~ Enrich Your Diet with Fresh ‘Summer Food’
Loading up on antioxidants such as berries helps prevent damage to tissues and reduce the risks of age-related illnesses. Blueberries and blackberries are especially antioxidant-rich. Also, reserve a place for fresh produce in your every meal.
~ Give yourself the much needed ‘Nutritional Boost’
Nutritional supplements can support you with a greater amount of physical energy, enhancing your summer activities. B-complex & Vitamin C supplements are of prime importance to get through this season.
~ Stay Cool & Hydrated
Most people need two to three litres of liquid per day, and even more in hot weather or with sweating and exercise.
~ Draw up an Outdoor Workout Regime
Aerobic activity is important for keeping the heart strong and healthy. Summer is the perfect season to indulge in refreshing outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, swimming, or tennis. This will help to keep your body and mind aligned.
~ Sleep Well
Overcome the urge to stay up late as a result of the light evenings in the summer. Instead pay attention towards developing a good sleep cycle by keeping the same bedtime and wake-up schedule
~ Treat your eyes well
Protect your vision at work and at play, wear protective eyewear. When outdoors, wear sunglasses that block at least 99% of ultraviolet A and B rays. Also, make it a point to wear protective eyewear when playing sports.
Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine
Alcohol, Cola and Coffee all can leave you dehydrated quickly. If at all possible, try to reduce the amount of these favourite beverages, especially during hot weather. Plain or flavoured water is a good substitute.
Give your family & yourself that much needed Vacation!
Taking time off from work, even for a long weekend, allows the body to replenish and repair itself. Leisure activities contribute to higher positive emotional levels, lower levels of stress hormones, less depression, lower blood pressure – and even smaller waistlines!
~ Choose the Right Attire
Clothing is among the most important things to watch out for during the summers. It is well known that black colour has a tendency to absorb heat, and white to reflect it, that’s why lighter colour fabrics are preferred over brighter ones during summers. Tight-fitting garments should be replaced by lose, comfortable and stretchable ones as they help air pass through. Natural materials like cotton are any day better than synthetic fabrics.
~ Ensure Skincare
Excessive makeups and fancy skin lotions can actually harm the skin, as they clog the sweat pores and hinder the skin’s ability to breathe. While going out in sunlight, skin should be covered and a sunscreen of minimum SPF 30 should be applied on the skin. Donning a cap or carrying a foldable umbrella are also good ways to protect the skin from exposure to harmful UV rays. Natural skin revitalizers like Aloe Vera and turmeric can be used for a healthy, glowing skin.
