For hundreds of thousands of years, humans have had a deep mind-body connection. But in recent times, many of us have become preoccupied with daily stressors and disconnected from our bodies. The result? Anxiety, depression, and other mood problems.
I love cooking with watermelon in the summer. Watermelon is excellent for summer because it's a very refreshing food due to its water content (~92% water). It's also highly nutritious. It's a very good source of vitamin C and contains B vitamins, potassium, copper and magnesium.
Watermelon can be a delicious ingredient in gazpacho, salsa, or a smoothie. But there’s nothing quite so refreshing as a simple watermelon and mint salad with some lime, cayenne and sea salt.
With summer in full swing, we all want to soak up as much great weather as we can. Why not take advantage of everything the season has to offer by taking your fitness goals outdoors too?
If you want to exercise outside, but aren’t sure where to start, here are a few ideas to get you started.
It’s smoothie season! With summer in full swing, what better time to enjoy a refreshing blended drink?
Creating the perfect smoothie is both an art and a science. It must be tasty—of course—but a great smoothie should also be nutritious.
Summer activities are great, but summer acne? Not so much. If this season causes your skin to stress out, a soothing mask might be in order.
However, instead of turning to a premade formula from a cosmetics store, why not make your own mask? Using natural ingredients, it’s simple to soothe, moisturize, and refresh your face throughout the summer.
What better way to beat the heat than with a delicious popsicle? Nothing refreshes on a scorching day quite like an icy treat pulled straight from the freezer. Best of all, there is one for every palate—and diet.
Making your own popsicles at home is surprisingly simple. All you’ll need is a set of popsicle moulds and a bag of popsicle sticks, both of which can be easily found online or at your nearest home goods store.
