8 Wellness Tips To Get You Through the Rest of Summer Stress-Free

Drink up. Even mild dehydration can cause headaches, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating, according to a University of Connecticut study.
Do laps. At the farmers’ market, that is. Summer is the easiest time of year to get your USDA-recommended 1.5 to 2 cups of fruit and 2.5 cups of veggies.
Get outside. Research suggests that “forest bathing” (basically, spending time in nature) can reduce stress. Plan a weekend hike, eat your lunch on a park bench—or take your cardio workout outdoors.
But hit the gym too. Pumping iron might help pump you up, according to a new review of dozens of studies. It found that weight training reduced symptoms of depression and made people with normal mental health less likely to become sad.
Breathe easy. Next time you’re lounging poolside, stuck at a traffic light, or about to go into a meeting, set aside a literal minute to chill out.
Talk to your doc. “I’ll be out of town next weekend!” is a thing you’ll probably say half a dozen times before summer ends. 
Take a siesta. Sleep deprivation can make you particularly susceptible to stress (which, hello, vicious cycle, can then keep you up at night). To squeeze in a little extra shut-eye, try dozing off during the day.
Just say no. Click on #howisummer and it might seem like everyone’s in an infinity pool or drinking ice-pop cocktails on a rooftop bar. The trick to enjoying your summer: Separating the activities that bring you joy from the ones you say yes to because they’re Instagrammable.
