Do you want to enjoy your summer actively and without feeling tired? Would you like to experience the best time of the year with full energy and no heavy limbs? Are you looking forward to meeting friends and family? Then you are in the right place. We have compiled valuable tips from Ayurveda for you. They will help you feel more energized, better, and radiant despite the heat.
What you can do against the Heat
Ayurveda, along with other holistic practices, offers a treasure trove of tips to beat the heat. The key is to shield yourself from the external heat that can strain and weaken the body. Here’s how you can stay cool:
- Dress Smart: When you’re out and about during the day, opt for light-colored clothing made from natural fabrics like cotton or linen. These materials breathe better and keep you cooler than synthetic fabrics.
- Cool Your Home: Keep your living space cool by ventilating well in the evening and morning, and closing windows and doors during the day. Use curtains or blinds to block out sunlight and prevent your home from heating up.
- Hydrate with Cold Water: Cold water is a lifesaver in hot weather. For Vata types, who might experience circulatory issues in the heat, running cold water over your wrists can provide immediate relief. Alternating between cold and lukewarm showers in the morning can also kickstart your circulation.
Staying Fit and Energetic Despite the Heat: Ayurveda Tips
Ayurveda goes beyond external cooling measures. To stay fit and healthy in the heat, it’s essential to balance the excessive Pitta dosha through a healthy lifestyle, a cooling diet, regular exercise, and ample relaxation.
- Cooling Foods: Incorporate foods that cool your body from the inside out. (Check out our blog post on cooling foods for more details!)
- Stay Active: Physical activity remains crucial even in the summer. It not only strengthens the body but also stimulates metabolism and digestion, preventing the accumulation of toxins. Exercise also combats heat-induced fatigue and reduces stress, a major energy drain during hot weather.
Exercising in the Summer Heat
Exercise is indispensable, no matter the season. Everyone can enhance their well-being through appropriate physical activity. At Mandira Ayurveda Resort, we offer a variety of movement therapies designed to bring joy back into your exercise routine.
Depending on your preferences and needs, our resort’s Ayurveda therapy program includes intensive cardio, strength training, and gentle, mobilizing exercises like yoga, somatics, back fitness, and fascia training. The stunning landscapes of the Styrian hills also provide the perfect backdrop for outdoor activities such as hiking, jogging, cycling, tennis, or golfing during the cooler parts of the day.
Don’t forget to Relax
Balanced nutrition and proper exercise are essential, but so is giving your body time to recover. The summer heat can be taxing, making relaxation and regeneration crucial.
