How to Prepare for a Healthy Summer
The first day of summer is just around the corner, and we can't wait!

Here are some of our favorite ways to prepare for the best summer of your life!
How to Prepare for a Healthy Summer
- Reassess your New Year's resolutions.
It's the halfway point to the New Year, gang! It is never too late to restart your efforts. Since the warmer weather is a great motivator for new workout routines and diet changes, it's the perfect time to begin a healthy new challenge in order to get back on track. - Invest some extra time in yourself.
Schedules can get packed pretty quickly during the summertime. It seems there are an endless amount of BBQ's, festivals, concerts, vacations, and events to attend, and it can easily cause someone to neglect their alone time. Practice being more mindful, and remember that it is okay to take a day to relax and recharge your batteries. - Prepare your skin for the extra sunlight!
The best way to prevent wrinkles and skin damage is to drink plenty of water, and slather on that sunscreen. Now that the sun will be out more often, it is important to protect your largest organ. - Ramp up your fluid intake.
Warmer temperatures equals more sweat. There is a constant need to keep replenishing your fluids, but it is increased even more at this time of year. There are plenty of benefits to drinking a lot of water every day, and True Citrus products will help increase the desire to keep on sipping. - Try some new healthy (seasonal) recipes.
We love seeing the new varieties of brightly colored and delicious fruits and vegetables this time of year. Try some new recipes to spice up your weekly menu, and shop at the local farmer's market for new seasonal produce. - Get creative with your summer workouts.
Try changing up your exercise routine with something new. Get out of the gym, and into the great outdoors!
