A Little Flexibility Goes a Long Way

Thursday January 15 Hello and welcome to your daily newsletter from Suzanne Somers' Sexy Forever! Start Your Personalized Weight-Loss Plan! WEIGHT-LOSS WEAPONS A Little Flexibility Goes a Long Way When you think about exercising, you probably start thinking of hitting the treadmill or pumping some iron. But the third key component necessary for fitness is flexibility, which lowers stress levels and gives you a long, lean, gorgeously-sculpted body.   Try giving these flexibility-enhancing activities a shot. Featured Recipe: Roasted Peppers and Olives This is so simple and delicious, but sometimes it's the simplest dishes that linger in our memories. The slightly charred and crunchy peppers taste fantastic when tossed with a splash of sweet balsamic vinegar. This makes a beautiful salad on its own, or a lively side dish to bring meat, poultry, or fish to life.  Get the recipe!   Become a member | Learn more | Log in   Advertisement Food for Thought Dark chocolate is an excellent source of antioxidants. The darker, the better; I recommend at least 60 percent cocoa. Those antioxidants found in this delectable treat have been proven to help lower blood pressure. Look for varieties with pure ingredients and low sugar content. A staple in Level 2, have one or two squares in the afternoon. Or if everyone else is having dessert, pull out a little stash from your purse to keep you away from the really bad choices.
