Summertime is upon us here in Southern California but that doesn’t mean that our everyday responsibilities have to fall to the wayside. Here’s a list of things you can do to reduce stress and have happier days while enjoying all of the sunshine.

YOGA

Yoga is a wonderful way to engage with your spiritual and mental wellbeing. Improve your physical flexibility and improve your overall health with a powerful and transformational 21-minute daily practice. On June 24th and 25th, you can experience “Inner Engineering with Sadhguru” at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The event will offer participants a chance to learn in Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya, an ancient transformative yoga practice led by famous yogi Sadhguru. Practicing yoga in his presence will allow you to tap into yourself and unlock the core of your being. Tickets are expected to go fast. Purchase tickets to see Sadhguru here and get ready to be revitalized.

DRINK WATER

Hydration is a major key to being physically healthy and makes sure that everything is running correctly. The ideal way to keep hydrated for men is to drink roughly 3.5 liters of water per day while women should expect to drink around 2.5 liters per day, according to the Mayo Clinic. If you don’t have a reusable water bottle that you carry throughout the day, then we suggest getting one. Iron Flask makes a wonderful sports style water bottle that will knock out just over 1 liter of water per fill.

IV THERAPY

For those that aren’t able to stay hydrated throughout the day, or night, then you might consider trying IV therapy at a reputable location. In a short amount of time one can go from being dehydrated to fully hydrated in a fraction of the time that it would normally take. We’d recommend The Solution which has three locations to fuel yourself up in Hermosa Beach, West Hollywood and Long Beach. If you haven’t tried IV therapy, we’d suggest giving it a shot on a day when you’re not feeling your best to see the immediate impact it can have to refresh your mind and body.

EATING HEALTHY 

One way to feel energized throughout the day and not be bogged down is to eat healthier food throughout the day. Foods heavy in fat, sugar or sodium can cause your system to slow down in order to break down the food. By putting in fresh, lighter foods, you can change the amount of energy you are able to output each day. Easier said than done, right? Eating healthy doesn’t mean you’re stuck in your kitchen at home.Treat yourself to a restaurant that is able to make amazing food that is also healthy and fresh. Our favorite healthy spot in the LA area is Tocaya Organica which has numerous locations in the metro area and makes modern Mexican cuisine. We’d recommend trying one of their bowls which are chock full of flavor but low in calories.
