5 Tips to be healthy and cool during the summer months
Hi friends, I hope you are well.
But sweating all over your body as well as making your armpits a disgusting smell while interacting or crossing through the people whom you meet will be an uncomfortable state of mind.
So, let us see some ways to deal this problem. Without much delay, let’s dive into the topic.
March — the month of the year when the temperature really begins to soar thereby making your physical activity a little bit tougher with a lot of effort or struggle.
There’s nothing cool about summers, but that doesn’t mean that if we take the right precautions, it can’t be cool.
Whether you’re prepping for that dream summer fitness goal or just trying to stay active — here’s a guide that will help you stay healthy in the next few months.
Check what you eat
Keep your eating habits light instead of consuming heavy breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. Focus on foods that are rich in fiber and easy to digest. So, avoid foods that are difficult for your stomach to swallow.
This means you can avoid fruits like papayas, grapefruits, and apricots; veggies like eggplants, onions, spinach, kidney beans, nuts, and red meats. Replace them with apples, pears, strawberries, cucumbers, broccoli, lettuce, black-eyed peas, buttermilk, and yogurt.
Replenish lost salts and minerals by incorporating drinks like coconut water in your diet, and don’t forget to relish some truly delicious fruits like watermelon and muskmelon that naturally cool your body down because they too contain a lot of water substituents.
Focus on being hydrated
Of course, you will sweat as such will lose a lot of water throughout the day — it’s inevitable. Added to that if you work out more, make sure you carry a bottle with you at all times. Consume more electrolytes too, and as mentioned earlier, coconut water helps as well.
Heat strokes and dehydration are real dangers that can have disastrous consequences. Get an app or set a reminder for every hour, but make sure you drink at least 2–3 liters of water.
Maintain indoors
Especially if it’s the middle of the day, a common mistake people make is thinking the science of heat strokes doesn’t apply to them — and they couldn’t be more wrong. It’s imperative to take precautions, try and not to expose yourself to the heat and harsh sunlight to the best of your ability.
Not just dehydration, but you also increase the risk of skin damage and cancer if you stay out in the sun too long. So stay indoors as such make sure you are working inside the gym or home. And if you absolutely have to train outdoors, do it in the evening post after 5 pm.
Supplements are your friends
Avoiding the sun has natural consequences — lack of vitamin D production in your body.
So remember, supplements are your friends. Make sure you check your B12 and D3 levels often or speak to a specialist that will help you take preventative measures. For a healthy mind and body, you need to ensure your vitamin levels are balanced.
Follow a routine
Summers are a great time to be fit, but it’s not going to happen unless you follow a routine. The best times to work out are when the sun is about to rise or about to set — which means that you need to decide what works best for you as such stick to that.
In addition to the workouts, your body also goes through a lot of stressors in the summers — and thus, getting 7–8 hours of sleep is important too.
A healthy mind and body is a combination of diet, exercise, and sleep.
