We’ve all experienced sore, achy muscles at some point in time, but did you know that this can create additional challenges for us during the summer? This is especially true if you’ve been more of a couch potato throughout the winter and spring. If you decide that you want to become more active, this can create challenges for us when it comes to muscle recovery in the heat of the summer.† 

The relationship between summer heat and muscle aches

During the summer, we are more prone to dehydration, which can create a higher amount of electrolyte loss and in turn more muscle aches and cramps. This is especially true when the heat and humidity are high.†

THE IMPORTANCE OF HYDRATION IN THE HEAT OF SUMMER – INVITE HEALTH PODCAST, EPISODE 111. Listen Now>>

Many areas of the country are currently experiencing heat waves with really high record temperatures. A lot of people aren’t used to this, so maybe they’re doing something that they usually do year-round and once they go out and they start doing this in the heat, they start to have this increase in lactic acid buildup. At the same time, they are experiencing electrolyte imbalances due to the loss of fluids. They may feel fine in the moment, but by the time evening comes around, they may be wondering why they are experiencing muscle aches throughout their body.†   

We have to be prepared for this and we need to know the appropriate things to be doing to help fend off muscle aches.†

How to support muscle health

In order to support our muscle health and help prevent muscle aches, we have to stay hydrated. This is incredibly important. Most people don’t change their routine from one season to the next, but we have to realize that we have to consume a higher amount of water during the summer.†

We have to be able to replace our electrolytes. We can do this by taking a multivitamin. That’s a good place to start because then we’re getting exposure to electrolytes. Taking something like our Reds HxⓇ or Greens HxⓇ is also a really good place to start. Magnesium also plays a really important role in maintaining the ability of the skeletal muscles to remain intact. If you have a tendency to develop muscle aches or cramps, taking magnesium citrate would be very beneficial during the summer.† 

Most importantly, I want to talk about our Beets HxⓇ formulation. Beets HxⓇ is a combination of beetroot extract along with tart cherry extract. Both of these nutrients have been studied in the setting of muscle recovery and exercise endurance.†

Calcium is well-known as being beneficial to bone, but it also affects many other parts of the body. Inadequate levels of this mineral can lead to fatigue and muscle spasms. It can also impact your mood, nails and skin.

Signs of a deficiency

When you don’t consume enough calcium, whether it’s from food or supplements, it’s going to cause muscle spasms. This nutrient works at the cellular level within the muscle to allow it to contract properly during physical activity. One of the reasons you may develop muscle fatigue or spasms after exercise is that you have pumped the calcium out of your muscles. This can also be accompanied by issues within your joints. Take some calcium and Vitamin D after extreme exercise to help replenish the nutrients in your muscles.†

Low levels of this mineral can also impact heart health, energy levels and sleep. You may also experience lightheadedness, dizziness and brain fog.†

Getting sufficient amounts of calcium

If you get enough calcium, this can benefit your blood pressure. Studies have shown that getting sufficient levels of this mineral from the diet can help lower elevated blood pressure. Adequate amounts of calcium are also important for bone health. You also need enough sleep for bone health, as well as other nutrients such as strontium, Vitamin D, Vitamin K, phosphorus and magnesium.† 

This mineral is also important for your teeth. When other parts of your body lack calcium, they pull it from your teeth, which can lead to brittle teeth, tooth decay and gum issues. You can also develop dry skin, eczema, dry nails, coarse hair and hair loss.†
