Keep Your Belly Beach Ready With These Quick Fixes

beach ready

Do you ever take a beach vacation and look snatched on day one, but more like Winnie The Pooh by day three? You’re not the only one. What we eat and how we live daily can make us look and feel 10 pounds heavier or lighter. There are steps we can take every day to keep our bellies under control and be beach-ready at the drop of a dime.

H20, 24/7

First and foremost, you should be keeping your water intake at an all-time high. Water can make all your dreams come true: less bloat, less hunger, more energy, clearer skin, and the list goes on from there.

But for the belly, water is essential to help you flush out your digestive tract, keep you regular, avoid starvation, and keep your belly trim. Find yourself a water bottle and keep it full all day long. Drink and refill from sun up to sun down to help you hang on to that flat stomach.

Start to work these foods into your regular diet to reap all the flat tummy rewards:

Apple Cider Vinegar: Add this to your salads, veggies or your first glass of water in the morning.
