The summer can be an amazing time to relax, kick back, and treat yourself. However, after a few months of summer indulgences, you may be feeling a little sluggish and slow. Luckily, by following a few simple steps, you’ll be able to get yourself back on track in no time! Here are the five best ways to create a healthy post-summer routine.
Get Back on Track after the Summer Break
Drink lots of water
One of the easiest ways to feel rejuvenated and refreshed is to up your water intake. Staying hydrated can do wonders for how you look and feel. Professionals recommend that adults drink around 8 8 oz. glasses of water each day to avoid dehydration.
With this amount of water, you’ll notice that your skin becomes plumper and younger. Proper hydration can also help you to feel energized and more awake throughout the day. It’s the ideal way to give yourself an immediate boost!
Stick to a regular sleep schedule
In addition to drinking water, getting plenty of high quality sleep is also crucial for feeling your best. Aim to get around eight hours of sleep per night so that you have optimal energy levels throughout the day.
While getting enough sleep is important, getting good sleep is equally vital. Try to put away your phone an hour or two before bed, do some gentle stretches before turning in, and even experiment with meditation so that when you doze off, your sleep is as restful as it can be.
iSleep capsules from Suro contains organic herbs that are traditionally used as a sleep aid to help relieve restlessness and/or nervousness and also as a sleep aid.
Create an achievable exercise plan
Getting some exercise every week will help you to feel energized and positive. Exercise has been shown to reduce anxiety and improve sleep.
