If you want to stay well and hold onto your summer glow as we move into fall, read on for some helpful ways to do just that!
Sadly, summer is the season that never seems to last long enough, it seems to come and go just like a dream! However, as seasons change it’s a great time to prepare for fall and stay on target with your wellness goals!
If you managed to achieve a wonderful summer glow and felt good throughout summer, no reason shouldn’t continue. And if you weren’t feeling or looking your best, there is space for improvement, and that’s always a good thing. As we head into cooler temperatures, the prevalence of cold bugs and viruses may become greater, so it pays to apply some care to your immune function. Your immune system is your first defense against illness, the sharper it is, the stronger and fitter you shall be!

Here are 4 ways to prolong your summer glow!
- Protect your skin. That lovely glow that you may have gotten over summer can be maintained by feeding your skin with all the good stuff. Inside and outside. Naturally, we may eat healthier through summer: we may have avoided large, stodgy meals and comfort foods and opted for lighter, leaner plates. If this has worked for you over the summer- keep it going! Adapt your nutrition accordingly if you are using more energy through work or activity perhaps, but there is no substitute for eating clean!
- Hydrate! As the warmer weather bids us goodbye, we may not stay substantially hydrated. Water is the best natural hydration and thirst quencher; aim to minimize the sugary drinks, dressed up coffee coolers, and sodas no matter the weather. Hydrating with water nourishes your body and your skin.
- Stay active. If you were focused through early spring to get your summer body, don’t let the prospect of fall/winter change things for you. Yes, you may be able to hide a little more in layers of clothing but staying active has as many benefits physically and mentally as it does aesthetically! Problems with circulation can occur when it’s colder so it’s highly advisable to exercise to support your cardiovascular capacity. And there’s nothing like a post-workout sweat to bring the sparkle and glow back into your skin.
- Vitamins! Vitamins are vital for wellness. As mentioned previously, boosting your immune system is one of the best ways you can maintain or strengthen your overall wellbeing. It’s unlikely you’ll get all you need from a basic multi-vitamin! Opt for natural supplements with a high bioavailability factor; these are absorbed more efficiently by the body so you can maximize the benefits swiftly. A vitamin B complex supplement can help keep your energy levels and hormonal function on track and Vitamin C and Iron can help to fuel your immune function and circulation. Vitamins and Minerals are like your wingmen… they’ll look out for you and keep you safe and well!
