Sunshine & Heat

With the added heat and stronger desire to be outdoors, a few quick tips to keep in mind:

• Hydrate! Beyond straight water, when we sweat, we lose electrolytes. Electrolytes are sodium, potassium, and other minerals that are essential to our bodies. Be sure to replenish. My favorite tool is a Nuun tablet: electrolyte tab to put in your water with no added sugars. It's been a game changer for me. (Nope, I don't get any commission, I just am a major fan.)
  
  
• Protect yourself from the sun. I adore being outside on sunny days, but hats, lightweight coverings, and sunscreen (reapply as well!) are needed. Your skin will thank you!
  
  
• Note your effort. When it is super humid or hot, we have to be careful not to push so hard we end up faint, dizzy, or anything else that falls under the category of 'not good'! (See above about hydration as well.)
  ​
  
• On the flip side: Sunshine is an amazing source of vitamin D, and being in nature is scientifically proven to be a mood and energy booster! So take full advantage of it, just do so carefully :)
