May is finally here! A month full of holidays and sunny hours. Everything is blooming, growing and thriving. Spring fever is in full swing. We'll tell you how you can enjoy the merry month even better.
We dismiss the fickle weather into the past. The grumpiness of April is saying goodbye. Now we are ready for the first messengers of early summer. So calves unpacked and laid on the nearest city meadow.
With sunglasses on your nose and bare feet in the grass, it's quite bearable. Surrounded by flowers and blossoming trees, every ice cream tastes three times as good. The numerous holidays do the rest! Oh, if only it could always be May.
With these tips May will be even better

How to start the month of May right
May has a few highlights to offer. Our personal favorite: strawberries! Did you know that strawberries are not only insanely delicious? The small fruits also have a pain-relieving effect. 10 berries can even replace an aspirin!
Besides, strawberries are incredibly healthy. They tighten our tissue with the extra portion of vitamin C. Also, the little tidbits are rich in folic acid and potassium. So also still good for our blood!
We recommend drinking a delicious strawberry juice in the morning. It strengthens the immune and cardiovascular system. It also stimulates fat burning. This is just the right thing to do before the summer.
And this is what you need: 1/2 head of savoy cabbage, 2 large tomatoes and 4 handfuls of strawberries. Put everything together in the juicer. If you like, you can add a little water. Tastes slightly sweet. Makes healthy and beautiful. :)

The best exercises are outside in May:
We love to train in nature anyway. But in May, even the last outdoor muffle should be convinced. The warm temperatures are ideal for a relaxed workout in the park.
Now we can not only wear our chic, short sportswear but also catch a bit of color at the same time. You can almost not better prepare for the swimming season, right?! :)
Our tip: Make it simple. You don't need a lot of bells and whistles for an ideal workout. Just find a park bench and let's go. Find out what you can do with it here: The best outdoor workout with park bench.

Our good mood tip for May
There's no better time of year to fall in love. No matter if it's new or again. Spring fever is great. Take the time for you and your partner. Float together on cloud nine.
If the stress at work is too much for you. Do you have long days at university? Foods with a high magnesium content help to reduce stress. So go for brown rice, leafy vegetables or even pistachios.
If you need a little more serenity in your everyday life, you should meditate for a while in the morning. It's much easier to relax with the sun on your face. And even a small timeout of 5 or 10 minutes can work wonders!
Our conclusion:
Enjoy May to the fullest! Treat yourself to some time off and spend wonderful early summer days with your loved ones. Nature is especially beautiful now. Do sports outside, get lots of exercise in the fresh air. Catch the first rays of sunshine. Then every ice cream tastes so much better.
