Summer 2024 is just around the corner, and with it the bikini operation; And what better way to look healthy and fit with these 5 essential tips that we are going to give you? Don’t miss them and be prepared for the most anticipated season of the year!
1. Take care of your diet
It is the advice that we have to take into account the most, because it is useless to have a fit and active life if we do not accompany our physical activity with a rich and healthy diet that contains all the nutrients that our body needs to be hydrated, strong, that our muscles are recomposed, and it provides us with sufficient fiber and energy.
Maintaining a balanced diet means eating what provides us with all the nutrients we need to have optimal functioning of our body.
A balanced nutrition provides the appropriate proportion of macronutrients, micronutrients and fiber, depending on our age, sex, height, physical activity, lifestyle and other conditions such as, for example, suffering from a pathology or disease. For this it is necessary to be clear about what is necessary to have balanced nutrition.
Why breakfast is so important
Breakfast is essential for activate our metabolism and replenish the minerals and vitamins that our body uses while we sleep.
Breakfast should be balanced, and not exceed 20% of the day’s calories. Some ideal foods that our breakfast can contain are:
- Fruit.
- Cereals.
- Dairy.
- Infusions or coffee.
- Nuts.
- Products of animal origin.
Eat 5 meals a day
It is important to eat 5 times a day to have the necessary nutrients to face all these daily actions; and pay special attention to mid-morning meals and snacks.
The objective of eating between main meals is to arrive less hungry at the next meal or “main meal”, so that we consume a smaller amount of food, and we can have better digestive health, thus distributing the calorie intake throughout of the day.
Intermediate meals are small portions of foods that incorporate nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins and fats, and foods such as a piece of fruit, some toast, cookies, cereals, energy bars or natural juices are recommended.
The midday meal is responsible for making us recover the energy consumed and spent. In this meal it is important to consume foods that provide us with energy immediately or as quickly as possible, such as carbohydrates; and also strength.
Finally, dinner is as important as any of the other meals, and should provide us with around 20% of our daily calories. It is recommended that we avoid fatty sausages, pre-cooked, fried, spicy dishes and soft drinks so as not to alter the metabolism during sleeping hours during the night.
Stay hydrated
If we want to maintain proper hydration, the most important thing is to drink at least 2 liters of water a day: but natural fruit juices or refreshing low-sugar teas can also help us stay hydrated. There are also foods with high water content such as watermelon, melon, lettuce or cucumber, among many others, which provide up to 20% of water to our body.
On the other hand, the biggest enemy of hydration are alcoholic or very sugary drinks, such as soft drinks, since they produce the opposite effect: they dehydrate us.
Another tip for this summer is to avoid going outside during the hottest hours, unless it is strictly necessary.
2. Maintain an active life
Leading an active and healthy life is not as difficult as it may seem. Below we discuss some tips to be active on a daily basis in an easy, simple and effective way.
Whenever possible, we should choose our legs as the best means of transportation so that our body is active and moving. We recommend doing at least 7000 steps daily.
If your workplace runs statically, that is, in an office, we must do stretches or get up to stretch our legs for 5 minutes for every hour of work, in order to reactivate the body.
The importance of doing sports
Playing sports should not be an option, but rather a responsibility that we must adopt to be healthy and strong, and have a better quality of life.
It is recommended to train three times a week. There are millions of technical and sports disciplines, such as yoga, crossfit, bodycombat, bodypump… but what is really important is that the sport you do motivates you and you like it enough to practice it regularly; Otherwise, we will not turn it into a routine, but into an obligation, and that leads to premature abandonment of the activity.
If you don’t have time to train, Electrostimulation is your greatest ally
Having free time is more difficult every day. We have a stressful routine full of obligations and responsibilities, but sports technology is on our side with Wiemspro.
With Wiemspro you will be able to do more effective training in the shortest time possible thanks to the EMS (Electromuscular stimulation) as the perfect complement to achieve your fitness goals.
Electrostimulation applied to your physical activity allows you to train less times a week, and in shorter training sessions, but achieving the same objectives as a 2-hour training 3 times a week.
This is thanks to the fact that electrostimulation is a great stimulator for lose weigth, tone and define muscles, as it promotes a correct acceleration of metabolism, allowing you, in this way, to achieve your goals more quickly and effectively.
This EMS training system offers numerous benefits both physically and mentally. With electrostimulation as a complement to your training, you can achieve significant results without risk of injury, eliminate fat and cellulite, treat injuries or eliminate stress, among many other benefits.
Electrostimulation helps you drain fluids to lose weight
As you already know, the human body is made up of 70% water. Having water helps cells transport nutrients.
It is important to have a perfect balance of water since, otherwise we can prevent the passage of liquids and generate a “jam” in the interstitial area, causing fluid retention in our body.
Fluid retention is totally linked to weight loss, which is why it is important to have good fluid drainage if we have weight loss as a key objective.
To promote good fluid drainage and promote weight loss, it is essential to be hydrated, eat foods rich in fiber, and use electrostimulation to promote the expulsion of these fluids.
4. Mens sana in corpore sana
Health goes beyond physical aspects, and as the phrase “Mens sana in corpore sana” says, it is important to take into account both our mental and physical health to be able to lead a healthy life.
To be healthy it is necessary for everything to be balanced and with a positive attitude.
Sport is essential to keep us balanced, and it is the best ally to “be happy”, since playing sports releases endorphins: the hormone of happiness; Plus, there’s nothing like feeling accomplished after a good training session.
On the other hand, thanks to specific relaxation programs, electrostimulation helps maintain correct sleep hygiene, and helps release stress, making us feel calmer and more relaxed when falling asleep.
5. Protect and take care of your skin in summer 2024
Having tanned and hydrated skin is not impossible in summer.
Did you know that the best natural tanner is to have a good diet rich in vegetables? A diet rich in beta-carotene, vitamin C and E and omega 3 will give us more tanned, hydrated and healthy skin.
- Beta-carotenes are found in most orange, red or yellow fruits or vegetables, such as tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, papaya, cherries, among others.
You should know that having tanned skin goes beyond the aesthetic field. Melanocytes protect us from damage derived from solar radiation, producing melanin, which is responsible for absorbing radiation as a defense mechanism of the body, and which at the same time tans our skin as a consequence.
This does not mean that you can sunbathe in any way, quite the opposite. It must be done safely, avoiding hours of maximum exposure and using a sun protection cream that is suitable for our skin.
Conclusions
As you will see, being healthy and fit this summer 2024 is as simple as, in short, having good eating habits, not skipping any meals, choosing foods well at dinner time, being properly hydrated, promoting physical activity and an active life, rest properly to have enough energy in our daily lives, and protect our skin from solar radiation and external agents.
