Het wordt ineens veel leuker om naar buiten te gaan om te sporten, zwemmen of te zonnebaden. Veel mensen zijn al even bezig om hun lichaam meer in vorm te krijgen voor de zomer, waarbij ze proberen het extra gewicht  (en de corona kilo&#8217;s) kwijt te raken die ze afgelopen periode hebben opgedaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as the days get long, the coziness outside becomes noticeable and the terraces beckon, it is very treacherous to let your good habits fall. But some of these habits are essential to staying healthy and energized all summer long, helping to make the most of every sun-filled minute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Try a morning workout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If the heat isn&#039;t for you and certainly doesn&#039;t allow you to exercise, try getting up a little earlier to exercise. This will help you beat the heat, but it will also benefit you throughout the day. Exercising at the start of the day will make you feel more energetic, increase your metabolism and produce endorphins in your body, which will lighten your mood. By starting your day on this positive note, you can experience that happiness throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Start swimming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#039;t like running, or find that the heat is too much for you, or suffer from joint problems, swimming is a great exercise option. It&#039;s easier on your joints because they don&#039;t have to constantly absorb the shock of your weight, and it&#039;s also great for your muscle tone and heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swimming actually burns quite a few calories, but how much depends on the intensity and duration of the swim, as well as the type of stroke you use. However, as a general rule, an hour of leisurely swimming will burn more than 400 calories. Like any exercise, swimming will increase your metabolism, help you feel more energized, and release endorphins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Eat a healthy breakfast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not an issue if you are currently in your <a href=\"https:\/\/codetofreedom.com\/en\/benefits-intermittent-fasting-intermittent-fasting\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"67\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">intermittent fasting<\/a> periode zit, maar het ontbijt is voor velen een essenti\u00eble maaltijd aan het begin van de dag. Hoe druk je het ook hebt, het is goed om iets te eten om jezelf op weg te helpen. Het eten van een gezond ontbijt geeft je &#8217;s ochtends een energieboost en vermindert je verlangen om te snacken. Als je &#8217;s ochtends meestal haast hebt, probeer dan van tevoren een ontbijt klaar te maken. Je kunt de avond ervoor snel gezonde maaltijden bereiden, zoals overnight oats of yoghurt en fruit, om ze vervolgens mee naar buiten te nemen zodra je het huis verlaat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Protect your skin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Those bright rays can feel great, but they can damage your skin if you&#039;re not careful. While sunlight is the necessary <a href=\"https:\/\/codetofreedom.com\/en\/6-healthy-benefits-sunlight-sunshine-vitamin-d\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"744\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vitamin D<\/a> supplies in moderate doses, too much sun exposure causes your skin to get sunburnt, is more likely to lead to early wrinkles and increases your risk of developing skin cancer. So when you go outside, it&#039;s always smart to apply a layer of sunscreen and protect your skin enough. Apply sunscreen to any exposed skin, including your scalp, ears, and neck. Treat your lips with balm with <a href=\"https:\/\/nl.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sun_Protection_Factor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SPF<\/a>. Remember to reapply during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/codetofreedom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2021-06-07-Over-2-weken-start-de-zomer-met-deze-tips-geniet-je-extra-en-gezond-van-de-zonovergoten-dagen-blijf-gehydrateerd-en-bescherm-je-huid.jpg\" alt=\"Protect your skin from sunburn and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated!\" class=\"wp-image-2453\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/codetofreedom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2021-06-07-Over-2-weken-start-de-zomer-met-deze-tips-geniet-je-extra-en-gezond-van-de-zonovergoten-dagen-blijf-gehydrateerd-en-bescherm-je-huid.jpg 600w, https:\/\/codetofreedom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2021-06-07-Over-2-weken-start-de-zomer-met-deze-tips-geniet-je-extra-en-gezond-van-de-zonovergoten-dagen-blijf-gehydrateerd-en-bescherm-je-huid-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/codetofreedom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2021-06-07-Over-2-weken-start-de-zomer-met-deze-tips-geniet-je-extra-en-gezond-van-de-zonovergoten-dagen-blijf-gehydrateerd-en-bescherm-je-huid-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/codetofreedom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2021-06-07-Over-2-weken-start-de-zomer-met-deze-tips-geniet-je-extra-en-gezond-van-de-zonovergoten-dagen-blijf-gehydrateerd-en-bescherm-je-huid-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption>Protect your skin from sunburn and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated! (<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/0JZgnNL2N8s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">fig<\/a>.)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2>Stay hydrated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>About 75% of people are actually constantly dehydrated. This ongoing dehydration can be exacerbated by the summer heat and extra activity, leaving you even more dehydrated and perhaps even causing symptoms such as nausea, dizziness or heat stroke. To avoid this, make sure you drink plenty of fluids and eat snacks like fruits, which are loaded with fluids. The average adult should drink at least a liter and a half of water a day! If you find yourself having trouble getting yourself to drink enough water, change it up by throwing in some lemon, lime, or other fruit and adding a little more flavor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Do more with the bike<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An easy way to avoid a traffic jam? Cruise to work by bike. It is also a boon to your heart health. According to research, people who go to work reduced <a href=\"https:\/\/codetofreedom.com\/en\/10-reasons-why-cycling-healthy-for-you\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2411\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cycled<\/a> their risk of cardiovascular disease by almost half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you live too far away to cycle to work, try cycling to the places you visit more often instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Spend more time outdoors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is sometimes hard to achieve if you have a busy office job where you spend most of the day indoors, but even going outside to eat your lunch in the grass will really do you good. Naturally <a href=\"https:\/\/codetofreedom.com\/en\/6-healthy-benefits-sunlight-sunshine-vitamin-d\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"744\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sunlight is a great source of vitamin D<\/a>, which helps you maintain healthy bones and improves your mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can, go for a walk or picnic, or do another outdoor activity that you enjoy. Spending time in nature has been proven to lower blood pressure, improve mental health, improve focus and performance on creative tasks, boost your immune system, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Het is zo gezond voor je dat er in Japan een woord voor is, wat zich vertaalt naar &#8216;bosbaden&#8217;. Je zult merken dat wat tijd doorbrengen in de natuur je zomer op veel manieren zal verbeteren en je zal helpen productiever te zijn als je aan het werk bent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Also take the time to relax<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Relaxing is incredibly important for your mental and physical health, so it&#039;s important that you do it every now and then. Take a break to go to the beach or the mountains and just relax and enjoy the sun. But even when you&#039;re relaxing, you can find ways to move and stay active without even noticing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During your beach vacation, take a few hours to visit an art fair on the boardwalk or wander through a museum. You&#039;ll walk a lot farther doing this than you probably think, getting some much-needed exercise while fully enjoying yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All that fun in the sun can be taxing on your body. Make sure to take a break from the heat every now and then to prevent heat-related illnesses, including heat exhaustion and heat rash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Finally about good habits for the summer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While some of these habits take some effort to incorporate into your daily routine, many of them are fun and easy to implement. They&#039;re all great habits that will keep you happy and healthy this summer, whether you&#039;re on a long or short vacation. With a little discipline, these habits can also be modified to keep you happy and healthy all year round!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy the weather and keep shining yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><small class=\"sources\">Sources ao BeforeYouBet (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beforeyoubet.org\/5-healthy-summer-habits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">link<\/a>), DallasCosmeticDental (<a href=\"https:\/\/dallascosmeticdental.com\/summer-healthy-habits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">link<\/a>), EveryDayHealth (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.everydayhealth.com\/heart-health\/healthy-habits-adopt-summer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">link<\/a>)<\/small><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>De lange, warme zomerdagen doen je weer denken aan leuke activiteiten en gewoonten die tijdens de koude of regenachtige maanden niet mogelijk waren.
