Summer Self-Care
Summer is known for fun in the sun and vacations with family or friends. But don't forget to take care of yourself. Follow these tips for summer self-care.
Wear Sunscreen
The sun's harsh rays increase the risk of skin cancer. Make sure to wear broad-spectrum sunscreen and a hat to protect yourself from the sun.
Drink More Water
Warm weather and sunshine increase the risk of dehydration. Experts recommend that women drink 2.7 liters of water per day, while men drink 3.7 liters.
Relax and Unwind
Read a good book while relaxing on the sand underneath a beach umbrella or unwinding on a deck overlooking the mountains.
Eat Healthy
Summertime is the prime time to enjoy ripe fruits, such as strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, peaches, and nectarines. Start your summer mornings off with a tasty, nutritious smoothie.
Play Outside
Take advantage of opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities like running, walking, snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, and biking. Participating in these activities in the fresh air can improve mood and cardiovascular health.
