Spring is the season of new beginnings. As the landscape begins to change, to awaken and blossom, and as animals emerge from hibernation, it’s a new season and a time of transition and renewal. Spring is also a great time to rejuvenate your health and well-being after the long winter months. Here are some strategies for promoting a healthy spring:

6 Strategies For A Healthy Spring

1.

Stay Hydrated

Warmer days are upon us, and it is important to stay hydrated. Be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day. You can mix up your water intake by enjoying coconut water, flavorful infused water, and teas.

2.

Eat Seasonal Foods

Take advantage of the availability of seasonal fruits and vegetables by incorporating them into your diet. Spring is the perfect time to enjoy a variety of leafy greens, citrus fruits, asparagus, and other produce that is abundant during this season. Explore farmer's markets for locally grown produce.

3.

Connect with Nature and Exercise

Improve your mood and reduce your stress levels by getting out and taking in all that nature has to offer. Spend some time gardening, take a walk in the park, or on a hiking trail. Enjoy some downtime at the beach.

4.

Soak in the Sunshine

The longer daylight hours as we spring forward allow for more  time to soak in the sun and take in the natural vitamin D. Vitamin D is essential for bone health, healthy blood levels, and improves resistance to certain diseases.

5.

Make Restful Sleep a Priority

Create a relaxing bedtime routine to get a restful sleep.Studies show that getting a good night's sleep is important. Your immune system activity increases when you get quality sleep. Sleep deprivation over time may pose some health risks including memory issues, difficulty concentrating, depression, infections, and more.

6.

Set Healthy Spring Goals

Take an opportunity this spring to set new health and wellness goals. Take some “me time” and practice self-care and mindfulness. Set goals that are achievable and focus on your overall health journey.

Spring is the perfect season torenew and revitalize yourself by making healthy choices. By incorporating these strategies into your routine, you can enjoy a healthy spring season for your body, mind, and soul.
