We all have events and occasions to look forward to and prepare for, however, summer will allow you to go above and beyond if you’re not mindful of eating habits. The habit of emotional eating can creep in so suddenly. What are the steps you and I should take to prevent obesity by the end of summer and the winter hol-

Steps to remain fit for the summer. Early morning workouts: I personally find that doing early morning workouts and being consistent helps you to be determined and have a disciplined lifestyle.

Get some extra vitamin D by taking your workouts outside. Instead of staying indoors on the treadmill or bike, move your cardio outside. Visit your local trails for a walk, run, or intervals. You can also switch up your cardio with something fun like kayaking, paddleboarding, or skating. There are plenty of fun options to get out into the fresh air (How to Stay Fit Over the Sum-

You are what you eat: Summertime usually means more parties with friends and family. You don’t need to skip the summer BBQ’s. Grilling is actually one of the healthier ways to prepare food. Grilling over high heat helps release fat from meat, making it significantly lower in calories compared to frying. When you grill your food, the fat melts and drips off instead of staying in a pan. Grill even

• Eating in moderation children are getting more and more exposed to EMFs at a younger age, increasing their chance of cancer and health problems as they get older.

• Add more veggies. Peppers, onions, and zucchini are all great choices to prep on the grill. Toss them in a bit of olive oil before putting on the grill.

• Stick with lean proteins like chicken breast, smoked turkey, or shrimp instead of higher fat pork and beef options.

Hydration: It is key for staying healthy over the summer. More than 40% of people who exercise are at least partially dehydrated during their workouts. The increased temperatures and activity can lead you to need more water than usual. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends active people have at least 16-20 ounces of water 1-2 hours before outdoor activity – meaning you need to drink up before you even start your workout to stay hydrated (How to Stay Fit Over the Summer, n.d.).

Listen to your body: If you begin to feel dizzy, nauseous, or tired, give yourself a break. Taking some time off for rest is better than overdoing your workout and getting sick or injured and having to stop working out altogether. If the summer heat proves to be too much of a challenge for your standard high-intensity workout, break it up into multiple smaller workouts throughout the day. This will allow your body time to rest and refuel without jeopardizing your fitness and workout goals (7 Tips for Staying for This Summer, n.d.).

Watch what you eat and when you eat it: Don’t workout on a full stomach, a light snack is all you need. After you workout, you want to eat a high protein meal because it will replenish your body and keep you full longer (7 Tips for Staying for This Summer, n.d.).

You can’t escape the presence of EMFs in our everyday lives, but we can make a more con-scious effort to limit and/or neutralize our exposure to common sources like cell phones, lap-tops, Bluetooth devices like air pods, and electrical appliances like TV’s and microwaves.

Natural ways to protect against EMF

While it may be challenging to completely eliminate exposure to EMF, there are many natu-ral methods that can help minimize potential harm:

Reduce device usage

Limit the use of electronic devices, especially those emitting higher EMF levels like cell phones and Wi-Fi routers. Opt for wired connections when possible.

Create EMF-free zones

Designate certain areas in your home as EMF-free zones, such as bedrooms, where you can limit electronic devices.

Utilize airplane mode

Put your phone on airplane mode when not in use to reduce radiation emissions.

Use mixed metal jewellery

Wearing jewellery made from mixed metals, like copper and silver, can help neutralize EMF radiation. Elite Shungite stone is also great to wear in the form of a necklace, earrings or bracelet, can act as a constant neutralizer of EMFs.

Himalayan salt lamps

Salt lamps release negative ions into the air, which can help counteract the effects of EMF radiation. A great location is under the computer desk, where your bottom half is exposed to the computer tower, router and wires.

Grounding techniques

Spending time in nature, such as walking barefoot on grass or soil, is believed to promote grounding, which helps balance the body’s electrical systems.

EMF is an ever-present aspect of our technologically advanced world, and while the majority of electronic devices emit non-ionizing EMF at levels deemed safe, prolonged exposure can still pose potential health risks. It is essential to stay informed and take precautionary measures to minimize unnecessary exposure.

Ultimately, as research on EMF continues, it is necessary to strike a balance between bene-fiting from modern technology and taking conscious steps to protect ourselves from potential health risks associated with excessive EMF exposure.
