As we dive into summer, it's time to get your skin ready for the sun-kissed season. At bikini.web.heartfoundation.org, we believe that heart health and skin care go hand-in-hand.
Exfoliate regularly to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub or a chemical exfoliant containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs).
Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Aim for at least 8 cups (64 ounces) daily to keep your skin plump and healthy.
Eating heart-healthy foods can help you achieve your fitness goals and maintain overall well-being. Focus on consuming lean proteins, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
Incorporate omega-3 rich foods like salmon and walnuts into your diet to support heart health. Also, include antioxidant-rich foods such as berries and leafy greens in your meals.
Summer is the perfect time to get outside and engage in physical activities that promote heart health. Try swimming, cycling, or hiking with friends and family.
Incorporate stress-reducing activities like yoga or meditation into your daily routine. These practices can help lower blood pressure and improve overall well-being.
