Things you should do now for a healthier, more pleasant summer
Things To Do Now For A Healthier Summer
Gettyimages.com/Summer, 2005, Cologne, Germany.
Once temperatures reach their highest points in the summer, your brain just doesn’t work as well. All you want to do is stand in front of the open freezer door or move your bed into a swimming pool. We all go a little nuts when it’s hot out, so once that occurs, we are in no condition to take the steps we need to ensure a healthy summer. When desperate, I’ve dropped too much money on handheld fans and boxes of pre-cut watermelon being sold on the side of the road. Nobody is thinking straight when it feels like their face is melting off. So, if you want a healthy, cooler, easier summer, now is the time to prepare for it. Stores are beginning to offer summer essentials, but their shelves haven’t been totally wiped clean (and the prices aren’t insane just yet). Here are things you should do now for a healthier, more pleasant summer.

Get a better filter
Staying hydrated is essential in the summer, but something tells me your water filter could use an update. Consider investing in a bigger, better filtration system like this one. It holds a ton of water, so you only need to refill it every couple of days—as opposed to having to refill it every time you use it like smaller ones. And it naturally keeps water cool.

Keep chopped fruit for your water
Keep chopped apples, raspberries, orange slices, and pineapple in a big bowl in the fridge at all times and add a scoop to your water table’s pitcher. The fruit will make you want to drink more water, and you can eat it out of your cup for more hydration.

Exercise in the mornings
Get used to waking up a little earlier now and knocking out your workout in the mornings. Once summer hits, you’ll have to exercise in the mornings because the afternoons will be too hot.

Buy cooling foods
Let your food help cool you down—sometimes, there is only so much ice water you can take. Pineapple, lemon, cucumber, watermelon, and peaches all have properties that cool down the body.

Get your dog shoes
Your sweet pup needs walks, even when it’s hot out, but his delicate paw pads can’t handle the hot asphalt. Invest in some good shoes for your doggy. Get him used to wearing them now, before he desperately needs them, so he is accustomed to them when summer rolls around.

Buy a grill and propane
It may be time to invest in a grill if you don’t already have one, and pick up propane now because, once summer hits, propane is one of the first things to fly off the store shelves. Grilling is a great way to eat healthy in the summer and enjoy the outdoors.

Get a better blender
There’s nothing like an ice-cold smoothie when it’s hot out. If you don’t already have a blender, it’s time to invest in one. If you do, make sure yours can grind up ice, as well as hard ingredients like apples.

Befriend that person with a pool
Start making inroads with that neighbor, coworker, or acquaintance who has a pool. You’ll want to be invited to their pool parties when the temperatures rise. Maybe you can even house sit for them during their summer travels and have unlimited access to the pool.
