THINK PINK
There could be something in Mariah Carey’s (right) favourite three-day red fruit detox.
Scientists have discovered that as well as being rich in disease-fighting antioxidants, strawberries, red grapes and blueberries can also help you lose weight.
Red and purple fruit contains a natural pigment called anthocyanin which helps you to fight the flab by blocking fat absorption.
BUTTON UP
Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay might like their fungi fancy, but the plain button mushroom gets the OK from nutritionists.
Research shows they have as many anti-ageing antioxidants and vitamins as rarer shitake and matsutake varieties.
Plus they’re a great source of vitamins B and D.
HANG AROUND
Want a celeb-style flat tum?
Then strap your feet into a pair of stirrups and hang around.
The latest fitness craze to hit Hollywood is suspension training.
Fans at Jennifer Lopez and Meg Ryan’s gyms say that exercising while hanging upside-down gives an intense abs workout.
Classes aren’t held in the UK yet, but you can get the TRX equipment at www.suspensionfitnesssystems.co.uk.
Prices start at £119.99.
