Get some of that beautiful sunlight during what remains of summer! Anytime before 10 am, try to get outside, even if it is just on your porch, balcony, etc., and turn your face towards that sun! Do this for 15 minutes each day. Sunlight not only helps charge our “batteries” (our mitochondria, also known as the little factories in each cell that produce our energy), but it helps us make serotonin, our “happy” chemical. Sunlight is also an important factor in our body’s production of vitamin D, which is necessary for bones, blood cells, and the immune system.

Staying Active During COVID-19
Activity is important for both your physical and mental well-being. During the fall, make the most of nice weather and consider activities like walking and biking. When you do go inside, non-contact activities such as running, bodyweight workout routines and online fitness classes make it simple to maintain proper social distancing. If you prefer exercising with others, look for smaller fitness studios and classes that allow for the 2-metre spacing between participants. And if you use any equipment in a gym, be sure to thoroughly clean and disinfect it before and after use, even if you are the only one using it.
Care for Fall Hair
Sun, wind, sand, great for you – although tough on your hair. Here are some tips to help: 1. Nourish your scalp, use a scrub along with a clay mask to help exfoliate, clay acts like a magnet drawing out impurities. 2. Repair your strands. Apply a repairing serum/mask to mend sun and wind damage. 3. Start taking Vitamin D, your stores will run out quickly once fall arrives. 4. Go see your hairdresser. Get those wind-blown ends trimmed. 5. Scalp massages. Wash often, using the pads of your fingers, using circular motions to get the circulation moving. We hope you had a great summer, wishing you the best in the fall.
Diabetic Neuropathy
Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage caused by diabetes. Over time, high blood glucose levels can damage the small blood vessels that nourish your nerves with oxygen and nutrients. Without enough oxygen and nutrients, your damaged nerves can cause a loss of sensation in your feet, while others may experience a burning or shooting pain in their lower legs. VoxxLife HPT has been proven to improve circulation. In a clinical study involving 1,000 participants, more than 90% reported significant reduction in pain from diabetic neuropathy by using VoxxLife HPT technology.
Daily Routine Struggles?
Dopamine, our motivation chemical, is highest in the morning. That’s why it can be helpful to tackle the “hardest” things first and set up a dopamine wave early in the morning. Have a morning routine consisting of discipline-building behaviours – a cold shower is perfect, as it is uncomfortable. Once you overcome an obstacle this big, the other “hard” tasks seem easy in comparison. Other examples are a morning workout or meditation session. This can help you face everything your day throws at you, big or small. Life is won with a series of decisions that build on each other!
