Easy Health and Wellness Habits for a Relaxing Beach Trip

Sun, water, movement and a little less screen time. Small habits that help you feel your best on vacation.

Vacation is a chance to reset, and a few easy habits help you come home feeling better than when you left.

Respect the sun. Dermatologists recommend a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher, reapplied about every two hours and after swimming. Seek shade around midday, and wear a hat and sunglasses. Florida sun is stronger than many visitors expect, even on cloudy days.

Drink more water than you think you need, especially if you are spending the day outside or enjoying a drink by the pool. Fresh fruit from the farmers market makes it easy.

Move gently every day: a sunrise beach walk, a swim, a bike ride or a paddle. And try a small digital break, maybe phones away during meals or until after your morning coffee. It is amazing how much more you notice.
