• Move most days. Regular physical activity, 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week, reduces inflammation, improves hormone balance, and helps maintain a healthy weight. Even brisk walks or yoga count.

• Eat with purpose. Choose colorful fruits, vegetables, and whole grains rich in antioxidants and fiber. These nutrients support your body’s detox pathways and may lower circulating estrogen levels. Limit alcohol, processed foods, and excess sugar.

• Prioritize sleep and stress care. Quality rest and effective stress management lower cortisol and strengthen immune function, two key protectors against chronic disease.

• Quit smoking, if you do. Tobacco toxins damage DNA and disrupt the body’s repair systems. Quitting lowers risk over time.

Last time we talked about summer exercise benefits and we touched on this but I want to focus this morning on tips for exercising safely in the summer especially when the heat is extremely challenging.

Stay Hydrated:

Drink plenty of water before, during, and after exercise. Consider drinks with electrolytes if you're exercising for prolonged periods. Better yet, include plenty of electrolyte containing foods such as apples oranges et cetera in your diet.

Wear Appropriate Clothing:

Light, breathable, and moisture-wicking fabrics help us stay more comfortable throughout the day. Also, not a bad idea to keep an extra change in the car or even office to make daytime exercise easier and more comfortable. A wide brim hat and wrap around Polaroid sunglasses can not only protect our eyes better against sun exposure but add visual depth and colors especially when we are on or near water.

Sunscreen:

Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. We urge you to consider and use regularly non-nano mineral based natural sunscreen to avoid the potential toxicity of sunscreens. Reapply every two hours, or more often if sweating heavily or swimming.
