Okay, so are you ready for summer with seaweed?!
No? We’re well into July so you may be thinking it’s too late to get ready for summer – but it’s never too late to make yourself feel better. Whether it’s for an upcoming sunny getaway or if you’re simply feeling a bit under the weather.
Here are our top tips on making yourself feel great for the summer with seaweed!
1. Get outdoors!
If you’re reading this from the beautiful British Isles then you’ll agree when I say we aren’t usually graced with the presence of the sun for a long period of time. That’s why we need to make the most of it while it lasts! It’s important to get enough vitamin D in to your body by exposing your skin to sunlight – but don’t overdo it! To get ready for summer safely, always wear sunscreen and if you ever feel yourself burning, go inside straight away.
2. Spend time with friends and family!
A great way of getting that vitamin D boost is by spending time with your loved ones outdoors. Take a walk together, do outdoor activities. Head to the beach for a BBQ or have a picnic! We created some great BBQ recipes to get you ready for summer with seaweed by using our Weed & Wonderful Seaweed Infused Oils. They went down a storm!
3. Exercise!
We’re not saying you need the ‘perfect bikini body’ in order to be ready for summer.
What we are saying is that exercise is good for you. It’s good for your body, good for your mind and good for your soul. So good, in fact, that it’s recommended by professionals at the NHS to get a daily dose of exercise. Whether it’s a gentle stroll or a big sweat busting session. “Whatever your age, there’s strong scientific evidence that being physically active can help you lead a healthier and happier life”.

4. Fuel your body.
Along with exercise, a balanced, nutritious diet is key to feeling great. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, pescetarian, gluten free or simply eat anything and everything. You still need to have a well rounded diet made up of all the essential vitamins and nutrients your body needs to function.
Particularly for those following a dairy-free diet – iodine and calcium can often be missed when it comes to meals. Seaweed is an incredible source of both, with just two of our Weed & Wonderful Organic Seaweed Supplements containing as much iodine as 3 mackerel and as much iron as 30g spinach! For more information about the need for iodine in a modern day diet check out this recent blog post.
Be savvy in the sun this summer, and be ready for summer with seaweed.
Be confident in your own skin. Be mindful of what you’re putting in to your body and most of all enjoy the weather while it sticks around!
