Eat right and exercise, sure. But there is more to a healthy lifestyle than that.
1. Eat more berries. Strawberries, blackberries, blueberries- all loaded with antioxidants. These juicy fruits are great for your skin.
2. Floss daily. Flossing and keeping your teeth clean are important parts of keeping your overall health in check.
3. Exercise outdoors. Sure weight machines and treadmills are great- but getting some fresh air while the weather allows is a great thing for your lungs. Some ideas for your outside adventures; going on a hike, taking a nature walk, playing games such as tag with your kids, cycling, roller blading, or swimming.
4. Protect your eyes. When outdoors, wear sunglasses that block at least 99% of ultraviolet A and B rays. Sunglasses can help prevent cataracts, as well as wrinkles around the eyes.
5. Drink Lite. Summer's a great time to skip drinks with hard alcohol and choose a light, chilled alcoholic beverage. Some suggestions; sangria, lite beer, or a wine spritzer.
6. Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. Getting enough rest is very important in your over all health.
Lack of sleep leads to weight gain, mood swings, and inability to focus. Get your zzzzzzz's. Some get to bed tips; exercise daily, avoid alcohol and caffeine with-in 3 hours of bed-time, have quiet time before bed, read by dim light, or snuggle with your significant other.
7. Sunblock. Protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. As great as you make look with a tan, years from now you'll have wrinkles and as they say "leather skin". Avoid that with minimum 30SPF sunscreen. Try Neutrogena Sunblock SPF 45, or the Aveeno line is great.

Enjoy the rest of the summer. Stay safe and be healthy.
