Our temperatures are rising and will remain high for a few months. Here are 10 tips to staying healthy in the summer months:
- Stay hydrated. The recommended water drinking amounts are 2.7 liters for ladies and 3.7 liters for gentlemen.
- Protect yourself from overexposure to sunlight by wearing a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
- Keep up with your exercise program. It is the perfect time to try one of our pool aerobic classes.
- Enjoy nature’s bounty. Consuming organic fresh fruits and vegetables in juices and raw vital salads will nourish your body for summertime activities.
- Take some special summer time with your family or friends. Hiking, nature walking, camping, or a few days resting at the ocean rekindles our connection to mother earth, and continues to enrich the whole of your life.
- Relax and breathe. This is the season to slow the pace a bit and absorb the light that stimulates your hormonal message center. Leave your cell phone at home or take a break from watching TV. Unplug and listen to soothing music or meditate.
- Sip on sun teas. Use flowers and leaves (or tea bags) in a clear half gallon glass jar filled with spring water. Hibiscus, peppermint, chamomile, or lemon grass are all good choices. Leave in the sun for two hours or up to a whole day. Add a little orange or lemon peel and enjoy.
- Nutritional supplements can support you with a greater amount of physical energy. B-complex supports the central nervous system, while Vitamin C protects your body from stress and chemical pollutants.
- Use the summer months to deepen the spiritual awakening that began in the spring. Read, relax, contemplate, and breathe/
- Above all, give yourself the time to truly experience nature and take it all in.
