10 Healthy Tips You Should Follow This Summer

Pool

Follow these healthy tips to achieve your perfect healthy summer!

1. Hydrate your body and drink tons of WATERRR!

Summer is the hottest season and the last thing you need on your plate is a heat stroke. Drink at least 2 liters of water each day! That is around 8 eight-ounce glasses of water!

2. Eat your fresh summer fruits!

Summer is the time for fresh fruits such as strawberries, and especially mangoes! So get those juicy fruits, and enjoy their natural sugars. If you like spicy stuff try to cut some mangoes in cubes and put chilli powder on top and then squeeze some lime on top!

3. Go outside and play some fun outdoor games!

Football, soccer, badminton are great fun summer games to play that will get you moving instead of just watching Netflix all day.

4. DRINK COFFEE! It is actually proven to be good for you! SAY WHAT?!

Apparently, drinking coffee is scientifically proven to make you live longer and less susceptible to diseases such as Type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's, and other diseases. I would hit up the local Starbuck's right now.

5. Get a good night's sleep

Getting enough sleep is important because your body deserves a good 7-8 hours worth of rest. You need to recharge and get yourself ready for the next day.

6. Trying out healthy recipes that you see on Instagram

Everyone has seen those amazing healthy short recipe clips on Instagram summer is the perfect way to try them out. Make some fresh salmon with some lemon sauce or grill up some chicken and toss it in a salad.

7. Hit your local pool and get some cardio in

Swimming is a great source of exercise and in the summer what is better than getting your tan and cardio in at the same time. So take your friends, family, and kids and hit the pool. Make sure to use sunscreen!

8. Plant some plants and connect with Mother Nature

Summer is a great time to grow some plants and vegetables. Use the summer to get yourself outside and connect with nature!

9. Eat NUTS....LMAOOO

Eat healthy nuts such as pistachio, peanuts, walnuts, and almonds. Nuts are a great source of healthy fats and nutritious.

10. LAUGH OUT LOUD

Laughing is great way to release tension and improves overall mental functioning so laugh your way through the summer!

The above healthy ideas are something to just try out if you want a healthier summer then you already have. Enjoy your summer and give the above healthy ideas a try!

While the idea of free time without a stressful job or an abundance of schoolwork looming over your head may sound like a dream, it can be a nightmare at times. Having a couple of days to decompress is needed for a healthy mind and body. But when too many days go by, it can cause a downward spiral of thoughts and feelings.

As a recent jobless graduate, I was ecstatic to be free from responsibility and take a break from my normal life. That was until I realized just how responsible I had been and needed to be to continue being self-sustained. I learned a few things in this month of unemployment that encouraged me to find a job as soon as possible.

Autumn is my favorite time of the year. The leaves change, pumpkin spice everything hits the shelves (thank you, world!), the 13 Nights of Halloween on Freeform (formerly abcfamily) and the temperature drops. Well, the temperature is supposed to drop. Being in south Alabama, however, means that the temperature may be relatively low early in the mornings, but you're still going to suffer in the afternoon. So if the weather outside isn't getting you in the Autumn mood, maybe these Spotify playlists will help you slip into that wonderful, Autumn state of mind.

I have never understood why grown-ups complain when the leaves are all off the trees, and the temperatures take a decided turn towards the zero on the thermometer. I hear complaints about the impending winter weather, and the driving in the snow and ice. We live in Pennsylvania, so I bite my tongue instead of stating the obvious: Maybe you should move to a warmer climate?
