HEALTH TIP – Anti-Sumo Wrestlers Diet (Smaller healthier meals later in the day)

There is only one sport where they actually aim to gain as much body fat as possible: Sumo Wrestling. Since Sumo Wrestlers have mastered the art of getting fat, we are going to do the opposite of their five most “unhealthy” diet tips. According to their philosophy – here is the fourth thing every wrestler must do to get fat. Sumo Wrestler Goal #4 – Eat late in the day. Going to bed with full stomachs means that their bodies must respond to the huge flood of nutrients with a rush of insulin, forcing their bodies to store the food as fat. Your 4th Goal – Eat healthier at night. Instead of eating large meals, fast food or junk food late at night, try to eat a smaller meal past 6 pm and a few healthy snacks as an alternative. This will prevent your body from raising insulin levels and storing excess carbs as fat overnight.

HOME TIP – 27 Item Fling

This is a quick tip to help you declutter your home. Do this as fast as you can. Take a garbage bag and walk through your home and throw away 27 items. Do not stop until you have collected all 27 items. Then close the garbage bag and pitch it. DO NOT LOOK IN IT!!! Just do it. Next, take an empty box or bag and go through your home collecting 27 items to give away. As soon as you finish filling the box or bag, save it for Free for Fall (in September). Hint, if you have two of any item and you only need one, get rid of the least desirable. ]]>
