Fitness Tip: Don’t buy home equipment
Here is my thing- do not but exercise equipment at your house because you just won’t use it. People spend thousands of dollars to have elliptical machines, weight benches and ab rockets. Most of you use this equipment for a week and then it becomes a very expensive drying reach for your laundry And there is a reason. You must have a dedicated area to work out in. A gym requires you to dedicate your time to working out. If you go, you will work out. If you are home, you will be distracted. Someone will call you, you will see that your floor needs vacuuming or that I really like my comfy bed and would rather be on it. So skip the equipment. Pay your monthly membership in a gym. It is worth it in the long run.

Food Tip: Spicy before salt
It is a little known fact that adding some heat makes the craving salt a little less. It makes sense. Salt is a flavor enzyme and makes flavors more alive. Spice makes taste buds wake up So instead of adding salt, which cause water retention and bloating, add some chili flakes.
