How Can I Improve My Skin This Summer?
Here are some easy and fun ways to protect your skin this summer.
Drink lots of water! You might not realize it, but your skin is comprised of 64% water. Drinking plenty of water is essential in the summertime to maintain health and avoid overheating, but it also positively impacts your skin. This study shows that regular, plentiful hydration profoundly affects your skin’s health and appearance. Drinking lots of water year-round will help keep your skin healthy and look lovely, but it’s essential during the summer when the heat and sun strive to remove moisture as fast as possible.
Protect your skin from the sun with regular use of sunscreen (Use a high SPF!), hats, and light clothing that covers your skin. Covering your skin (somehow) reduces the risk of sunburns, which, aside from being painful and taking a long time to heal, damage your skin. Repeated sunburns will age your skin faster, produce wrinkles and sun spots, and increase your risk of skin cancer. So slather on or spray away with the sunscreen.

Energy chews are popular these days. They are more convenient than making a cup of coffee or buying an energy drink, and they are easier to take—all you have to do is chew. Plus, they work faster than liquid caffeine. But are energy chews healthy? We’ll explore this question and more about energy chews in this article.
A healthy immune system helps enhance life. Avoiding the circulating bugs and viruses surrounding us means less time lost to being sick, which is inconvenient and deeply uncomfortable. A healthy immune system also means that if you do get sick, you’ll be sick for less time and less severely. In this article, we’ll discuss how to boost your immune system along with ingredients to look for in immune system vitamins.
Summer is the season for outdoor fun and play. But what if your energy levels are low? Low energy can make accomplishing the necessary things each day a challenge, to say nothing of having some juice leftover to have fun. If you’re dealing with low energy this summer, keep reading because we will discuss some natural energy boosters.
Sugar has a bad reputation. It is well earned since ingesting too much sugar can cause serious health problems like obesity and diabetes. However, there is a difference between eating cookies on the couch and taking a handful of gummy bears before working out. Athletes and those who exercise regularly can benefit from eating sugar before working out.
There’s nothing like the feeling of a solid workout where you not only reached your goals but exceeded them. However, you know that doesn’t happen every time you exercise because, well, you’re human. But, many athletes and workout enthusiasts are reaching for a pre-workout supplement to give that extra boost of energy and performance. It’s not just anecdotal evidence that supports pre-workouts. The Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition published a study reporting that combining a pre-workout supplement with a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workout significantly increased workout gains.
Did you know that melatonin isn’t a sleep aid? A sleep aid relaxes your body or mind or acts like a sedative. (A sedative promotes calm and makes you sleepy) Examples of sedatives are herbal valerian root supplements and Benadryl.
