Let’s be honest summer is not the time to be anything less than your healthiest and happiest self. Try some of these suggestions to prevent or overcome dehydration.
- Drink water… grab your favorite reusable water bottle and fill it up! “Water is non-caloric, it pumps up your skin, and it hydrates your muscles, “ says WebMD Weight Loss Clinic Kathleen Zelman, MPH, RD, LD.
- Fruits and vegetables contain lots of water, so eat up! Try blending your favorites in a festive summer smoothie. We recommend enjoying this refreshing snack with a reviving sheet mask.
- Limit your time in the sun. Spending too much time in the sun’s harmful rays can cause sunburn. Additionally, too much exercise outside can increase your chance of becoming fatigued. We know that spending time outside is a staple of your summer routine, and we don’t want to change that. Instead, try wearing a trendy wide-brim hat or staying in the shade.
