Get your healthy summer routine ready!

 

The arrival of good weather and longer days provides the perfect opportunity to rethink our routines. Summer is an ideal time to adopt healthy habits that improve our physical condition, clear our minds and recharge our batteries.

 

At Axxon, we firmly believe that the health and well-being of our team are essential to the success of any professional project. With this in mind, we have compiled a list of simple guidelines that you can easily incorporate into your daily life to enhance your quality of life, both in the office and during your holidays.

 

 

The first step: What is your starting point?

 

It's worth taking the time to reflect on your habits from time to time. What are you already doing to support your wellbeing? What could you improve? To find out where you are starting from, visit our website and take our healthy habits survey. Once you have answered the questions, you will receive a personalised report to help you identify areas for improvement.

 

 

Start mindful mornings without screens

 

The way we face the first hours of the day determines our mood. Try to resist the temptation to check your mobile phone first thing and give yourself a few minutes of calm, free from notifications.

 

Add a good breakfast to give you energy, such as a combination of seasonal fruit, whole grains and dairy or plant-based milk. In the mid-morning, you could have a handful of nuts or some natural yoghurt.

 

 

Light menus adapted to the heat

 

When the temperature rises, our bodies crave lighter food.

• Lunch: Opt for fresh dishes combining vegetables with a source of carbohydrates, such as quinoa, rice or legumes, and a source of quality protein, such as fish, chicken or plant-based options.

• Dinner: Soft and light dishes are your best allies for a restful night's sleep.

 

Summer is the perfect time to enjoy salads, cold soups and fresh fruit!

 

Remember to stay hydrated: With high temperatures, it is essential to drink between 1.5 and 3 litres of water daily, especially if you play sports or spend time outdoors.

 

 

Stay active while being aware of the temperatures

 

Sports are an inexhaustible source of physical and mental wellbeing. During the summer months, we simply must adapt by avoiding the hottest times of day and looking for the cooler times at the beginning or end of the day. Setting aside a few moments each week to exercise in your preferred way will transform your vitality.

 

 

The importance of restful sleep

 

Good work and personal performance depend directly on rest. To sleep well despite the heat, keep your bedroom cool and reduce your screen time before going to bed. Although summer schedules tend to be more flexible, try not to disrupt your usual sleep hours too much.

 

 

Holidays: Enjoying leisure with flexibility

 

Summer is the perfect time to break free from your usual routine, disconnect from your obligations and live life at a slower pace. Allow yourself to enjoy social meals and free time without any regrets.

However, try to maintain a certain regularity in terms of rest, diet and physical activity so that returning to the routine in September is more gradual and less challenging.

 

At Axxon, we encourage you to take steps towards a more mindful lifestyle. Making small improvements to your daily routine can have a significant impact on your work and personal well-being. Have a great summer!
