Stay Healthy Summer Tips

It can be a challenge to stay healthy during the summer months. As soon as school is out for summer, we often take on a relaxed mood in our own personal lives.

Work on getting your health back this summer with just a few health tips that are so easy, you will be able to stick with them even during the most hectic times in summer.

Drink up! Water that is.....

With the summer heat, our bodies can become dehydrated and want to give up. Make sure to always have some water with you everywhere you go. Keep your body running smoothly and stay hydrated.

Wear Sunglasses

Protect your eyes against the beaming sunshine with sunglasses. These summer essentials should be planted on your face every time you step outside. Blocking nearly 99% of ultraviolet rays, a pair of shades will help prevent cataracts, wrinkles, and age spots from forming around the eyes. Treat your eyes with care and put on some sunglasses!

Take a Vacation

Vacations are great for your health! Getting away from the office for a few days will help to reduce blood pressure and heart rate along with alleviating stress that contributes to heart disease. Keep yourself healthy and happy by planning a summer vacation or even a weekend getaway—your body will definitely be thanking you!

Get Some Sleep

Even though it’s been staying light later, it’s essential to stick to your normal sleep routine. Staying up later on longer summer days will make you sleepier, making you sleep deprived and sluggish the next day. Try to go to bed at a reasonable hour and avoid alcohol three hours before bedtime.

Boost your Diet with Lots of Berries

It can be a challenge to eat healthy every day. If you’ve been struggling to maintain a healthy diet, start by giving your diet a berry boost! Incorporate a cup of mixed fruit into your diet each day to help prevent damage and age-related illnesses. Rich in antioxidants and fiber, berries are great for preventing cancers and keeping cholesterol low.

Get a massage! 

Yeah, you know I had to throw that one in there. =)

With all the running around this summer, kids home, heat and work; your stress level can low to max in seconds. Stay relaxed and rejuvenated with a massage. Take care of your pain now, so that this way its not to bad by the time the cold weather comes rolling in.

And most of all ENJOY your summer!
