Seasonal Wellness Tips: Vibrant Summer
Living in sync with the seasons is one of the most important secrets to a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Instead of fighting against the elements and the weather, let’s ease into the summer flow. It feels as if we enter a different, freer time, full of potential for rejuvenation and stepping out of our usual routines.
Take advantage of the vibrant summer with Essa World's summer tips!
-
Seasonal eating
In summer, nature offers a wide variety of seasonal foods: enjoy summer’s juicy strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, crunchy cucumbers and peppers, sweet corn and watermelon, flavorful tomatoes and peaches, and nutrient-rich leafy greens such as spinach and arugula. Aim to fill your plate with as many colors of raw vegetables and fruits as possible and recharge for the fall!
-
Electrolyte replacement
In the heat, sweating is inevitable, leading to electrolyte loss. To maintain a healthy balance, incorporate as many natural sources of electrolytes into your diet as possible, such as coconut water, bananas, and avocados. For some extra energy, add a spoonful of Essa World protein and your perfect smoothie for recharging is ready!

Soothing the gut flora
In summer, due to dietary changes such as trying new foods while on vacation and late dinners, it's especially important to strengthen the gut. Fermented foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, or kombucha can really help "cool down" the gut flora's mood.
-
Rescheduling workouts
In the heat, it's best to exercise during the cooler parts of the day, early in the morning or late in the evening, to prevent overheating and sunburn. Our favorite is a stylish Sun Salutation practice at sunrise.

Relaxation exercises in nature
Instead of the warmth of home, let’s meditate in nature: in the forest, under a starry sky, or even by water, further promoting the calmness of both body and mind.
