TO LOSE WEIGHT
Losing weight is a matter of eating fewer calories than you burn. To do this
means knowing how many calories you use in a day. To work it out, multiply your
weight in
kilograms by 0.9 and multiply that total by 24. This is how many
calories you use to fuel your body every day. Of course, moving around also uses
calories and you need to account for these. If you have a sedentary job
and do no exercise add 25 per cent to that figure, if you have a sedentary job
but exercise hard for at least 30 minutes a day add 40 per cent to that figure,
if you are in a very active job or exercise heavily add 60 per cent.
This is how many calories you use day, and eating 500 fewer than this a day
will mean a safe weight loss of half a kilogram a week. For the best
results you should follow a diet high in fruit and vegetables and low in fat,
with moderate
protein and carbohydrate intake. Try following the
plate portion
rule for every meal ensure half of your plate is fruit or vegetables (not
including potatoes), the other half part lean protein (white meat, fish, low
fat dairy products, tofu, beans or pulses) and part carbohydrate (bread,
pasta, rice, potatoes, couscous).

TO BEAT FLUID RETENTION
Fluid retention hits most women prior to their periods. It leads to a
bloated belly,
swollen painful breasts, and for some women swollen fingers and
face too. The cure for it is probably not what you think-you need to drink
water and eat more water- filled foods. Fluid retention is caused when the body
is triggered into thinking water is short so it holds fluid in the body; however;
if you are constantly supplying it with water this doesn't happen. Also, avoid
diuretic substances (like caffeine and alcohol) and be very careful about your
salt intake. Salt dramatically increases fluid retention. Finally, many women
find evening primrose oil help fight fluid retention. Take a supplement every
day.

TO PROTECT YOUR SKIN
Never leaving the house without
sunscreen should be number-one beauty rule,
but
you can also build your own sunscreen by loading up your body with anti-oxidant nutrients like vitamins
A,
C and
E.
Recent American research showed that eating 10 portions of fruit and vegetables
(particularly those colored red, yellow or oranges) every day for six weeks
helped build an anti-oxidant layer under the skin that was equivalent to SPF4
sunscreen. While this doesn't mean you can go without your UV screen, it will
help mop up any rays that do get through-plus, those nutrients have many other
important functions in the body, so they won't go to waste.
