8 TIPS TO PREPARE YOU FOR Your Best Summer Ever | | Summer is almost here, and with it warmer temperatures, more sunlight, and plenty of activities. Read below for some easy health tips to feel your best, no matter the weather. Hydration 💦 🚰 Have a glass of water before your morning coffee When you wake up in the morning, your body is already a little dehydrated – and many people often have caffeine as their first beverage, which increases dehydration. While your morning coffee brews, have an 8 oz glass of water: studies show this can boost your metabolism, support digestion, and improve mental clarity. It also promotes healthy skin, aids in nutrient absorption, and can increase energy levels. (1) 🧂 Add salt It may seem contradictory, but sometimes too much water can dehydrate you. Especially if you're sweating a lot, you'll lose salt and minerals - and drinking plain water can lead to an imbalance of electrolytes. Symptoms of an electrolyte imbalance can include muscle cramps, increased thirst, and craving salt. A good rule of thumb is if you're exerting yourself in the heat and/or sweating for over an hour, you should replenish electrolytes. The most important electrolytes for hydration are sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. Hint: you can find these nutrients in our Bioactive Multi, Heart & Vascular Health, and REM Sleep.
Nutrition 🥬 🍉 Eat your water Another easy way to stay hydrated in the heat is to eat your water – choose foods with a high water content to support both nutrition and overall hydration. All of these summer favorites have over 90% water content: watermelon, cucumber, celery, tomatoes, strawberries, and lettuce. 🌽 Munch seasonally Take advantage of all of the delicious produce that's in season during the summer by eating seasonally. Studies have shown that seasonally-grown produce is more nutritionally dense (2). Not only is it better for you, it's also better for the planet! Find a local farmer's market to take advantage of ultra-local foods near you. Stay moving 💪 🌅 Time your activities On extremely hot days, try to aim for outdoor activities in the morning or evening. Make it a routine to talk a daily sunrise or sunset walk. To get up and moving in the morning, try Focus & Recall for a physical and mental boost. If you prefer an evening walk, try a Calm Mood before for the ultimate wind-down activity! 🛍️ Incorporate movement into your day Too hot to exercise outside? Get creative! Walk around an indoor mall, swim some laps at a local pool, or just do some yoga from a YouTube video in your living room! Getting just 30 minutes of movement a day can have a big positive impact on your overall health. Support your movement goals with Joint Health & Mobility; as an added bonus, the ingredients inside can also support skin health and hydration. 🫐 Add antioxidants While antioxidants are important year-round, they can be extra important in the summer months. Increased sun exposure and the resulting production of free radicals can damage skin; antioxidants help neutralize these free radicals and help protect against sun damage. Berries, nuts, dark chocolate, and leafy green vegetables are great sources of antioxidants. For an extra daily boost, our Bioactive Multi contains 7,393 mg of antioxidants in every gel pack. 😎 Protect your eyes When out in the sun, make sure your sunglasses block 100% of both UVA and UVB rays. It can also be helpful to wear a wide-brim hat. If you're going to be somewhere with reflective surfaces (i.e. on a lake, near the water), it can also be helpful to wear polarized sunglasses to reduce glare. Hint: sunglasses can also help reduce or prevent crow's feet by reducing squinting! For extra support, Eye Health contains nutrients to support eye health at the cellular level. | | | | |
