Summer! Time for light clothes, fresh salads and time out relaxing in nature. Summer is the perfect time to focus on your health, to eat well, support your body with the right nutrients, be more active and relax. Set your summer on track with these tips.

1. Refresh & rehydrate

For centuries, different cultures around the world have practised various forms of massage to ease physical and mental maladies. This is not just because it feels so good; research consistently demonstrates that touch can reduce stress hormones, boost immune function and ease pain.

Make a booking today to iron out those knots and kinks, as well as feel more body-confident.

2. Support your skin

In addition to applying sunscreen with a high SPF, nourishing your skin from within will improve hydration levels, tone and condition. Many favourite summer foods support skin health. For example, a salad of capsicum, avocado, orange slices, spinach, sunflower seeds and slivered almonds is not just delicious and refreshing, it also boosts production of skin-firming collagen and elastin. A collagen supplement is another game-changer for skin health.

3. Get moving

Go outside and enjoy the warmer weather. Being active boosts mood, improves cardiovascular health and maintains a healthy weight. If you are just beginning an exercise program, NutraViva Australian Collagen Hydrosalate also supports muscle recovery, reduces inflammation and promotes joint health.

4. Recharge the batteries

Summer is the time to unwind – and this is particularly important around the festive period, which can be stressful. Whether you enjoy yoga, meditation or simply time in nature, book in time to relax.
