4 Health Tips to fully enjoy your summer vacation

With the arrival of vaccinations, sun and heat, it is time to review our habits to be ready to take advantage of summer vaccinations. To help you do this, the DDG Center offers health tips that will help you maintain good mood and shine during your vacation.

1) Snacking intelligently

During our summer vaccinations, we are always in motion, given the limited free time available, it is important to eat the right nutrients and make optimal food choices.
To do this, you can promote almonds and dried fruits because, in addition to being easy to transport, they contain protein, fiber and carbohydrates.

They satiate longer and keep you energetic during the day.
There are also yellow-orange fruits and vegetables that will help your skin to tan and protect you from the sun because they are rich in beta-carotene: pumpkin, pepper, apricot, tomatoes, carrots, etc. Do not hesitate to eat several times a day !

2) Hydrate regularly

Whatever the activity, be it cycling, jogging or energetic walking, it is very important to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated despite the heat, so always have a bottle of water with you.

Drinking plenty of water during the summer can have several positive effects such as detoxification and hydration of your skin and body, but also helps to eliminate waste from digestion and various metabolic processes.

3) Don’t stay inside all the time

We spend a lot of time in front of screens, and not enough outside which results in significant vitamin D deficiencies. A daily dose of outdoor and sun is very beneficial for health.

The sun can synthesize vitamin D in the skin with UVB. Exposing oneself to the sun during your summer vaccinations allows you to get enough of this vitamin. Be careful not to stay in the sun for hours, it is good to expose yourself to the sun but in moderation.

4) Play sports

Doing sports not only keeps you in shape, but also improves your health and keeps you fit, “a healthy mind in a healthy body“.

If you are not used to the sport, jump on all the occasions for you to spend: walk on the beach, take a walk in the mountains, move your legs in the pool, play ball, and even petanque we run his muscles! Any activity is good to take to exercise and play sports

the ideal is to do outdoor activities for at least 30 minutes a day, every day, in addition to sunbathing and breathing good summer air at the top of your lungs.
