As the warm weather hits, we’re naturally drawn to the outdoors and the sunshine. Whether we are lounging on a pool float or running through sprinklers with our kids and family, it’s a wonderful time to get active and social. To enjoy those nice warm temperatures all summer long, it’s important to plan for the external stressors that come with them. Using ASEA® REDOX Cell Signaling Supplement during the summer can help you keep your cool, while helping you maintain your wellness.
The human body is more complex than the most advanced computer system, but it follows one simple rule: communication is everything. Every single function that keeps us alive happens because our cells are communicating effectively with one another, sending trillions of messages back and forth every second. The better they can communicate, the healthier we are. With the changing seasons and rising temperatures, keeping our cells communicating during the summer months is more important than ever before.
Pollution
We may not think of summer as a time when we’ll be exposed to pollution, but this is actually a common problem for many cities. Pollution can cause inflammation, redox imbalance, and DNA damage in the body. This can lead to serious health problems. To prevent these issues from happening to us during the summer months—and all year round—we should take steps to reduce our exposure as much as possible and help our bodies maintain optimal performance in the meantime.
Healthy redox processes harness pathway signaling genes that influence biological responses key in the health of our bodies. ASEA® Redox has been shown to increase the production of antioxidants in the body and help support immune system response.*
Sun exposure and UV rays
The sun is a powerful energy source. It can cause various effects on the human body. When it comes to getting our daily dose of sun exposure, there are some definite pros and cons. For example, the vitamin D that we get from the sun can help boost our immune system and strengthen bones. However, too much sun exposure can also cause skin damage like wrinkles and age spots, as well as eye damage such as cataracts and macular degeneration.
UVA rays cause skin aging and wrinkling because UV rays pass easily through the ozone layer and make up the majority of our sun exposure. UVB rays are dangerous because they cause sunburns, cataracts, and affect our immune system. They can also contribute to skin cancer and melanoma tends to be associated with severe UVB sunburns before age 20. The best way to protect ourselves from sun exposure is to stay in the shade, apply sunscreen every hour or so, and try to stay inside when the sun is at its strongest.
Hot weather
Hot weather can be a little bit of a problem for our body. For example, the body loses water in the heat and needs to replace it. The body also loses electrolytes and minerals and vitamins, which are also important for health.
The thermoregulatory system of the body depends on several factors to maintain normal temperature, including sweating and evaporation, vasodilation and vasoconstriction, and metabolic cooling via sweating. When it’s hot outside, these processes are less effective and may not be able to keep up with our body’s needs. When this happens:
- Our body relies more heavily on its water reserves
- We lose more water through sweat than we can replace by drinking water alone
- Our electrolytes get depleted faster than they can be replenished by eating saltines or salty foods
- Minerals like sodium, potassium, and chloride also become deficient in our diet due to excessive sweating
Redox helps tap into reserves that exist within all of us to power new levels of well-being. When we foster wellness and vitality at the cellular level it signals our body at the cellular level to activate genetic pathways.
A supplement during the summer
Environmental factors can affect the human body. Stress and inflammation are triggered by environmental factors such as heat, ozone, and UV radiation. These stressors can throw redox processes out of balance through oxidative stress which leads to oxidation of DNA and reduced levels of antioxidants in our cells.
ASEA® Redox Cell Signaling Supplement during the summer provides powerful antioxidant effect that boosts immunity and cardiovascular health while helping maintain arterial elasticity through complete cellular support. It also improves gut health and digestive enzyme production while modulating hormone balance to support vitality and wellness throughout the year—especially during hot weather conditions where toxins are released into our bodies faster than usual, resulting in increased fatigue or feeling tired. ASEA® Redox is a powerful supplement because it helps restore our cells’ natural antioxidant defenses, while also helping maintain cardiovascular health, immune system function, gut health and digestive enzyme production.*
It’s time to get out there, enjoy life, and make some new memories! So, if you’re at the beach or in the backyard grilling up some burgers, remember to have your ASEA Redox supplement handy for a balanced summer adventure.
