It's Summer Time!
Summer has officially kicked off for most kids, and we're thrilled! Here are some fun and healthy tips to help your children thrive all season long:
1. Get Dirty!
Let your kids play in the dirt! It’s not just fun—it supports their microbiome, boosting their immune system and helping them adapt to their environment. Digging in the soil is a natural way to learn and grow!
2. Soak Up the Sunshine!
Encourage 15 minutes of unprotected sun exposure daily to help their bodies produce vitamin D naturally. This supports growth and strengthens immunity. The infrared light from sunlight also promotes healing and vitality. For longer outdoor time, play in the shade, wear UV-protective hats or clothing, or apply non-toxic sunscreen.
3. Go Barefoot!
Walking barefoot builds balance, enhances body awareness, and grounds their nervous system. “Earthing” reduces inflammation and acts as a powerful antioxidant—the world’s best! Just ensure they’re in safe, soft areas like grass or sand.
4. Ride Bikes or Scooters!
Biking or scooting is a blast and boosts balance and confidence. These activities keep kids active and smiling! Always make sure they wear a helmet for safety.
5. Feast on Fresh Fruits!
Take advantage of summer’s bounty by enjoying fresh, local, & organic fruits and berries. Packed with nutrients and antioxidants, they help protect against sunburn and fuel growth and healing. Make it fun with colorful fruit salads!
6. Keep Up Chiropractic Care!
Continue regular chiropractic adjustments to keep their spine and nervous system in top shape. A balanced body lets them enjoy summer adventures to the fullest—whether they’re climbing trees or splashing in the pool!
Let’s make this summer the healthiest and happiest yet!
