When temperatures rise, it's important for women to take care of themselves this summer. Begin by shielding your skin with broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen and light, water-based moisturizers. Drink a minimum of 8-10 glasses of water every day and enjoy water-rich fruits such as watermelon and berries.
Exercise wisely by taking morning or late evening workouts when the sun is not at its peak. Think of indoor exercise such as swimming or yoga on especially hot days. Feed your body light, seasonal food heavy with fresh vegetables and lean protein.
Don't forget about mental health - cultivate mindfulness by meditating or writing in a journal, and take regular breaks to rest. Keep a regular sleep schedule, making your sleeping area cool with light bedding and blackout curtains.
Finally, welcome the outdoors with safety. Take nature walks, picnic in green spaces, or just lounge around in a hammock. These self-care steps can help women have a relaxing and revitalizing summer while strengthening their physical and mental well-being.
