Get busy with some fun ways to exercise this summer. Take a
walk after dinner when the sun is not so high and hot. Or go for a swim in a
pool. Health Briefs encourages readers to enjoy any time outdoors when the weather is nice.
Take a nap and go to bed at a regular time every night. A University of Chicago
Hydrate. Drink plenty of water if out in the sun all day
long and into the evening. It renews cells and refreshes brain energy.
Additionally, people who drink 7 glasses of water per day eat less than those
who do not. Drink up, readers.
Health Briefs recommends eating meals on schedule every day.
Have some breakfast within one hour of waking and space other meals out three
to five hours apart. Include some proteins, whole grains and lots of produce.
Find a healthy way to deal with stress. Emotional eating is
not good for anyone as it tends to lead toward eating unhealthy, “comfort”
foods. If stress is pressing, try listening to favorite music, go for a walk or
run, or close the eyes and meditate.
These five daily habits are healthy and can help all of us
avoid overeating and becoming lazy this summer.
