited to an
8 hour window every day, the rest of the day should be spent fasting. You should drink plenty of
water (black tea or coffee are fine too) and take a small dose of a healthy fat like a teaspoon of
coconut oil every now and then to combat cravings. Not only does this help to facilitate weight
loss it has other benefits including…

Say no to sag!
Nothing ages a woman faster than when her two best friends start to droop on her.
There are a number of ways in which you can deal with this even if your budget isn’t
conducive to calling Dr. K. Roxanne Grawe for a consultation. Your bra is your best friend
when it comes to preventing or mitigating sagging, so make sure that yours fits properly.
Building up your pectoral muscles with push ups, bench presses and flies will also help to
tighten up your chest. Make sure that you drink plenty of water, exfoliate regularly and eat lots
of the foods that will help to aid your skin’s elasticity.

Turn down the toxins (and power up with plants)
The odd candy bar and glass of wine isn’t going to break the bank, but years spent loading
up on toxins can take their toll, causing your body to age prematurely. Needless to say, cutting
down and alcohol and quitting smoking should be on your itinerary but you should also think
twice about your consumption of processed foods. A whole foods, plant based diet is one of
the best ways to keep the signs of aging at bay by loading your body with natural nutrients. The
former supermodel Christine Brinkley (61) insists that her vegan lifestyle has kept her looking
young, and looking at how little she’s changed over the past four decades it’s hard to argue
against her.
