Most of us women are constantly searching for how to be healthy, strong, and maintain the right weight. In Latin America, women are experts in these tips and secrets. For example, drinking fresh coconut water to stay hydrated and looking beautiful, or always having oatmeal in the refrigerator to lower those extra books, are common practices among our women in Latin America. In my country, for example, water is taken from a fruit called jagua to reduce.
Latin American gastronomy is full of healthy flavors and dishes, which are prepared based on ingredients that we collect in the patio of our own house and many of us grew up feeding ourselves in that natural and casual way. There can be no more organic than that! Therefore, there is nothing like returning to our land and enjoying the pleasure of eating.
In Latin America, there are many options of foods rich in nutrients that are excellent for health. Yerba mate tea, sweet potato, and prickly pear are just some of the foods consumed by women in certain Latin American countries. Of course, we can not leave out the love that Latinas have for dancing, because in addition to being hilarious it is an effective way to burn calories. Here I present you some remedies, tips, and tricks from the Caribbean to the countries of South America.
But of course, always make sure to check with your doctor.
