It’s always hotter during summer, and to think otherwise would be foolish. This year, however, temperatures exceeded 100 degrees Fahrenheit in many areas around the United States. Wildfires in California, the Pacific Northwest, Utah, and even across the world in Turkey resulted from excessive temperatures and dryness. Both fires and heat waves are uncomfortable and dangerous, and present a major health threat.

The Dangers Of Heat Waves

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), extreme heat is defined by temperatures that are much hotter and/or humid than average for certain areas. Some areas experience excessive dry heat, while other areas have muggy, humid temperatures. The humidity can make it feel hotter than it is, and dry heat can feel like you are in an oven. According to data at the CDC, about 700 people in the United States die each year from heat-related exposure. Heat waves pose several health risks, including:

  • Heat cramps
  • Kidney damage
  • Dehydration
  • Heatstroke
  • Heat exhaustion
  • Impaired mental health

While the end of summer may be in sight, temperatures are still hot and dangerous. Heat waves can come at any moment, and it’s best to be prepared. Continue reading to learn about a few tips that can help you stay healthy when temperatures rise.

Avoid Excess Caffeine & Alcohol Consumption

It’s common for people to over-consume both alcohol and caffeine during summer, especially at parties or gatherings. It’s more habitual than anything, but these beverages don’t promote hydration. Actually, caffeine and alcohol can dehydrate the body. If you notice that the color of your urine is dark yellow, you need to stop drinking everything except water and electrolyte beverages. Maybe go for some electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water or homemade detox waters

Stay Hydrated

This seems like an obvious tip, but too many people suffer from dehydration in hotter weather. You should always have fluids with you, especially water, when it’s hot outside. If you find a great electrolyte powder that has minimal sugar content, you can pour that in your water. When you sweat, you lose electrolytes and you need to replenish those stores to avoid health complications like dehydration, kidney problems, or heat exhaustion. Water intake will depend on activity level, sex, age, and overall bodyweight. When the weather is hotter, drink more water than you think you need to. Click here to learn simple tips to improve hydration.

Look For Indoor Activities

Most indoor places have the air conditioning working overtime during the summer. If you want to save energy and avoid running your A/C unit like crazy, head to a place that is naturally cool. If you don’t want to go to a mall, head to a movie theater, library, museum, or other establishment with A/C. 

Dress For The Weather

If you are experiencing a heat wave, don’t wear jeans and a hoodie. There’s no reason to do such a thing. It’s best to wear light, breathable clothing that fits loosely. Additionally, opt for light colors to avoid overheating. It’s also beneficial to wear wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses with polarized lenses for even more sun protection. Depending on how long you plan to be outside, consider lathering exposed skin in sunblock. 

Eat Lighter Meals

If you want to keep your body on the cooler side, it’s best to eat meals that don’t weigh you down. Rather than scarfing down potato salad or fries, ribs, brisket, chicken, rice, corn, and other heavy foods, opt for lighter meals. Consider an entree salad or Buddha bowl with quinoa and roasted sweet potatoes. Smoothies are also an excellent option. When the body has to work hard to digest food, it generates heat within the body. Keep food options light and be conscious about the size of your portions

Diabetics should stay hydrated and refreshed with healthy drink choices and skip the drinks that cause blood sugar levels to spike.

If you have type 2 diabetes, monitoring what you drink is just as important as what you eat. A single drink can affect your blood sugar more than you realize. For example, think of the sugar content in a can of cola or sweetened juice. Drinks with carbohydrates (sugar) affect blood sugar more than zero-carb, zero-sugar drinks. Ultimately, any liquid with carbohydrates will digest faster than something you have to chew. 

Having type 2 diabetes doesn’t mean that you have to avoid every single beverage. Taking sugary drinks, such as regular soda, sweet tea, and some juices, off the table and replacing them for low-sugar or sugar-free options is much better. That isn’t to say that you should replace those drinks with diet beverages, as those contain copious amounts of aspartame and other unhealthy artificial sweeteners that lead to other health complications

If you enjoy bottled drinks, how do you stay hydrated if you have to avoid so many beverages? Most people have an aversion to water, despite the fact that it is the most important liquid to consume. It keeps you alive and helps your body function optimally. Besides water, consider the following drinking dos and don’ts if you have diabetes. 

Don’t Drink Sugar-Sweetened Sodas Or Teas

They are very tempting to drink, but they wreck your body in so many ways. According to one study, middle-aged adults who drank more than three sugar-sweetened beverages per day had a 46% higher risk of developing prediabetes than people who did not drink those beverages. An earlier study found that people who consumed just two sugar-sweetened sodas or juices per week increased their risk of developing type 2 diabetes. That was even truer if they gained more than six pounds over a five-year period. Get in the habit of consuming water or unsweetened teas because a typical 12-ounce can of soda contains about 38.5 grams of sugar.

Drink Unsweetened Coffee And Tea (In Small Amounts)

Diabetics can enjoy tea or coffee (hot or iced) in moderation. It’s best to enjoy them unsweetened, although you may use monk fruit sweetener or stevia to aid the flavor. Just don’t go overboard with these natural low-calorie sweeteners. If you add milk, cream, or creamer to your coffee or tea, make sure to look at the ingredient label. Coffee creamers are very dangerous, especially because some people use more creamer than coffee! Adding organic cream isn’t the worst thing for you, but sugary hazelnut, vanilla, or caramel creamers won’t do you any good. If you want to drink iced tea, consider adding some freshly squeezed lemon juice to add more depth of flavor. Green tea, in particular, may help lower the risk of type 2 diabetes, according to research. 

Don’t Drink Energy Drinks

Energy drinks, or other canned caffeinated beverages, typically contain an ungodly amount of sugar, which is where most of the energy comes from. All of that sugar, in addition to the caffeine, can disturb your heart rhythm, increase heart rate, and lead to high blood pressure. One 8.4-ounce Red Bull energy drink contains more than 26 grams of sugar and 75 milligrams of caffeine. Even the sugar-free version has the same amount of caffeine. Don’t rely on liquid energy to keep you going! Fight that fatigue in other ways, for example, by getting quality sleep every night or engaging in regular exercise. And if you need a little energy boost, consider healthy options like unsweetened tea or coffee. 

Drink Plain Water

We shouldn’t have to tell you to drink plain water, but so many people add powders or liquid flavors to water these days. Some people just don’t like the taste of water! Water is neutral, so it doesn’t raise or lower your blood sugar. Drinking water helps you stay hydrated and helps dilute your blood, which helps to regulate blood sugar levels. If you want to add a little more flavor and pizzazz to your water, consider adding fresh fruit and herbs to make detox waters

Don’t Drink Sports Drinks

A lot of people drink nuclear-colored sports drinks on the regular because they think they are healthy. That is 100% false, unless the person is a super endurance athlete and burns calories quicker than they can consume them. A eight-ounce serving of Powerade, for example, nets about 19 grams of carbs, which doesn’t account for the entire bottle. Dietitians only recommend these sports drinks to endurance athletes, who go through strenuous workouts and need the salt and nutrient replenishment. Water will keep you hydrated if you engage in moderate-intensity exercise, and it won’t spike your blood sugar either. 

Drink Tomato Juice Instead Of Sugary Fruit Juice

Do you enjoy drinking juice? Well, it’s best to avoid sugary fruit juices if you have diabetes and opt for smaller portions of vegetable juices instead. 100% tomato juice that doesn’t contain added salt or sugar can provide impressive health benefits. If you drink 1.5 cups of pure tomato juice daily for a month, you may reduce inflammatory markers. Tomato juice has about 10 grams of carbs per cup, so just keep that in mind. It’s better to eat whole fruits and vegetables because it takes quite a lot of them to make fresh juice. Eating a whole tomato per day may reduce blood pressure and lower the risk of heart disease.

It’s very easy to jump off the healthy wagon during the holidays. You somehow continue to indulge, even with the small voice in the back of your head that says, “Don’t eat all of that sugar.” It’s almost too difficult to resist all of the scrumptious foods that come with the holiday season. So what do you do? You promise yourself that you will detox after the holidays, and the goal is to honor that agreement. This article aims to give you five helpful tips that promote that detoxification process. 

The reason that you want to detox immediately after the holidays is so that you don’t continue indulging until January 1st. You are less likely to start the year on a healthier path if you go completely off the rails right up to the year’s end. Detoxing in the days leading up to the new year can propel you into better health; plus, it keeps you more accountable. 

We know that the word “detox” comes with a lot of baggage, and it is intimidating to most people. You don’t have to worry about a crash diet or water fast because the body is resilient and knows how to detox itself. Think of the following tips like little helpers that encourage the body’s natural detoxification processes.

Drink Warm Water With Lemon

Any time you go overboard with food, you should drink more water than usual, especially to start your day. Go one step further and add some fresh lemon juice to a glass of warm water and continue sipping it throughout the day. Lemons have their own health benefits, but combining them with warm water can help promote healthy digestion and hydration. Hydration is paramount after your big holiday meals because water helps your liver and kidneys filter out toxins. 

Tea Time

Sipping on a little tea before and after meals can help keep your metabolism and digestive system firing on all cylinders. There are certain teas, however, that may come to your aid after a day of heavy eating. Fennel tea, for example, works to relieve digestive troubles, including bloating, flatulence, indigestion, constipation, and heartburn. Fennel also works to stimulate digestion and even has carminative effects that prevent the formation of gas by soothing the digestive tract. Peppermint tea can also help soothe your stomach and help get rid of bloating. If you are a nursing mother, steer clear of peppermint tea because it is an anti-galactagogue and will decrease milk supply. 

Yoga

If you want to help bring more balance and energy to your entire body, yoga is the quickest way to do so. According to yogis, including a quick yoga sequence into your day can help ignite your digestive fire and get rid of bloating. In fact, you can click here to learn about the best yoga poses to help get rid of bloating. You’ll be feeling like you never overindulged in no time!

Skip The Coffee

We know…you need that coffee to face the world, but you really don’t. A jolt of java may help you get out of bed, but it also builds up a sugar and carbohydrate craving for the rest of the day. So what should you sip in place of coffee to help digestion and give you a little energy? Studies show that drinking a cup of green tea can help settle your stomach after a large meal. Green tea contains a potent plant compound known as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which prevents cholesterol build-up in the arteries. One study found that EGCG can speed up weight loss by 77%, in addition to helping balance blood sugar levels to keep cravings at bay

Eat Raw Vegetables With Every Meal

In addition to eating cooked vegetables, try to include more raw vegetables with your post-holiday meals. Raw vegetables contain lots of fiber and they help to remove toxins from your body. By encouraging the elimination of waste, you reduce your risk of bloat or the build-up of gas. Fruits are also naturally rich in fiber, so consider starting your day with a fruit and vegetable smoothie. Spinach, bananas, apples, berries, and a little dairy-free milk make an excellent, nutrient-dense smoothie that can help regulate your system and fill you up.

When the summer sun beats down you, what do you grab to refresh your palate and cool off? A cup of cold water is pleasant, but it doesn’t quite do the trick. That’s not to say that you should avoid water because you truly need it when the sun is out. But you need something with a little more pizzazz and a more electrolytes. That’s where this watermelon mint smoothie enters the equation. You sip on this after some fun in the sun and life will seem a whole lot better.

Watermelon is the quintessential summer fruit, but you may not always want to snack on it all the time. Perhaps you buy a large watermelon and need to figure out how to use it all before it goes bad. Incorporating the fruit into smoothies, detox waters, sorbets, or homemade slushies can help you use it before it spoils. Plus, mixing it with different flavors can help keep your taste buds interested in watermelon, especially if you plan on buying one every other week.

Is this watermelon mint smoothie replete with nutrients? Yes, of course, but the goal of this smoothie is to quench your thirst on a long, hot summer day. If you make a large batch, you can serve this smoothie to kids or at a backyard barbecue. You truly can’t go wrong with three simple ingredients! The only thing to remember is to cube and freeze your watermelon overnight. Scatter the cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the freezer the night before you want to make this smoothie. Don’t put the cubes in freezer bags or you will end up with a giant clump of watermelon, which is not easy on your blender!

Detox drinks have gained popularity as popular drinks that aid your weight loss efforts. They contain a mix of fruits, vegetables, herbs, or natural ingredients that boost the body’s ability to eliminate toxins. Think of “detox beverages” as an umbrella term for infused waters, juices, smoothies, teas, and other related drinks. Their appeal is simple: they offer a natural way to encourage detoxification in a refreshing, tasty, and easy-to-consume way. 

What Are The Benefits And Claims?

There is no denying that people regularly ingest pollutants and artificial chemicals on a daily basis. From environmental pollution to heavily processed foods, harmful chemicals and pathogens are near impossible to avoid. Consuming detox drinks can give the body’s natural detoxification processes a helping hand. In fact, some healthcare experts praise detox drinks because they help relieve bloating, gas, headaches, fatigue, and may even help cleanse the liver and digestive tract. 

Because detox drinks contain a diverse mix of natural ingredients, they work to enhance weight loss efforts and reduce inflammation. You may find that you experience a renewed sense of energy after consuming one or more of the drinks in this article. By promoting detoxification, you may experience reduced acne, hydrated skin, better digestion, fewer aches and pains, weight loss, and healthier hair. As always, though, maintaining a healthy diet, optimal sleep, and regular exercise is necessary for optimal health. The following beverages can aid your detox efforts, but they won’t counteract unhealthy diet and poor lifestyle habits. 

Cucumber Mint Detox

Mint can help improve the flow of bile in the stomach and cucumbers help protect the body from oxidative stress. The combination of cucumber, mint, and lemon works well for maintaining the body’s fluid and mineral balance as well. All three ingredients contain beneficial antioxidants that may help improve digestion and neutralize free radicals. Prepare this drink by washing, peeling, and slicing two cucumbers. Add the sliced cucumbers, a handful of fresh mint leaves, and a sliced lemon to a large pitcher. Fill with water, stir, and refrigerate for about an hour so the flavors can infuse into the water. Sip and enjoy.

Orange Carrot Ginger Detox

Get ready for a major dose of beta-carotene and vitamin C, two antioxidant compounds that contribute to optimal digestion and immune function. According to health studies, beta-carotene may aid your weight loss efforts by improving digestion, just like ginger. Praised for its anti-inflammatory properties, ginger may reduce bloating, improve digestion, and reduce stomach cramps. In order to make this drink, juice one large carrot and two oranges separately. Pour both the orange and carrot juices into a blender and add one tablespoon each of freshly grated turmeric and ginger root. Blend for 30 seconds, strain the mixture, and then serve. 

Pomegranate Aloe Vera Detox

Not only is this a visually stunning beverage, but it also does wonders for your digestive and immune systems. The important instruction here is to use fresh aloe vera, not store bought aloe juice. You want that gel straight from the source! Aloe vera has been known to reduce bloating, regulate bowel movements, relieve constipation, and improve digestive discomfort. Beet juice works to cleanse the liver, improve circulation, and cleanse the blood. Pomegranates happen to be one of the richest sources of antioxidants, which fight free radicals and boost immune function. To make this juice, peel the rind from an aloe vera plant leaf. Discard the rind and reserve about two tablespoons of aloe vera gel. Add that to a blender with two cups of unsweetened pomegranate juice and 1/2 cup of diced beet. Blend until smooth and mix in a dash of black pepper prior to serving. 

Simple Lemon Detox

Drinking water is obviously beneficial for your health, promoting optimal circulation and waste elimination. Infusing your water with lemon can help enhance those efforts. Lemons are naturally rich in vitamin C, which benefits your bones, gums, skin, and immune system. It’s very easy to create this detox drink because all you have to do is squeeze two to three lemons in one liter of water. Add a pinch of sea salt, mix, and enjoy over ice. 

Ginger Lychee Lemon Detox

As stated earlier, ginger is rich in anti-inflammatory properties that may ward off inflammation. Some research indicates that ginger may help the body cleanse certain organs. Additionally, lychee fruit contains epicatechin and rutin, two antioxidant compounds that help protect against chronic diseases, cataracts, oxidative stress, and more. Find a large mason jar and place a half-cup of minced ginger, half-cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and one cup of fresh lychee juice. Add ice to your desired temperature and a pinch of sea salt, mix, and then enjoy. You have the option to add some sliced grapes and a couple tablespoons of chia seeds for added nutritional benefits.

Drinking a glass of water when you wake up in the morning is not just a social media trend. Water is necessary for your survival, and becoming the hydration champ is a way to inspire others to drink more. Your morning water game can positively influence metabolism, detoxification, and hydration efforts. When you start your day by sipping a tall glass of water, not only do you begin the rehydration process, but you also help clear out metabolic waste. 

A glass of water in the morning is essential to bring you back to life. If you recently jumped on the warm lemon water train, you’re doing an excellent service to your body, but that can bore your palate after a while. There’s nothing wrong with drinking lemon water, though. In fact, many dermatologists agree that drinking lemon water can help the body manage inflammation. When you drink lemon water on an empty stomach, it helps to balance the body by inducing a more alkaline state. An alkaline body is anti-inflammatory to the skin and rest of the body. Additionally, the vitamin C inside lemon water works to slow the signs of aging by stimulating collagen production. Collagen naturally declines with age, so starting your day with lemon water may encourage healthier skin. 

When you prioritize hydration in the morning, your entire body will benefit. That doesn’t mean that your water has to be boring, though. Make your morning water interesting and nutrient-dense by making some of the supercharged waters below.

Grapefruit Rosemary Water

If you have grown tired of lemon water and need to spruce up your H20, this is going to excite your taste buds. Grapefruit rosemary water is refreshing, herbaceous, and packed with tons of vitamin C. As mentioned earlier, vitamin C helps to regulate collagen synthesis, but it also helps to neutralize free radicals. An overabundance of free radicals in the body can contribute to oxidative stress, which accelerates signs of aging.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 unpeeled grapefruit, sliced
  • 2-4 sprigs rosemary, rinsed
  • 3 cups of ice, or more
  • Enough purified water to fill a 1/2 gallon pitcher

Instructions:

  • Place the grapefruit slices and rosemary sprigs in a pitcher. Pour in the ice and add more if you like.
  • Pour enough water to fill the pitcher, stir, and refrigerate for about two hours so the flavors and nutrients can infuse into. Enjoy when ready. 

Honey Lemon Water

Adding raw organic honey to lemon water is a great way to mellow the intense tartness of the lemon. In a 16-ounce glass, mix three teaspoons of honey with the juice of one lemon. Honey exhibits antibacterial, antimicrobial, and anti-aging properties, which contribute to healthier skin. You may find that drinking this water every morning helps rejuvenate the skin and improve overall complexion. 

Ingredients:

  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 3 teaspoons raw organic honey
  • 16 ounces purified water

Instructions:

  • Add the lemon juice and honey to a large glass and stir well with a mixing spoon.
  • Pour in the water and continue mixing to thoroughly mix. Enjoy.

Watermelon Basil Water

Not only does this duo pack a flavorful punch, but it also supercharges your hydration efforts. Watermelon is about 92% water, making it great for enhancing hydration and combating water retention. It is also rich in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that may help reduce inflammation. Basil also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, but it also benefits the skin by regulating oil production. 

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups watermelon, cubed
  • Handful of basil
  • 1 liter purified water

Instructions:

  • Add the watermelon and basil to a large glass pitcher that can hold a liter of water.
  • Pour in the water and mix well. Place in the refrigerator for a couple hours to allow the flavors time to infuse into the water.
  • Enjoy fresh out of the fridge or pour over ice.

Summer is approaching quickly, which means warmer days and an increased risk of dehydration. The intense heat calls for more water consumption, but plain H2O can bore the palate. Since water is still the ultimate hydrating beverage, you cannot abandon it completely, but you can enhance it by making detox waters.

What Are Detox Waters?

Detox waters are easy to make because all you have to do is include a variety of fruits, herbs, or vegetables in your water. Not only do these ingredients add refreshing flavors to your water, but they can also assist with fat burning and toxin elimination. Think of detox waters as a simpler version of homemade juices or smoothies without all the prep work. You still reap the benefits of the ingredients in the water! Additionally, people are more inclined to drink water that has flavor, as opposed to regular water. 

If a slimmer body is your summer goal, the best gift you can give yourself is a series of detox water recipes. Since hydration is one of the most integral components to weight loss, it is wise to drink up, but not with caloric-rich beverages. During warmer weather, people tend to eat less and sweat more. That’s great news if you want to lose weight. You do, however, have to replenish the electrolytes you lose via sweat. Add the following detox waters to your summer weight loss regimen and you could emerge a slimmer, healthier version of yourself. 

5 Detox Water Recipes

Green Apple, Cucumber, & Mint Detox Water

All of the ingredients in this detox water have a common denominator: they’re all green. Mint is a natural breath freshener and aids with digestion. Cucumbers enhance hydration and contain antioxidants that may reduce the risk of heart disease. Apples are rich in fiber and the minerals may work to enhance metabolism. In a pitcher, combine half of a cucumber (thinly sliced), half of an apple (thinly sliced), and a handful of mint. Fill with water and refrigerate for a couple hours before serving.

Lemon Blueberry Detox Water

Besides being one of the most beautiful detox waters on this list, this lemon blueberry detox water is rich in antioxidants. According to several studies, blueberries may help to improve memory, fight urinary tract infections, and reduce overall cholesterol and blood pressure levels. Both blueberries and lemons are naturally rich in vitamin C, which can enhance immune function. Lemons also help to promote alkalinity within the body, and they assist with toxin elimination. In 16 ounces of water, combine about 4-6 thin slices of lemon and 10-15 blueberries. Refrigerate for a couple hours and then enjoy.

Pomegranate, Mint, & Lemon Detox Water

There isn’t a negative thing to say about the ingredients in this detox water. Pomegranates have been known to decrease the risk of joint pain, heart disease, and certain cancers. Many studies attribute these abilities to the antioxidants. Lemon is the most used fruit during summer and it has been known to boost weight loss efforts. The vitamin C also works to rejuvenate the skin. Similarly, mint also contributes to healthier skin, and it may act as a stimulant for those who experience depression. Pour two liters of water into a large pitcher. Add in about one cup of pomegranate arils, the juice of half a lemon (then add in the half you juiced), and a handful of mint. Refrigerate this for a couple hours and then serve. 

Apple Cinnamon Detox Water

This classic dessert duo does more than make apple pie delicious. Cinnamon works to naturally boost metabolism and enhance your body’s fat burning power. As well mentioned earlier, applies are rich in fiber, which may assist with improving digestion. Additionally, apples are low in fat and can help alleviate breathing troubles for asthmatics. To make this detox water, add half of an apple (thinly sliced) and one teaspoon of cinnamon to 24 ounces of purified water. You can add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to the mix if you want to boost the fat-burning benefits. Just like the other recipes, refrigerate this mixture for a couple hours before serving. It works best if you drink this in the morning.

Grapefruit Mint Detox Water

For this final detox water, get ready to experience numerous health benefits and optimal hydration. Grapefruit is naturally rich in vitamin C and has been known to aid with liver cleansing, skin rejuvenation, cholesterol reduction, and fat burning. Additional studies found that grapefruit may increase metabolism, encourage optimal digestion, and protect against kidney stones. Mint may be able to treat your stomach woes, but it can also enhance immune function, given that it’s rich in vitamins A, C, D, & E, and phosphorus and calcium. To make this detox water, cut a large grapefruit into thin slices and add them to a pitcher of water that has four to five cups of filtered water. Add a handful of mint and give it a stir. Refrigerate for a couple hours before serving.
