Get Glowing

ong legs, flat chests, high cheekbones; clothes may hang better

and designers might prefer the look of skinnier models, but

according to men, when it comes to the female body, the more
curves the better.

Even though boyish blazers and skinny jeans have been the latest
desired look, that doesn’t mean we have to give up low cut tanks and
lacy undergarments. With summer around the corner and everyone
anxious to fill out their teeny yellow polka dot bikini in all the right
places, it’s important to eat healthy rather than diet to get into shape.
Skip the cigarettes and the Starbucks; leave that to the ladies on the
runway —unless, that is, you want to look like one of the Olsen twins
this summer.

Fitness trainers advise women to do more weight training exercises
to tone up the body and boost metabolism; dieting and cutting down
on calories will lead to weight loss but it also results in a decrease in
chest size. It’s easy to get skinny, but sallow skin and saggy clothing is
defiantly not something you want to show off. Choosing the right foods
can help boost your metabolism, improve the tone of your skin, and
keep your appetite down.

Because oestrogen is the hormone responsible for breast
development, there are a number of foods which can encourage
oestrogen activity in the body as well as counteract production
of testosterone. Whole grains stimulate levels of oestrogen, and
strawberries and blueberries protect skin cells and promote breast tissue
growth. While lattes and chocolate are necessary during cramming
periods, avoiding beverages and foods that are high in caffeine is best
as caffeine contains a diuretic quality that inhibits your body’s water
supply and slows down breast tissue growth.
