Summer 2025 is almost here, and it’s a great time to think again about switching up your health and wellness routine. Here are five new suggestions to help you feel your best this summer. I've tried to gather resources that are backed by science, and suggest tips that are simple to try. Enjoy!

• Have Fun (or Just Relax) in the Sun
  Spending time outdoors can boost your mental health, improve concentration, reduce stress, and increase Vitamin D levels. 
  
  
• Adopt a Daily Strecthing Routine
  
  A few minutes of stretching each day can enhance flexibility, improve balance, and lower your risk of injury.
  
  
• Do a Digital Detox
  Unplugging from screens can sharpen your focus, ease anxiety, and improve sleep.
  
  
• Meditate Daily
  Meditation is a proven way to manage stress, spark creativity, and lift your mood. It might also lower blood pressure and help you sleep better.
  
  
• Start a Garden (or check out a Farmer's Market)
  Gardening can stimulate your brain, potentially cutting dementia risk by up to 50%, while boosting serotonin and improving your mood. No space? Hit up a local farmer’s market for fresh produce.
