Slowly we are all looking forward to the vacation season that is about to begin, to balmy summer evenings, a good book, lots of relaxation and finally being able to unwind! Sleep in, live for the moment, switch off the carousel of thoughts and just let go…
Even if you had to plan your summer vacation completely new this year and the hoped-for trip to far away countries was perhaps postponed, relaxation for the soul is immensely important. The distance doesn’t really matter, because a place of relaxation can be your blooming balcony or the lake around the corner. Now you will certainly find time again for leisure activities such as swimming, cycling, jogging, yoga, horseback riding, taking a sauna, and much more.
Finding relaxation despite the desire to have children
For women who want to have children, the carousel of thoughts unfortunately often continues to spin: Don’t I always have to keep an eye on my cycle, take my temperature early in the morning and make sure I get enough sleep? Can I simply change my life rhythm without affecting my temperature curve? OvulaRing can take away these worries!
Wearing OvulaRing you can sleep in undisturbed, do sports, have sex and simply enjoy your life and the summer – without the hassle of taking your temperature in the morning! OvulaRing simply adapts to your (changed) summer life rhythm. Due to the automatic and continuous measurement inside the body, the measurement accuracy of OvulaRing is not influenced by external disturbing factors. So you can sit back and relax.
However, many people find it difficult to let go, so we have put together some relaxation tips for the summer!
Get into the water!
Water has a calming and harmonizing effect and can greatly contribute to relaxation through the soft gurgling sounds and gentle movements. The feeling of weightlessness and the silence under water while literally “diving down” let you quickly forget your everyday worries.
When swimming in the sea, pool or swimming pool next door, you can wear OvulaRing without any worries. OvulaRing does not slip and is not noticeable. Contact with (salt) water does not harm OvulaRing in any way and does not affect the measurement accuracy and determination of your fertile days.
Sufficient exercise
Getting enough exercise is important for your health and well-being and can help to “clear your head”. Sports activities such as jogging, cycling, climbing, hiking, surfing or horseback riding are therefore simply part of summer for many.
Excessive sports and workouts, however, have an impact on your body temperature and can lead to a temperature increase of up to 2°C. Due to the high-resolution, continuous measurement of OvulaRing, the measurement accuracy and determination of the fertile days is not affected even during sports sessions. In your OvulaRing cycle curve, you can recognize the temperature peaks after sporting activity by a very steep, sharp temperature rise and rapid, steep temperature drop. This allows you to monitor exactly how much your body has heated up and cooled down. If you want to get pregnant, it’s better to do moderate exercise and not overdo the workouts even during the vacation season, because too much intense exercise can decrease your fertility – delayed ovulation to missing ovulations and a shortened second half of the cycle can be the result. With OvulaRing, you can determine if your workout is still healthy or if your fertility may be (temporarily) reduced.
Sleep is important
According to studies, more and more people suffer from sleep disorders and wake up tired; those affected are mainly women. However, sufficient sleep is essential for the psychological and physiological regeneration of humans. People who sleep well and sufficiently on a regular basis are more physically and mentally productive overall, get sick less often and simply feel better. This increases the zest for life and makes people feel optimistic. A permanent lack of sleep is demonstrably detrimental to mental and physical health. The consequences are persistent fatigue, exhaustion, irritability, and even depression and burnout.
Women who always want to take their basal body temperature at the same time in the morning often sleep less well overall because they are worried about missing the right time to take their temperature. Here, even half an hour often plays a role in postponing the time of measurement. On the other hand, external disturbing factors such as insufficient night sleep negatively influence the evaluation of the basal body temperature cycle curve – a vicious circle! OvulaRing can take away this worry! You can sleep soundly and live into the day! OvulaRing measures automatically around the clock and takes the temperature measurement off your hands. You can also read the data whenever you want.
Sauna invigorates the senses
The fact that we feel reborn after a sauna session is due to various processes. On the one hand, the circulation is stimulated and strengthened by an alternating bath between temperature extremes. Secondly, blood pressure is lowered and muscles are relaxed. Finally, a purification process takes place, during which any sebaceous and dust particles are literally flushed out. Taken as a whole, these processes produce a deep feeling of relaxation as well as a slight fatigue, as the body experiences (healthy) stress at high temperatures.
During a stay in the sauna, the body temperature rises rapidly to about 39 °C. The body can only keep its temperature from rising further for a short time in the 60°C – 100°C hot air by sweating intensively. For this reason, the recommended duration of a sauna session should not be exceeded. By the way, healthy sauna does not harm your fertility and does not influence the exact measurement result of OvulaRing. Just continue to wear OvulaRing as usual and let your soul dangle!
Get in touch
Touching works wonders! The so-called cuddling and bonding hormone oxytocin is released, which plays a central role in our well-being. So use this time of relaxation for more togetherness, cuddling, relaxing massages and sex “without a plan” – ideally completely detached from the topic of having children! Regular sexual intercourse is not only important for the desire to have children, but also for the couple relationship, the so-called “sexual health” and the physical well-being.Go to the green
You can relax best in nature? It’s no wonder! The color green not only has a regenerating and refreshing effect, but also promotes your inner peace and balance. Green simply helps us to relax and become more balanced. Therefore, consciously let your gaze wander into the greenery and avoid distractions.
Be offline
You have no reception in your vacation resort and there is no wifi? Perfect, then turn off your cell phone and be offline for a while. Only now will you realize how often you automatically reach for your cell phone. Don’t worry, you won’t miss a thing! On the contrary, you get valuable time back – use it for relaxation.Use relaxation techniques
Relaxation techniques can help you give your body and mind a break. Try different techniques such as progressive muscle relaxation, mindfulness exercises, autogenic training, yoga or meditation. All of these are wonderful to practice anywhere in the world or simply from the comfort of your own home.
No matter how you want to spend your summer, OvulaRing is your reliable companion on your adventures, helps you relax and shows you what makes your cycle tick in all situations.
