5 Habits to improve your health this summer

Here we are, standing on the precipice of summer, looking down into a valley of potential health and prosperity. But how do we get down, surely it’s not advisable to just jump there’s no telling where or how you might land. No. A better way is to choose your path carefully and descend into the summer season by way of a controlled path. Here’s how. 

Morning Yoga 

Improve your health

It’s been a cold stiff winter in many places, not only because of the climate but emotionally too, with lockdowns happening worldwide. But the balmy summer weather has now arrived and in the air is a new inspiration for all things flexible. 

A morning yoga routine can help you shake off the winter blues and retrain your joints and muscles to remind them of their real purpose. Start with sun salutations and Ashtanga to inspire the morning and valance the rest of the day. 

A Fasting Diet 

If there’s ever a good time to diet it’s in the summer when the air is warm and your cravings are at an all-time low. But not just any diet is going to work, you need one that speaks to you and works with your particular metabolism. 

Eating fresh fruits and vegetables is wholly recommended, but don’t forget about the importance of not eating from time to time. Not eating – by way of a 16/8 fasting diet, or similar – is a terrific way to shed pounds but to still enjoy the treats you love. 

Health Supplements 

Improve your health

These tiny explosive easy-to-digest vitamins and nutrients are one of the best ways to get vital vitamin essentials into your body. Cut yourself some slack, there’s no need to plan every meal to your exact requirements – just boost your health with a daily dose of nutritious supplements. 

It isn’t hard to find one that works for you either, they can be browsed for and bought online as ePharmacies are being used more and more. These convenient and affordable digital pharmacies turn up at your door with your neatly arranged pack of summer supplements. 

Digital Detox 

It is not just your body that needs a summer bounce back, your brain does too. If you’re like most people you will have a smartphone burning away in your top pocket most of the day demanding your attention – and getting it. And that’s only one digital device.

Getting away from it all has taken on a slightly different tone in this digital age of pixelated communication. Now, the phrase also means switching off your devices and listening to your partner for a change – a healthy habit you might agree with. 

Forest Bathing 

Improve your health

Now that your smartphone is switched off and buzzing for attention in a locked drawer where it isn’t likely to get any, it’s time to step outside and make your way to the nearest first for a green bath in what the Japanese call Shinrin Yoku. 

This means Forest Bathing and it’s been a craze on the planet of Japan since the 1980s when it was recommended by the government and others as a way for normal working folk to distress and re-energize. Now, it’s used by people like you in summer, for the same reasons.
