2015’s HANGOVER CURE

Maybe you have some self-control with the bubbly, or maybe you don’t. Either way, a green juice can definitely help you on January 1^st.

Green juice is an incredible hangover remedy-- 

way better than any cheeseburger and fries combo out there!

dehydration cure = green juice

electrolyte imbalance cure = green juice

headache cure = green juice

tummy and digestive issues cure = green juice

Try these ingredients below in your hangover green juice to rejuvenate after a long New Year’s celebration:

Kale, Spinach, Parsley, Ginger, Lemon, Grapefruit

Why?

*Because greens like spinach, kale, and parsley are best for liver detoxification. They provide potassium and magnesium to hydrate, and bounce your B levels back up after they’ve been depleted by alcohol consumption.

*Grapefruit and Lemon help restore electrolytes and the Vitamin C helps repair damage cells and stimulate the liver.

*Ginger is one of our favorite anti-inflammatory nutrients. It also helps calm the gut and eliminates headaches.

So whether you’re nursing a headache on the 1^st or not, grab something green to get your New Year going great!

Glow Bio Cleanse (Just in time for Memorial Day Weekend)

Hi Everyone, Happy Monday!

Everyone here at Pilates Platinum is a big fan of Glow Bio. We recently featured the Melrose retail location as a perfect post-pilates hang out, and we’ve been enjoying green juices and smoothies off the menu all month long. After falling in love with Kimberly Snyder’s nutritious bio-available products, and cooking out of her NY Times Best Selling book, The Beauty DetoxFoods: Discover the Top 50 Superfoods That Will Transform Your Body and Reveal a More Beautiful You, we’ve decided to try our very own 3 Day Glow Bio Cleanse!

Glow Bio boasts renewed energy, a more svelte and toned physique, and glowing, radiant skin as just some of the results from one of their cleanse options. It's as if they read our minds! We also chose a Glow Bio cleanse because all of the cleanses are developed with the Glow Bio Process, (read about that here) and are full of ingredients that are “pre-hydrated, activated/sprouted, property combined and enhanced with probiotics.” The combination of Glow Bio Juices, Smoothies, and Boosters, will kick out toxins, help digestion, and reset our body!

Glow Bio offers 1 Day, 3 Day, and 5 Day cleanses, in either Level 1 (a bit more gentle, great if you want to stay active) or Level 2 (a little deeper).

We signed up for the 3 Day, Level 1 Cleanse and can’t wait to report back on our 3 day adventure! Starting Tuesday through Thursday—just in time to feel our best for Memorial Day Weekend! Stay tuned every day this week for our Glow Bio Cleanse updates.

You can join in on the fun, too. Visit Glow Bio’s website to order your own custom cleanse, or call 323-790-4962.

COMMIT!!!

With the holidays fast approaching it is important to make sure you keep your mind and body healthy.  Take a moment and think about how crazy the holidays can be, going to parties, huge dinner, visiting with family, vacations, etc.  Now that you have somewhat of an idea of what you are about to jump into the next couple months wouldn't it be a positive experience with a love for your health.

The holidays don't have to stress your body, mind or waist.  It can actually be beneficial with the proper planning and dedication.

The time is now to start that commitment to yourself.  What are you doing to do for the rest of the year?  

Are you going to commit yourself to go to:

pilates three times a week

drink a green smoothie everyday

eat more vegetables

meditate
drink more water
cook more at home

go on more walks/runs/spin classes

Create these habits now.  It takes 21 days to form a habit.  If you start now your habit will be in formation before thanksgiving.  Since the habit will be so important to you then there will be no reason for you to miss a beat during the holiday.

We all have time for health and fitness.  

You just have to make it a priority!
