As summer begins to wind down and the back-to-school season looms, many parents and college students find themselves grappling with the aftermath of indulgent summer routines.
Whether it’s late nights, inconsistent diets, or extended sun exposure, the transition back to a structured routine can be daunting.
Embrace a Functional Medicine Approach to Recovery
At Kare Health & Wellness, we understand the stress this period brings and are here to guide you through a rejuvenation journey with functional medicine that promises to restore your vitality and prepare you for the new season ahead.
Hydration is Key
The first step to recovery is hydration. After months of sun exposure, our bodies often suffer from dehydration. Drinking plenty of water and incorporating hydrating foods such as cucumbers, watermelon, and oranges can help replenish lost fluids.
Skin Care and Repair
Prolonged sun exposure can take a toll on your skin. To combat this, consider treatments like Vitamin C facials and IV therapy, which provide essential nutrients directly to your skin, helping to repair and rejuvenate.
Balanced Nutrition
Summer often disrupts our eating habits. As you transition back to school routines, focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. This will help stabilize your energy levels and support overall health.
Stress Management Techniques
The stress of preparing for a new school year can be overwhelming. Practices like yoga, meditation, and even Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can help manage stress and promote mental clarity.
Consistent Sleep Schedule
Re-establishing a regular sleep pattern is crucial. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night and consider Red Light Therapy to improve sleep quality and aid recovery from sun damage.
