I know summer is finally here when the spring showers give way to sun, sun, and some more sun. But I see too many people overcompensating for the extra sunlight by over watering their gardens.
My garden, which has yet to see the fruits – the tomatoes – of my labor, has been suffering from the exhaustive summer heat. Instead of turning on the sprinkler two or three times a day, I fill up my water can and get to work making sure they get just the right amount, even if that means I have to check on it multiple times throughout the day.
After a hot day out in the garden, I always make sure to hydrate myself too. I’m sure some of you have experienced this. After too much exercise or sun exposure, your body is dehydrated but doesn’t want to drink water. During those times, I know it is crucial for me to replenish my thirst but my body physically rejects it when I drink water. So I usually make a sweet fruit shake (of course with my daily dose of Micosamine) or anything that is palatable to me.
My husband tells me that he thinks I haven’t aged since the first time we met. While I do think that my husband is too sweet to a fault, I know that my skin has never felt any better. This is because I always make sure I stay hydrated.
So while we get tempted to bare all for the warmer weather, we should be responsible and make sure we drink plenty of fluids. Especially during the summer, our bodies lose a lot of our nutrients and I make sure I stay healthy and strong by creating delicious summer drinks and mixing it with my favorite supplement.
Keep healthy!
