Exercise Tip: Bicycle Crunches, Single Leg Reach and Double Leg Reach are exercises that work your Transverse Abdominus. These are the fibers that wrap around your belly like a belt acting as a corset pulling in your low belly and supporting your lower back.

Nutrition Tip: Replace your table salt with Pink Himalayan Salt. Table salt has been chemically treated and all of the minerals and nutrients have been removed and all you are left with is sodium chloride which is poisonous to your cells. Whole pink Himalayan salt that has not been processed is amazing for your body and actually helps balance your body’s Ph levels plus much more. Pink Himalayan Salt is healing to your body.
