Welcome Summer ☀️😎
I’ve been a quite busy recently, hence little social media content but I’m back now and want to focus on having a happy and healthy Summer!
Here are my top tips for staying healthy and surviving the school holidays
☀️🕶🔆🔆first up sun Sunlight is an excellent source of vitamin D, and people need a small amount of sun exposure every day but too much can cause problems and skin damage so best to aim for at least a factor 50!!!
💧Keep hydrated 2 litres or 8 glasses a day and if you are exercising then you need to increase this by approx 1ml for every kcal.
🆒 Try to stay 😎 cool. Anyone experiencing heat exhaustion must stop and rest, shelter out of the sun and in a cool place, and drink plenty of water or sports
Heatstroke occurs when body temperature rises above 104ºF, and the body can no longer cool itself. 🥵
⚖️🙇♀️Manage expectations. It’s great seeing lots of snaps of people on instagram enjoying a lovely time with their families but don’t be fooled - there is no such thing as perfect life... 🚸Children and families in general can be hard work especially when we spend a lot of family time together (remember lockdown - how can we forget?) and this can cause strain and arguments. It’s perfectly normal and the chances are most other people are experiencing the same thing - trust me I do😌KEEP CALM and carry on as they say!! That’s what I TRY to do... or take some time out for yourself if you can 🧘♀️
🏞 Lastly, where possible, spend as much time outdoors as you know I am a fan! So many benefits...
✅ Vit D
✅ Exercise
✅ Improves mood
✅ Reduces anxiety, improves sleep and immunity.
Enjoy 😊🤩😎☀️🌞🌅🔆
