We have asked ten friends the colour of summer and bright orange has won.

Red and yellow have followed.

The survey is playful and not scientifically significant, while scientifically proven is the link between eating orange, red and yellow fruits and vegetables and tan.

Rich in beta-carotene, and much richer the more intensely coloured, carrots, melons, mangos, watermelons, apricots, tomatoes, asparagus, pumpkins, peaches, cherries, peppers & co. are precious allies of tan.

Beta-carotene stimulates the production of melanin and at the same time has an antioxidant action protecting the skin of an early ageing.

If you consider that carotenoids are substances that our organism can not synthesize, depending entirely from dietetics supply, it is easy to understand that the first step to catch a good and uniform tan is to do the right provisions to the market.

Among the recommended purchases, olive oil, better than any other vegetable oil, favours the absorption of beta-carotene.

Preventing we know is better than cure, however, even in case of sunburns, food can help us: peanuts, blue fish, shrimp, eggs, red meat and liver are ideal to ease inflammations.

Centrifuged, elaborated in tasty and imaginative recipes, natural or seasoned, in every way they are consumed, fruits and vegetables with magic pimentos favour the tan, so desired after the greyness of winter.

If you planned your diet already from spring paying attention not only to kilos of balance but also to the colour of dishes, the results of exposure to sun will be surprising and even the clearer skins will assume a healthy and joyful complexion.

In recommending you the use of protective creams that are appropriate for your phototype, we wait for you on the beaches of Riccione for the finest tan and for palatable and orange coloured big feeds of fruit and vegetables.

Breakfast is known is held more and more by the experienced nutritionists the most important meal of the all day.

The benefits brought by the sun overcome in fact abundantly the harmful aspects that they is easily able besides to implore following some simple shrewdness like for example don’t stay on the sun in the warmest hours or to protect ourselves with solar filters and creams.

Meanwhile, not by chance without the light and the heat of its rays there would be no life on our planet for whose existence represents therefore the primary condition.

Equally, the sun presides to the correct operation of our organism.

When we grant us a “bath of sun” we give in fact great energy to immuniser system, we fight the symptoms and the rheumatic illnesses and we strengthen the bones since its rays help to fix in them the Calcium.

Only in presence of the sun, in fact, our body correctly activates vitamin D necessary for the correct absorption of the mineral more important for our bones.

Aspect not to be underestimated, gives besides, also a lash to our humour being the sun an important factor for the production of serotonin and endorphins, the famous hormones and neurotransmitters of pleasure.

Finally we also assume a beautiful shade to do envy to maniacs of tintarella, always second in comparison to the shades of a beautiful natural tan.

If then to the so many virtues of the sun we combine those of the sea - like iodine or sea aerosol for example - the game is made.

A week of sun and sea will make you revive.

Riccione waits for you to give you some healthy baths of sun without side effects because, like in every thing, the important is simply not to exaggerate!

The summer is approaching, with it diet time.

From the shop windows bathing suits remind us the need to lose those extra kilos we have accumulated during the cold winter season.

Provided that to follow a proper diet we should turn to experts, and avoid the do-it-yourself, we try to draw up a series of recommendations that are told by common sense.

To achieve lasting results and to prevent a wide range of harmful and unaesthetic consequences, the outcome of a misconduct that is suggested by the haste (stretch marks, the loss of muscular tonicity, damaged hair), weight loss must be set on the long term and should not be drastic.

Beginning diet in spring will allow us to avoid the strict impositions of last time or, still worse, the dangerous panic fasts.

The correct diet should be varied and balanced.
Eat all a bit, this is the saying to follow. And never jump meals.

A breach of the rules once a week, maybe for the weekend, is not only allowed but also advisable because the mood will benefit. And the mood is an integral part of the diet, which must be addressed in a spirit of sacrifice yes, but without unnecessary anxieties.

Constance and patience in the method will be the best allies, especially when, after the first two or three weeks, it becomes more difficult to lose weight. A sharp “braking” is inevitable because physiological, therefore don’t let us be discouraged.

Please note that the diet to be effective must be accompanied by an appropriate physical activity, but here it’s better to ask an opinion to the expert.

We recommend drinking a lot, consuming fruit and vegetables in large quantities, ideal to satisfy the sudden attacks of hunger, avoiding carbohydrates in the evening and not continuously weighing yourself!

A small strategy: let us give us a sense of gratification with small gifts for every lost kilo and at the end of the diet let us run to the town centre to buy the nice bathing suit that, finally and proudly, will accompany our body, with its newfound harmony, on the beautiful beach of Riccione.
