Seafood Lovers Diet Secret:
Santa Barbara is a beautiful California city, somewhere on the pacific coastline in between Los Angles and San Fransisco, however, this is Not a traveling blog, therefore I would like to mention the real reason why I mentioned Santa Barbara Bay. It is actually the name of a great seafood products company which I am absolutely in-love in their healthy, low fat and low calories Seafood Spread!
It is delicious and versatile spread, made from high-quality imitation crab with snow crab, bay shrimp, fresh celery, and some spice blend. It is a truly original and unique food product, has some wonderful nutritional benefits and most important thing- I can enjoy having it with some fresh celery sticks and keep up with my daily diet routine!!!
Yummmyy!!!
The Secret Power of Popcorn:
Seriously guys, one of the best secret I can share with you should be my `guilt free` nutrient snack, since you can`t always be in the mood for carrot or celery sticks, right?! A plain popcorn, my friends! It ranks the highest in the snacks category since contains natural fiber and whole grains which are great healthy benefits, and the good news is that according to a recent study many whole grains foods are as rich as fruits and vegetables in health promoting polyphenols which is a type of antioxidant. Now, why do I call it “guilt free”? that is because it contains no sodium or sugar, is a fat free snack and very much low in calories. Besides, even those calories it contains are well known as the healthy ones, so… it makes it a great, healthy choice!!! Enjoy, and don’t forget to go for the plain version when making you some, in order to keep your weight watching or diet routine…
The Healthy Secret to Start my Day:
Many of us do not take it too seriously if we don`t give the restrooms a visit at least once a day! It is very significant since our body should get ride of its dirt every day in order to prevent unnecessary gas problems, stomach ache, flatulence, the risk of hemorrhoids and many other health problems!
I was recommended by a nutritionist to mix half a glass of room temperature water with a half lemon freshly sqeezed juice and one spoon of olive oil then drink it on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning. This healthy “system cleanser”, as I call it, works like magic! so simple and so natural- try it yourself and you`d see how lighter and more comfortable you feel everyday, once you start drinking this healing mixture!
