Finally warm days, finally summer<\/strong>, time to relax body and mind. As temperatures are rising, your \u201cwinter body\u201d will surface\u2026 here\u2019s what to do to get in shape for the beach season
\nOutdoor activities, a walk, or maybe a bicycle ride, are all excellent\u00a0 ways to start.<\/p>\n

Does getting in shape seem impossible? We have the perfect tips for you:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No stress<\/strong>: drastic last minute diets will just put you in a bad mood, and the weight you manage to lose will come right back\u2026before you even get around to putting your bikini on. Never skip meals, maintain an active metabolism with small snacks, and reward yourself to a \u201cday off\u201d where you can eat whatever you want; after only a short while your body will get used to your healthy life style and you won\u2019t miss your old habits a bit.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Start off slowly, eliminating sugar and fat; two components you do not need<\/strong>: tost and jam for breakfast, fruit or yoghurt for a mid-day snack, lots of vegetables and water, limited amounts of alcohol and a glass of wine only now and then. Carbs aren\u2019t exactly to be seen as the enemy but don\u2019t have too many, and preferably not in the evening.
\nChoose seasonal, colored foods, experiment with new flavors and combinations, limit seasoning like oil and salt, but go all-in on spices. Create delicious and eye-pleasing dishes!<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lots of physical activity<\/strong>: if you don\u2019t have time to go to the gym, a walk on the beach is sufficient and will get you nice tan at the same time (tanned skin always makes you feel prettier!) Buy a pedometer that will remind you of your daily goal, 10.000 steps a day, because diet alone, and not combined with exercise, won\u2019t get you far.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Try to follow your daily routine<\/strong>: don\u2019t have dinner too late, get at least 7 hours of sleep per night, forget about work as soon as you leave the office, find time to chat with your girlfriends and to watch \u201cSex and the City\u201d together on the couch (a healthy daily routine is as catching as the giggles amongst friends!).<\/p>\n

5.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Last but not least, maybe even more importantly\u2026nobody is going to look better than you wearing your clothes<\/strong>. Feeling comfortable with yourself, and giving yourself credit,\u00a0 if you feel secure and happy others won\u2019t notice the small defects but only your positive energy!<\/p>\n

Here are a few ideas perfect for the summer season!<\/strong><\/p>\n

A healthy and tasty detox cocktail<\/strong> that you can make at home or have by the pool side of the Grand Hotel da Vinci<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What you need:<\/p>\n

\u2022 5 pieces of pineapple
\n\u2022 250 ml orange juice
\n\u2022 2 pieces of passion fruit<\/p>\n

How to make it: put the ingredients in a shaker along with lots of ice, shake hard and filter into a glass and serve immediately.<\/p>\n

Or, you could make a refreshing water detox<\/strong> to enjoy under your beach umbrella!<\/p>\n

In our Restaurant La Spiaggia<\/strong> we make them everyday, like this:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Fresh water, strawberries (ours come straight from the Batani Farm)\u00a0 and, if you want, a slice of lemon.
\n\u2022 If possible, use only organic fruit
\n\u2022 Leave the strawberries in water for 6 to 24 hours (not more), the longer the infusion, the better the aroma of the water.
\n\u2022 The strawberries can be used for a fruit salad once they have been taken out of the water.<\/p>\n
