Giving Your Body a Boost!

Before we get to the material stuff that make you look good, let's get to the root, your health. At the end of the day, even if your couture is spot on but you have bags under your eyes and have unhealthy fat that shows at all the wrong places, you're never really going to look good. So here are some good tips to make your clothes look better, i.e. make YOU look good!

1.TEST-DAY BREAKFAST
You're rushing out the door on an exam day or using those final minutes before college to cram, but research actually shows that your brain will perform better if you eat a breakfast that has healthy carbs and protein! (Whole wheat + fruit + dairy = 99%!)

2. INSTA-ENERGY SNACKS
After college, you're tempted to grab Lays or Perk for a quick shot of energy to get you through tuitions or class. But the combo of natural sugar and fiber in fruit gives you the energy that hits you just as fast but lasts longer!
e.g. Try sandwiching slices of apple with peanut butter in between!
     
       Also try making a homemade fruit smoothie!
Ingredients:
1 cup strawberries
3/4 cup skim milk
Ice cubes

3. POWER MEALS
If you feel drained 24/7, its time to break up with starchy junk food and start flirting with these real meals. Their iron (from lean meat) and B vitamins (from broccoli or whole grains like chapati or multi-grain bread) will give you real lasting energy.
