MGapril2014 With the warm weather already here, everyone is starting to think about those bathing suits. As a trainer, I often get asked “what can I do to improve my core” or “I want a six pack.” I like to educate my clients and let them know that abs are created in the kitchen, in fact 80% of our appearance comes from the food we eat. Check out these 12 foods and their benefits that can help speed up that metabolism, burn fat and flatten those bellies. ABS DIET POWER A Almonds and Other Nuts (with skins intact): Builds muscle, reduces cravings, fights obesity, heart disease, muscle loss, wrinkles, cancer and high blood pressure. B Beans and Legumes: Builds muscle, helps burn fat, regulates digestion, fights obesity, colon cancer, heart disease and high blood pressure. S Spinach and Other Green Vegetables: Neutralizes free radicals (molecules that accelerate the aging process), fights cancer, heart disease, stroke, obesity and osteoporosis. D Dairy Products (nonfat or low-fat milk, yogurt, cheese): Builds strong bones, fires up weight loss, fights osteoporosis, obesity, high blood pressure and cancer.

What goes into our mouth accounts for 80% of how we look and 20% is about our fitness.
