-Studies have shown that injury, pain, and degenerative diseases increase with decreased pH levels (more acidic). That being said, choose foods that will keep your body more alkaline rather than acidic. For a list of alkaline/acid foods, check out http://www.thewolfeclinic.com/acidalkfoods.html

-Stay hydrated!!

-Increase omega 3 fats because they reduce inflammation.

-Avoid over using non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.) because they can inhibit repairing tissues in your body.

2) Use proper technique

-Have your trainer pay close attention to your technique and try to reproduce that action when you are working out on your own.

-Warm-up so that your muscles are ready to work.

-Cool down to avoid blood pooling and light headedness.

3) Listen to your body

-Avoid overtraining.

-Respect your abilities and orthopedic status. Progress into more difficult exercises; don’t try too much too soon.

I recommend that dieters try to drink 48 ounces (six 8-ounce glasses a day) of water. That’s because studies show that people who drink more water consume fewer calories during the day. And water is essential for staying healthy-it helps with digestion and metabolism, flushes toxins from your system and regulates body temperature.
But I know it can be tough for some people to gulp down that much H2O. Whatever the reason-you don’t like the flavor, you’re too busy, it causes you to make a few extra trips to the bathroom-I’ve got a fix. Check out the tips below to make sure you sip enough water stay healthy and slim down.

Be patient. Increasing your intake of water can also increase the frequency of visits to the restroom. But believe it or not, you can train your body to take in more water. If you’re really struggling with eight glasses, start with six glasses for a week or two, then increase to seven and finally work your way up to eight. As you get into better shape, your body will require-and even crave-more water.
Stay hydrated for workouts. It won’t be too tough to drink after a workout because you’ll likely be very thirsty, but to get the most of your sweat session, also try drinking before you hit the gym. Start with a glass of water prior to your workout, and when you’re through, drink two more glasses. That’s three glasses right there!
Drink a glass with every meal. Replace your normal beverage with water at each meal and snack. If you do this, you’ll already be halfway to your goal.
Add flavor. If you find the taste of plain water to bland, try adding a squirt of lemon, lime, grapefruit or other fruit.
Carry around a bottle of water. It’s easier to drink throughout the day when you have water with you-in your purse, your car or at your desk. Try toting a bottle of Best Life approved Nestle Pure Life water around; it’s a handy way to stay hydrated. (Just don’t forget to recycle!)
Limit your options. If you usually have lots of different beverages in your house-soda, juice, milk, iced tea, lemonade, etc.-try cutting back by one or two options. With fewer choices, there will be a little less temptation to sip something instead of water.

The potion for losing that excess body fat is all around you. It covers two thirds of the planet. If you eat right and exercise at the intensity, frequency and duration proper for you, but still can’t get rid of a little paunch here and there, you’re probably just not drinking enough water.

No need to get defensive. You’re actually quite normal. Most people don’t drink enough water. Most people are also carrying around a few more pounds than they would be if they did drink enough water. If you can’t seem to get that weight off, try drowning your sorrows in nature’s magical weight-loss mineral.

There are many forms of metabolism going on in your body right now, but the one everyone is talking about it the metabolism of fat. This is actually something that the liver does when it converts stored fat to energy. The liver has other functions, but this is one of its main jobs.

Unfortunately, another of the liver’s duties is to pick up the slack for the kidneys, which need plenty of water to work properly. If the kidneys are water-deprived, the liver has to do their work along with its own, lowering its total productivity. It then can’t metabolize fat as quickly or efficiently as it could when the kidneys were pulling their own weight. If you allow this to happen, not only are you being unfair to your liver, but you’re also setting yourself up to store fat.

The body, in a state of dehydration, will try an store as much water as possible in many places in the body.  So when you drink more water, your body will actually shed some of the water stores it has been carrying around for the past couple of year.   This excess water storage can range from 2 – 5 lbs depending on your body type.

 It’s pretty simple.  Drink more. Weigh less.
