The Summer Solstice marks the height of Yang energy — warmth, expansion, and peak vitality! In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Summer is connected to the Heart and Small Intestine, organs that support our circulation, emotional balance, and joy.
How to Stay Balanced This Summer:
💧 Stay hydrated — Sip on room-temperature water , electrolytes, and cooling herbal teas like peppermint and chrysanthemum.
🥗 Eat light and fresh — Incorporate hydrating, cooling foods like cucumber, watermelon, tomatoes, and leafy greens.
💖 Nourish the Heart — Connect with loved ones, laugh freely, and express joy. Emotional balance supports heart health.
🌞 Be active but mindful — Exercise in the early morning or evening when it's cooler to avoid overheating.
🧘♂️ Rest and recharge — Balance Summer’s active energy with moments of rest.
