Belly-Move

Another belly-trimmer for the upcoming summer season! Contract the lower abs into the back of the spine, allowing your pelvic area to lift and the tailbone to drop slightly. Now release. Start slowly at first to get used to the movements. Little by little, increase tempo. This is a great isometric exercise for the lower belly.


Belly-Recipe

Baba Ghanoush (Eggplant Dip)

1 large organic eggplant
3 cloves of organic garlic, mashed into paste
2 cloves garlic
4 tablespoons fresh organic lemon juice
4 tablespoons tahini (optional)

Note: Turkish style is without tahini

Sea salt
Red pepper
Olive oil
Fresh parsley, chopped

Place eggplant over the flame of a gas stove, turning it occasionally, and cook until the skin is blackened (our Mom used to cook it in a hot oven). Put over the sink and pour cold water until it is cool enough to handle; then peel skin, and chop into small pieces. Add garlic and lemon juice and mash to a smooth consistency. Add tahini (optional). Spoon into a bowl, top with a little olive oil, red pepper, and chopped parsley.
