SUPERFOODS FOR BRIDES-TO-BE.

Bride-to-be

Increasing your exercise levels to help you shape up before your special day is fantastic, but it really is only half the story. In order to look healthy on the outside, as well as feel healthy on the inside, you need to feed your body with the nutrients it requires.

To help maintain a lower weight and boost your energy levels, make sure you include these top five superfoods into your pre-wedding diet. These will help to ensure your body is getting what it needs in preparation for the big day.

  1. Spinach
    Low in calories and packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. This super-slimmer helps boost liver detoxification. It cleanses your body of unwanted toxins, which is critical for weight loss.
  2. Yoghurt
    Natural yoghurt is a great source of probiotics, which help keep belly fat at bay. It is also high in protein, which is proven to keep you fuller for longer.
  3. Salmon
    This oily fish is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which help your body burn fat at a faster rate. An increased intake of these ‘good’ oils will also lubricate the skin from the inside to give you a radiant glow.
  4. Lentils
    Not only are lentils a great protein-based meat alternative, they’re packed with weight-loss boosting fibre. And what’s more, they also help regulate blood sugar levels and boost energy.
  5. Green Tea
    OK, strictly speaking it’s not a food, but green tea is well known for its super-powered fat-burning qualities. Crammed full with antioxidants it’s great news for the tummy. It can also help to lift your mood with just enough caffeine to give you a buzz.
