Kardashian went on to give the following tips for anyone heading to the beach this summer:
1. STAY ACTIVE IN THE SUN: Kim says that when you're on the beach, "don't just lie there with a piņa colada in hand. Be active. Swim, play Frisbee, walk along the beach, splash around in the surf, whatever. It all helps."
2. ALWAYS KEEP YOUR WATER BOTTLE FULL: "A few days before heading to the beach, start drinking more water. A couple of big bottles a day will help you get a flatter stomach."
3. GIVE SALTY FOODS THE BOOT: "Avoid salty food for a week before you go. It's tough, but it's worth it."
4. SPEND TIME SHOPPING FOR THE PERFECT BATHING SUIT: 'Don't rush into choosing a swimsuit. Go to the store early and take your time. Don't leave it to the last minute and panic-buy. A second opinion always helps."
5. A TAN HELPS CONCEAL IMPERFECTIONS: "A tan can make you look 10 pounds slimmer. Before you hit the beach, get a spray tan or spend the night before applying a self-tanner.'
