Bust that bad mood with time outdoors! Sun exposure not only provides you with vitamin D, but you can also banish that melancholy moment, get better sleep, and promote your overall health just by exposure to the brilliance of a sunny day. Now, out and about! The outdoors is calling!



Summertime is often fast-food time. When you order a hamburger, flip it over and eat it upside down. The top bun is usually thicker and will absorb all those yummy juices without falling apart. Better burger, done!


With the summer sun in full blaze, be sure to cover up (you and your kiddos) when outside. Look for lightweight, loose-fitting, (even hooded) long-sleeved shirts. Protection completed!


Staying hydrated in summer's heat means drinking, drinking, drinking (water, please!). Schedule these water breaks in: when you wake up; before meals; when leaving for outside; when returning inside. You've got this ... healthy you!


Experts suggest 60-68 degrees for the best sleep possible. There is also evidence that sleeping cooler can help with weight loss, too! (Can we bring back winter, please?!?) An extra blanket and you are good to go! Stay cool!
