How To: Enjoy summer to the fullest

Whether you’re globetrotting, basking in the sun, hustling at work, entertaining little ones on school hols, spending more time outdoors, hopping to events, or simply lounging around enjoying the summer, we are dedicated to helping you thrive throughout summer and feel your best. Dive into our top 5 tips to stay energised and glowing during the busy summer season.

1. Travel light, eat right
   • Portable nutrition: Meet Fridge Fills. Handy for nutrition, delicious options to take on the go. Bring them to your summer events, to eat in the park, to the airport. No need to compromise on health whilst travelling.
   • Stay hydrated: Carry a reusable water bottle and infuse it with fresh fruits or herbs for a refreshing twist. Drinking enough water is key to optimising all bodily functions, particularly metabolism. *We are offering a complimentary Detox Kitchen glass water bottle to anyone who shops with the code SUMMEROFFER (available for the next 300 orders). 
2. Maintain an element of your wellness routine every day
   • Even if you are planning on indulging more than you usually would that day, we recommend starting the day with intermittent fasting, followed by a fresh cold-pressed juice and/or breakfast from our Fridge Fill range to ensure you get that instant hit of nutrients for your gut first thing.
   • Mindful movement: Dedicate at least 20 minutes to moving in some way, wherever you are. That could be as simple as a brisk walk, or at-home yoga session (we recommend The Yoga Class Co). Every workout can be effective, no matter how short.
3. Spend more time outdoors in nature
   • Breathe in that fresh oxygen, hug those trees, feel the grass on your toes. Maybe a little cringe, but there is scientific evidence that nature, greenery and plants really do stimulate your endorphins and reduce your cortisol levels.
   • Our Fridge Fills ensure that you spend less time in the kitchen and more time outdoors. Go on, take that delicious, fresh salad and walk it to the park -  that’s three wellness practices in one!
4. Embrace seasonal produce
   • Wherever you are - whether thats at home or abroad - enjoy the bounty of summer by incorporating fresh, local produce into your meals and your gut will thank you. Think vibrant salads with 3-5 different vegetables or fruits and 8-10 plant varieties, grilled vegetables on the BBQ, juicy fruits.
   • Check out our bank of healthy recipes to inspire you with your summer cooking or enjoy our summer menu, built around high-quality, seasonal produce.
5. Mindfulness and relaxation
   • Digital detox: studies have shown that by reducing your screen time by as little as 30 minutes will significantly reduce depression, anxiety and loneliness and will improve your mood by 20% a day.
   • Grounding: It’s super easy to slightly lose connection to yourself amidst busy summer plans and travel. Do what you can to stay grounded by doing one activity for an hour a week that centred around slowing down and refocussing. That may be reading, meditation or yoga, a full-body evening pamper, scrapbooking or journaling, having a massage or facial, etc. 
   • Sleep, sleep, sleep: The best and easiest thing to do for yourself and your body is get enough rest. Aim for quality, consistency and a minimum of 7 hours a night.
