Get a Big Dose of Vitamin L at SurfBerry: 3 Simple Ways to Increase Your Vitamin L

1). Eat clean.

Eating foods rich in vitamins and nutrients is the way to go when it comes to good health! This means lots and lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats (like seeds and nuts), and lean proteins – whole foods that aren’t found in boxes or bags. Aim for 9-13 servings of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables daily. Green smoothies are a great way to get a lot of those servings in. When you limit the processed foods and incorporate more whole foods into your diet, your body will thrive and you’ll have more energy to do all the activities you love.

2). Spend quality time with your loved ones.

They say laughter is the best medicine, and here at SurfBerry we couldn’t agree more. Spending quality time with yourself and your loved ones is one of the most important things you can do for your health, because it helps you de-stress and focus on what’s really important in life. Our favorite way to do that is by taking a technology detox 1 day each week. Shut down your phone, stay off the computer, and do something fun with your loved ones. When the weather is nice the best choice is to unwind at Wrightsville Beach of course! (Make sure you stop by to see us to grab a healthy snack!) You’ll return back to work and your daily obligations feeling refreshed and renewed.

3). Get outside and be active.
