Overnight Overhauls

How to boost your body in 24 hours!

~ Book a Massage ~

A study published in the Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics and Gynecology showed that regular pampering can combat water retention. 

~ Breakfast Bonus ~

Your metabolism works best in the morning (so mum was right when she went on about it being the most important meal of the day). Eating a big meal first thing and easing off portion sizes throughout the day can help fire up your metabolism.

~ Brush Baby ~

Dry skin brushing can help break up the toxic fatty deposits that cause cellulite, leaving your skin looking firmer. Brush upwards daily to reap the results.

~ Feeding Your Skin ~

Moisturise the night before and the next morning to leave your skin feeling super soft and hydrated

~ Say No To Sugar ~

Too much sugar can cause havoc on your skin and can lead to breakouts JUST when you really don't want them. If you're keen to see a difference with your skin, cut down on the sugar over a few weeks

~ Water, Water, Water ~

Replace your day's regular tea and coffee with 2 litres of water for clearer skin and eyes. Apart from boosting your metabolism and brightening your skin, it will help you stay hydrated and is normally the solution to when you feel the need to eat when bored.

~ Salt ~

Eating too much salt can lead to water retention leaving you looking puffy and feeling less than fab. If in doubt, try to flush it out with lots of water.

~ Burn Baby Burn ~

According to studies, green tea can boost your metabolism, which in turn can boost your fat burn. There's nothing wrong with drinking up to three cups in a period of 24 hours.

~ Bloat's Away ~

Try to avoid food that brings on bloating.

Yeast is a huge culprit, so don't go near bread, vegemite, or other fermented items like alcohol.

~ Getting Sweaty With It ~

Putting a high intensity workout into your lunch break will not only blast the kilojoules long after you've stopped, but the endorphin rush will leave you feeling awesome.
