School’s out—and summer is officially in session! As kids trade backpacks for beach towels, it’s the perfect time for families to reset, recharge, and refocus on health and wellness.
At the Center for Integrative and Functional Health and Wellness, we believe summer should be more than just a break—it should be a time to build habits that last a lifetime. Whether you’re staying local or traveling afar, here are a few simple tips to make this summer your healthiest one yet:
☀️ 1. Soak Up the Sunshine—Safely
Vitamin D is essential for mood, bone health, and immunity. Aim for 15–20 minutes of sun daily, but don’t forget your SPF! UV protection is a must for both adults and kids.
🍓 2. Keep Meals Colorful & Hydrating
Swap processed snacks for juicy fruits, raw veggies, and infused waters. Watermelon, cucumbers, and strawberries are summer MVPs for hydration and nutrition.
🏃♀️ 3. Stay Active as a Family
Bike rides, backyard games, or evening walks are fun ways to move together. Even gardening counts as a physical activity and helps kids stay connected to nature.
🧘 4. Prioritize Mental Health & Rest
With less structure, sleep schedules and screen time can spiral. Try to keep a loose routine. Encourage journaling, reading, or quiet moments to support emotional well-being.
🧴 5. Keep Those Check-Ups on the Calendar
Summer is a great time to schedule physicals, wellness exams, or any therapies your family may have put off. Stay proactive—your future self will thank you!
👨👩👧👦 Whether it’s backyard BBQs, travel adventures, or quiet mornings at home, we’re here to support your family’s health through every season. Let’s make this summer vibrant, balanced, and full of joyful memories!
