The Power of FlowersYou’ve probably heard the old saying “Stop and
smell the roses.” Researchers confirm that takenliterally, it’s good advice. The scent of fresh flowers orfloral scents in general can boost your mood, lowerstress and even encourage friendliness. If you don’tfavor these fragrances, simply taking in the color offlowers can kindle positive emotions. Pastel-coloredvarieties tend to make people feel more relaxed, whilebold colors are energizing.
Quick Getaway“Laughter is an instant vacation.” —Milton Berle
Remember to HydrateStaying hydrated through your summer workout is
essential to fitness success. Losing too much water fromyour body through sweat stresses your cardiovascularsystem and impairs performance and mental acuity. Inthe two hours before a workout, drink at least 16ounces of water. During your workout, refresh with 5 to10 ounces of water every 15 to 20 minutes. Continue totake in fluids after you’re done exercising.
