SOAK UP THE SUMMER
When hosting outdoor events during the summer be mindful of your guests’ health. Below are some tips to keep everyone in top form no matter how hot it gets.
HYDRATION
Hydration is key when it comes to spending time outdoors but, if plain water seems too monotonous, try infusing it with natural flavors by adding slices of fruits. Choose from a variety of seasonal options like lemon, lime, cucumber, or berries. These additions can make drinking water more enjoyable and staying hydrated much easier. Not only are these fruits great enhancements to your drink of water, but they are also great for snacking on. Include hydrating foods such as watermelon, cucumbers, oranges, strawberries, lettuce and celery at your next outdoor activity. These foods have high water content and can contribute to your overall hydration, functioning as both a snack and refreshment!
REFUELING WITH FRESH INGREDIENTS
Staying fueled is central to maintaining energy levels and supporting your body’s needs. It’s even more important that you choose to fuel your body with foods that are as fresh as possible. One way to achieve this is by creating delicious and easy bites with ingredients from your local farmers market. At Paramount Events, we source and work with farmers at Green City Market weekly, allowing us to use the freshest ingredients around. It’s also beneficial to choose balanced snacks that provide all the necessary nutrients. These can include nuts, seeds, whole grains, hummus, nut butters, fruits, and vegetables. soak up the summer
SUNSCREEN STATION
Hosting a pool party or daytime BBQ? Add a sunscreen station for your guests as a quick reminder to protect themselves from UV rays! When building your sun protection station, opt for environmentally-friendly products such as reef-safe sunscreen or reusable sun protection accessories like wide-brimmed hats or long-sleeved shirts.
