Summer is the season of sun, vacations and lightheartedness… but for those who want to stay in shape, it can be a demanding time.

Heat, sudden changes in temperature, irregular diets and different rhythms risk ruining the results achieved during the year.

This is why it is useful to adopt targeted strategies to take care of the body even in the hottest months.

Why it's harder to stay fit in summer

High temperatures affect the body's well-being in various ways:

• Excessive heat: It reduces energy and makes physical activity less attractive.
• Water retention: more frequent due to poor hydration and vasodilation.
• Temperature changes: Between the heat outside and the air conditioning, the body becomes stressed and can react with swelling or metabolic slowdowns.
• Irregular diet: skipped meals, frequent aperitifs or unbalanced snacks.

Result? Feeling of heaviness, swelling, loss of tone… even in those who maintain an active lifestyle.

6 Effective Tips to Stay Fit in Summer

1. Drink water and include hydrating foods in your diet

In summer, hydration is the first ally of well-being. In addition to water, enrich your day with:

• fresh fruit and vegetables (watermelon, cucumber, courgettes, pineapple…)
• natural smoothies
• cold herbal teas based on draining ingredients (such as birch, horsetail or orthosiphon).

2. Train during the coolest hours of the day

To stay toned without tiring, choose short but constant workouts.
Ideals:

• fast walking
• free body exercises
• water activities

Avoid the scorching heat and prefer early morning or late afternoon.

3. Choose breathable technical clothing

Technical garments help the body regulate temperature, drain better and limit swelling.
