Spring is finally HERE! When you think of spring cleaning, we tend to think of housework, but the new season is also the perfect time to refresh our mind and body.
We all know spring cleaning our homes can be such a chore, but when it comes to our bodies, it’s much easier. Simply adding lemon to your drinking water or adding more fresh fruit and vegetables to your diet are all ways you can flush out the bad and bring in the good this spring.
Here are 7 ways to spring clean your body and mind.
Two Letters, 1 Number: H2O
Water is essential to life. As the weather gets warmer, it’s important to drink lots of water to prevent dehydration. Be sure to up your water intake this spring. To calculate your body’s ideal water intake, divide your weight (i.e. lbs) in half to arrive at the number of ounces you should be drinking on a daily basis (e.g. 140 lbs ÷ 2 = 70 ounces).
To get a quick energy boost to balance and replenish your electrolytes, try our COCONUT OIL MCT ENERGY & Electrolytes®* formula, which has been specially formulated to support electrolyte balance and hydration throughout your body, as well as delivering a quick-boost of cellular energy.*
Support wellness with B Vitamins*
B vitamins are some of the most important tools that your cells use to get their jobs done. There are hundreds if not thousands of known biochemical reactions in the body that require one or many B-Vitamins. They are important for metabolism, energy production, the maintenance of a healthy nervous system, and are used in a variety of chemical reactions related to cellular detoxification.* Yeah, you said it…these are some seriously important nutrients.

Think about Fitness
Warmer weather means that you’ll have more reasons to get outdoors and hopefully the improved weather will encourage you to hit the gym. Not only will working out help stimulate blood flow, oxygenating every cell of your body, and providing you more energy, but your mind also benefits from exercise. Overall, exercise is the best way to promote health of the body and mind, and it doesn’t cost a dime! Be sure to check out our Sports Performance formulas to help you on your fitness journey.*
Eat Fresh Fruits and Veggies
We may be preaching to the choir about this one, but always, always, always get enough fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet! Not only do fruits and vegetables provide the micronutrients your body needs to maintain the health of each cell in your body, but they also provide valuable fiber that can help you stay regular and enjoy the benefits of a healthy digestive tract. Check your local farmers market and see what’s springing up with spring!
Spring cleaning your health may also involve a bit of actual spring cleaning your medicine cabinet. It’s a great time to make sure all your over-the-counter health products are not expired, and the same holds for your prescription medications. Happy Spring Everyone! Be sure to stop and smell the blossoming flowers.
