Hello there sexy, welcome to this Friday’s Sexyfit podcast!

I have some great news for you. Sexyfit Makeover is HERE! I received some amazing feedback from the ladies who already started with their training, and I can’t wait to see those transformation photos! We also announced the winners of the Sexyfit Makeover contest on our Facebook page, so check them out.

Even though it’s Christmas season, I’m noticing many women around me feel sick and worn down. When we feel that way, we don’t necessarily know how to recover in a healthful way. This Friday I want to talk about what to do when you are getting sick. I want to uncover some strategies on three simple points of supplementation, rest and recovery, and hydration.

SUPPLEMENTATION

Let’s look into three major vitamins we need to pay attention to.

1)Vitamin C - it’s essential to up the dosage of vitamin C if we are working out and getting sick, since our body will otherwise take strength from our immune system in order for our little muscle fiber to recover from the training

2)Vitamin D – It’s important in the winter time and it directly influences how much excess body weight you actually carry

3)Vitamin B - sometimes you may feel down because you’re deficient in some micronutrient. Then it may be essential to have a cocktail of vitamin B, which you can have in a shot or a pill.

REST & RECOVERY

It’s critically important not to let your to-do list run you. YOU run your to-do list. Even if you’re coming down with a head cold or you feel like there is so much to do on your list, remember to take time to sleep and recover, because your body does most of its recovery in your sleep.

Should you actually work out when you’re sick? If your body feels run down, it’s probably telling you that you need additional rest. Instead of working out, try to get some sleep, drink some tea and just focus on rest.

HYDRATION

I recommend two solutions for hydration.

1)Green juice with fiber - if you are blending spinach, apples and berries, or different kinds of vegetables, you are getting those micronutrients that are going to help you recover and strengthen your immune system

2)Soup - broth has additional electrolytes for hydration of your body. Electrolytes are basically salt and salt is good for you.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

1)Three strategies for helping yourself when you feel you are getting sick

2)Why supplementation is important

3)The function of vitamin C in relation to your workout

4)Why you should consider vitamin D supplementation

5)How deficiency in micro-nutrients can cause you to feel down

6)Why resting and sleeping is crucial for your body to recover

7)Should you work out when you are feeling sick?

8)How taking a few days off can actually help your workout after you recover

9)Two best solutions for hydration

10)Why electrolytes are important when you are feeling thirsty

Today I talked about supplementation, rest and recovery, and hydration. If you’re coming down with a cold or a flu, these are your three strategies. Take time off. You may feel like you can’t afford a day off, but down the road you may end up missing more days because of full-blown sickness. Before it gets to that stage, up your supplementation dosage. Make sure not to skip out on food, on hydration, and get enough rest. If you are already full-blown sick, make sure your food has plenty of micronutrients. The easiest way to get those in are smoothies or green juice.

This is what I wanted to share today ladies, and don’t forget to check our Discussion Board to see if your name is among the winners of Sexyfit Makeover contest.
