5 Tips for Staying Well All Summer

By Genevieve Cunningham

Summer is upon us, and we're all anxious for the sun and fun. It's so easy to get caught up in the carefree nature of summer, sometimes we let the important things fall apart. Suddenly things like work and weight loss and good health seem second to vacations and late night outings. But in order to enjoy the fun, we really should be focusing on our health. If you want to have fun this summer and also take care of your body, take a look at these ways to improve your health starting now.

Eat Well

A well balanced diet should be a normal part of your life. The summer is a good time to start a better diet if you need to. Because of the heat, our bodies demand less food. And because of this, it's easier to cut calories and skip junk food. Stick to raw fruits and veggies -- which are delicious during the summer -- and get your diet on track for the duration of the warm weather.

See the Doctor

Regular doctor visits should be a part of your routine all year long. During the summer, go ahead and get caught up. Ask for tips on living a healthy lifestyle. Ask for diet advice. Ask for a checkup of your blood sugar, cholesterol, and heart rate. Once you have these numbers, you can make a plan for better health to begin now and last through the end of the year.

Exercise

It's tempting to let your exercise routine fall by the wayside during the summer. There's too much fun to be had! But keeping your exercise routine can help you maintain a healthy weight, improve muscle strength, keep the body flexible, and help you stay overall more fit. Just make sure you're doing an activity you enjoy, and you're more likely to stick with it.

Drink More Water

Summer is hot! No news there, right? Because of the rising temps, it's crucial that you drink more water. Water keeps the body hydrated, improves your skin, and improves overall health. Get a water bottle, fill it often, and sip all day long for better health through the summer months.

Have Some Fun

Fun is a vital part of any healthy lifestyle. And the summer is the perfect time to have some fun. Go out with friends, spend a day at the beach, or go on a vacation with family. Relax! This is the one time of year when relaxation is actually expected, so take advantage so that your body and mind can have a healthy reset.

Summer is a great time to focus on health. It's the middle of the year, the weather is great, and motivation is high. Use these tips to get a handle on your health, and enjoy your summer feeling like your best self.
