Have a Happy, Healthy Summer!
It's Heating Up! To support your physical and mental health during the summer, consider the following tips: • Stay Active: Engage in outdoor activities like walking, yoga, or swimming to stay active and enjoy the fresh air. (The ICL Hiking Club and Table Tennis Club are active all summer and ICL offers morning tennis on the Utah Tech tennis courts.) • Enjoy Nature: Spend time outdoors to benefit from sunlight, which is essential for Vitamin D production and overall health. (There's so much to do in and around St. George. Consider a picnic in Pine Valley or spend a day at Red Cliffs National Conservation Area, Bloomington Petroglyph Park, or Zion National Park.)
• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water, even on overcast days, to prevent dehydration and maintain optimal health. Infuse water with fruits like lemon or cucumber for added flavor. • Protect Your Skin: Use broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily, even on cloudy days, to shield your skin from UV rays. Reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating. • Eat Seasonal Produce: Choose fruits and vegetables that are in season for their higher nutritional value and flavor. (Check out the Downtown Farmers market open every Saturday, May through October from 8am-12am at Vernon Worthen Park. There's also the new Washington Farmers Market held every Saturday from 10am-2pm at Washington Veteran’s Park.) • Get Plenty of Sleep: Despite the heat and longer days, try to maintain a consistent sleep schedule. Try taking a lukewarm shower or bath before bed and make sure your bedroom is kept cool. At least one hour before bedtime, block out the light in your bedroom and avoid blue light screens such as your phone, tablet, and television.
