Spring back into summer with Motherkind. Here are some tips on how to get into the swing of summer by eating healthy, changing your seasonal lifestyle and adding a few workouts to get that beach body.
Healthy Eating:
- Load Up on Fruits and Vegetables: Incorporate a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables into your diet. These are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that promote skin health and boost your immune system.
- Stay Hydrated: As the weather gets warmer, it's essential to stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water throughout the day and consider adding refreshing beverages like infused water.
- Choose Lean Proteins: Opt for lean proteins like grilled chicken, fish, tofu, and legumes. These are lower in calories and can help you build and maintain muscle.
- Limit Sugary Treats: While it's okay to indulge occasionally, try to limit your consumption of sugary snacks and beverages, as excess sugar can lead to energy crashes and weight gain.
- Supplementation: Motherkind BodyGold BodySculpt & Toner contains pure bioactive lean muscle targeting hydrolysate collagen peptides, which has been clinically proven to increase lean body mass and decrease fat mass. These specialised collagen peptides are concentrated, soluble and highly bioactive to support body toning by targeting the collagen matrix of the muscles. When used in combination with exercise, these specialised bioactive collagen peptides help to reshape and optimise body composition.
Seasonal Lifestyle Changes:
- Sun Protection: Protect your skin from harmful UV rays by wearing sunscreen with at least SPF 30, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat when spending time outdoors.
- Stay Active: Take advantage of the longer days and pleasant weather by engaging in outdoor activities like hiking, biking, swimming, or playing sports.
- Mindfulness: Practice mindfulness and stress-reduction techniques like meditation or yoga to stay mentally and emotionally balanced during the summer season.
Workout Routine:
- Cardiovascular Exercises: Incorporate cardiovascular workouts like running, cycling, or dancing into your routine. These exercises help burn calories and improve cardiovascular health.
- Strength Training: Add strength training exercises to build lean muscle mass and boost metabolism. You can use bodyweight exercises, resistance bands, or weights.
- Flexibility and Mobility: Don't forget to include stretching and flexibility exercises. Yoga or Pilates can help improve your flexibility and reduce the risk of injury.
- Consistency is Key: Establish a consistent workout routine that works for your schedule and gradually increases the intensity over time.
Remember that achieving a "beach body" is not just about aesthetics; it's about feeling healthy, confident, and strong. Be patient with yourself and focus on making sustainable lifestyle changes that you can maintain year-round, not just for the summer. Listen to your body, stay hydrated, and consult with a healthcare professional or nutritionist if you have specific health or dietary needs. Enjoy the summer and the benefits of a healthier lifestyle!
