Summer Strong: Natural Health Wins for the 40+ Crowd

#LifeEnthusiast #health #wellness

It may sound cliché, but staying hydrated is truly the cornerstone of your summer health routine, especially as you get older. But not all hydration is created equal. Scott and Martin highlight the critical role that minerals play in effective hydration. While most people think “drink more water” is enough, the truth is, as you sweat (which you should in hot weather!), you’re losing more than just water—you’re losing essential minerals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium.

So, what’s the trick? Don’t shy away from adding high-quality, whole salts—like Himalayan or Celtic salt—to your water or food. Unlike refined table salts, these contain a spectrum of minerals your body needs. As Martin points out, your body’s ability to regulate heat and manage hydration can be impaired by not just age, but also many common medications prescribed for blood pressure, heart, or psychiatric conditions. These drugs can make it harder for you to sweat and naturally cool your body, increasing the risk of dehydration or even heat stroke. This makes mineral balance even more important.

Don’t Forget Potassium and Magnesium
While sodium grabs a lot of attention, potassium and magnesium are equally important. Potassium helps move nutrients into the cells and waste out, and is found in abundance in fruits and vegetables. Magnesium, on the other hand, is vital for relaxation, healthy blood pressure, and restful sleep—all of which are often in short supply during hot summer nights. Sadly, most adults are deficient in magnesium, making supplementation or a greater dietary focus a smart move.

Cooling Herbs & Smarter Summer Choices
Beyond salt and minerals, natural cooling herbs like peppermint, hibiscus, and lemon balm can do wonders to naturally lower your body temperature and provide refreshing summer beverages without added sugars or empty calories. The hosts recommend making herbal teas your go-to summer drink and avoiding dehydrating beverages like excessive alcohol or sugary sodas.
