🌞 Stay hydrated and enjoy the summer… while respecting your hormones

Summer is the season for drinks on the patio, sunny days, and a more relaxed pace of life. But between the heat, sweet and savory indulgences, and longer evenings, our inner balance can take a hit… especially hormonally. What if we learned to savor summer without disrupting this delicate ecosystem?

💧 Hydration, more than just a reflex

When it's hot, we think about drinking to avoid heatstroke. But staying hydrated also supports our hormonal system. Our hormones thrive on stability, and a well-hydrated body functions more harmoniously. Water helps regulate stress, digestion, and energy—in short, it's the foundation of well-being.

🌿 Gentle drinks for our hormones

Rather than sipping sodas or overly sweet (or overly alcoholic) cocktails, there are other ways to enjoy yourself:

• Infused waters (cucumber, mint, lemon, raspberry): pretty, refreshing and sugar-free.

• Cold infusions : chamomile and nettle, known to soothe or support the menstrual cycle. These plants are present in the Feminine infusion.

• Coconut water : naturally rich in minerals, perfect after a day in the sun.

🚫 What can be disruptive

Far from feeling guilty, the idea is to remain in tune with yourself. But to preserve your balance, it's best to avoid excess:

• Alcohol : it can disrupt sleep, the liver… and therefore our hormones.

• Sugary drinks : they cause insulin spikes, often followed by a major bout of fatigue.

• Excessive iced coffee : coffee stimulates cortisol, the stress hormone. Once in a while, yes – but not continuously.

🍉 Eat hydrating foods too!

Water doesn't only come from glass. Certain foods are true allies:

• Watermelon, melon, cucumber, lettuce, courgette: they refresh and nourish.

• Good fats (avocado, olive oil, seeds): they help to naturally produce certain hormones.

🌸 Listen to your rhythm

Finally, summer is a great opportunity to slow down. Taking naps, walking barefoot, taking our time… All of this helps to naturally regulate our stress and sleep hormones.

✨ In short: you can absolutely enjoy yourself this summer, if you keep a few simple tips in mind. Drink better, eat fresh food, avoid excesses, and above all… enjoy it gently.
