Beating the summer heat! ☀️

👋🏻 Hello everyone, Celeste here! 👋🏻

It’s been a while since my last blog post!

The temperatures have really started to rise this month, and it definitely feels like summer is here. 😅

During the hot summer months, I know some of our students change the times of their dance lessons to avoid the heat. I do the same—I switch my practice schedule from mornings to evenings from July until around the middle of September. 👍🏻

As we prepare for the height of summer, one of the most important things is making sure we get enough nutrition to avoid summer fatigue.

To help prevent feeling tired, lacking motivation, losing your appetite, or generally feeling unwell during the hotter months, I make a point of eating plenty of seasonal summer vegetables. 🥗

🍅 Tomatoes, 🥒 cucumbers, and 🍆 eggplants are all delicious eaten fresh, but my favourite way to enjoy them is as pickles or marinated vegetables.

Pickling them is a great way to replenish salt lost through sweating while also benefiting from the acetic acid and citric acid found in vinegar—a win-win!

😊 Let’s all stay healthy, keep our energy up, and make the most of another wonderful summer together!
