Protect your skin!

Now that the weather is warmer, everyone is outside more often, which has its benefits and downfalls. Most people’s ideas of looking good during the summer months includes slimming down for those teeny tiny bikinis and getting a golden tan. However, the sun can be very dangerous to your skin if you aren’t wearing sunscreen. UVB rays from the sun are known to cause skin cancer, premature aging of the skin, blotchiness, leathery skin, wrinkles, and much more. Being healthy isn’t just watching what you eat and exercising, it’s about taking care of your body inside and out. We recommend using at minimum SPF15 sunscreen, and reapplication if you plan on being outdoors for an extended period of time. It’s your body, so treat it right and protect it as much as possible!

Our top 3 supplement picks to assist in weight loss

There are numerous supplements out there that are going to promise you a quick fix, but it is very important to pay attention to what you are putting into your body. Chances are if you can’t pronounce the majority of the ingredients, the product is probably not very good for your body. The most effective way to lose weight is going to be exercising regularly and changing your eating habits. However, here are our top 3 suggestions if you are going to choose a supplement to help assist you in your weight loss efforts.

 

Raspberry ketones

These are great to add into your diet if you are looking to shed weight a little bit faster. They help regulate adiponectin, which is protein that your body uses to help regulate metabolism. Raspberry ketones can help break down the fat that is stored in your cells, a little bit faster. The recommended dosage is 100mg a day, and to consume that through diet alone, you would have to eat 90 lbs. of raspberries a day!

Green Coffee Bean Extract

Most weight loss supplements are loaded with caffeine and tons of other chemicals that you can barely pronounce, but, surprisingly, green coffee bean only has about 20mg of caffeine. The key to its effective weight loss assistance is the compound in it known as chlorogenic acid, which inhibits the release of glucose stores in the body, and also helps boost your metabolism at the same time.

Olive Oil

Olive oil can be a very powerful tool in helping you lose that little bit of extra belly fat that has been bugging you for years. Olive oil is high in monounsaturated fats, which numerous studies have shown is linked to a great reduction in abdominal obesity, heart disease, and diabetes.
