The Healthy Bride's Engagement Guide: 12 Tips to Keep You Sane and Get You Fit (press release)

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

Christi Masi, founder of The Healthy Bride (www.healthy-bride.com), is a personal trainer of brides-to-be. She's seen first-hand that the months of planning, combined with the "Stress of the Dress," can be a crippling period of anxiety for newly engaged women. As an anecdote, Christi has created The Healthy Bride's Engagement Guide, geared towards a healthier and happier bride. Her 12 tips, which spell out "Healthy Bride," are:

Have Fun! You're engaged, and in 12 months or less you'll be a darling bride. Banish Bridezilla moments -- schedule a few minutes of fun every day.

Exercise: Gotta do it: at least 3 days per week, or 4 if you want it to really show. You'll be healthier and less stressed too!

A-line or Strapless: Pick your dress style early and gear your workout to toning your body exactly for it. Make it easy, effective and convenient, like The Healthy Bride's Boot Camp Workout DVD.

Lifestyle: Take a look at your life and keep your "wants" balanced with your "needs." If your list is out of whack, you will be too.

Time Management: One word: Delegate. What are mothers and friends for?

Habits: Forget the bad, and just focus on the new -- good nutrition, stress management and exercise. One great tip: 8 glasses of H20 daily and bonus points for adding a cup of green tea.

You! It's all about you, so make sure to take time for yourself.

Buff: For arms your bridesmaids will envy, weight training must be part of your exercise program -- at least twice a week.

Rest: There's no rest for the wicked, so get plenty of sleep on a regular schedule. You're skin will look better too!

I deserve the best ... Your mantra, from this day forward.

Diet: The D word. Focus less on what you can't eat and more on eating whole grains, plenty of fruits and veggies, calcium-rich foods and lean protein.

Energy: If you follow these 12 Tips, you'll be brimming with endless energy, so you'll stroll down the aisle with grace and style ... and into married life with your Mr. Right!

Masi is creator of The Healthy Bride's Boot Camp Workout DVD ($21.95 plus tax/handling at Weddingchannel.com and Amazon.com) and her book, The Healthy Bride Guide, published by Sasquatch Books is coming in January 2006.
