Summer Slimdown Guide: Instant self-confidence boosters

woman in mirrorHave you taken a peek at our Summer Slimdown Guide yet? It's full of tips for a healthy and fit summer. We didn't forget (and we hope you don't either) that losing weight isn't just a numbers game. For many people, a lack of self-confidence is a contributing factor to weight gain. When you don't feel good about yourself, you're less likely to take care of yourself and, in time, extra pounds can creep up on you.

Taking care of your health -- both physically and emotionally -- is important. When you care for your own well-being, you're better able to manage your life effectively and energetically and you're better able to care for your loved ones. If your self-esteem could use a little boost, try some of these ideas:

  • Meditate. Taking a few moments each day to re-center will help you to feel better about yourself.
  • Pamper yourself. Schedule periodic "pampering" treatments -- get a facial or a massage, visit a spa, or get a pedicure.
  • Associate with supportive friends. Spend time with those who make you laugh, those you can count on for support, and who love you unconditionally.
  • Live healthfully. Eating right and exercising don't only improve the health of your body, they improve your mind and spirit as well.
  • Do something for others. Put yourself and your needs aside occasionally and do something for others -- it's amazing how focusing on someone else's needs can give your self-confidence a huge boost.
Check out the gallery for more info. And be sure to read through the Summer Slimdown Guide -- it's chock full of tips to help you finish the summer season in style.

If you're feeling like a bloated whale after eating your way through chips 'n dip, burgers and cherry pie at the bbq, check out this simple digestive cleanse from our Summer Slimdown Guide.

Here are five scouring foods to consider from naturopathic doctor and nutrition specialist, Cathy Wong. These five are part of a two to three week comprehensive digestive cleanse aimed at first-timers:

  • Fresh Fruits and Vegetables: About 40 percent of your diet should derive from this category.
  • Nuts and Seeds: Stay away from the salted variety, and no peanuts!
  • Quinoa: Expand your kitchen repertoire with this complete protein.
  • Water: Drink lots and add lemon, but stay away from caffeine.
  • Beans: High in cleansing fiber.

As you get ready to reduce the bloat and say "Aah..." during your digestion vacation, discover more about each of these power foods in the gallery below.
