August is the last month of summer, but at the same time, it is no less powerful a period of rejuvenation than January.
Right now, our bodies are intuitively preparing for the challenges of fall: less sunlight, returning to work, school, and routine.
This is the perfect time to update your eating habits, sleep patterns, physical activity, and add support in the form of nutraceuticals.
Why August is the best time
-
Psychologically, it’s easier to start from scratch: there’s no pressure from “New Year’s resolutions.” Increased motivation due to the change of seasons
-
Increased motivation due to the change of seasons.
-
Access to fresh seasonal produce that can enhance the effect of nutraceuticals.
-
Time for family and planning for the school year: vitamin support for children can be included.
What habits are worth updating
Habits are like muscles: they can be trained, weakened, or completely replaced. August is the month when our inner rhythm strives for harmony.
Nature calms down, the sun is still gentle, and there is an abundance of fresh vegetables and fruits around.
Now is the time to analyze what in your daily schedule needs updating and take small but meaningful steps toward better well-being.
Here are some basic habits that are easy to adapt today:
| Habit | What to change | Additional support |
|---|---|---|
| Nutrition | Reduce consumption of processed foods, add more seasonal vegetables and plant fibers | Enzymes for better digestion, probiotics for microbiota |
| Sleep schedule | Go to bed before 11 p.m., limit gadget use before bedtime, don’t wake up in a panic to your alarm clock | Magnesium (citrate/glycinate), L-theanine, lemon balm |
| Exercise | Return to daily walks, warm-ups, or short workouts at home | Electrolytes (especially potassium and magnesium), coenzyme Q10 for energy |
Add to this a few basic nutrients, and you will feel the first results in just 7–10 days: improved mood, sound sleep, and lightness after meals.
The role of nutraceuticals: a smooth transition to fall
During the Vitafoods 2025 exhibition, special attention was paid to daily wellness formulas that:
-
support energy metabolism (B vitamins, adaptogens),
-
help immunity (vitamins C, D, zinc),
-
reduce stress levels (ashwagandha, magnesium, glycine).

August is not the end of summer, but the beginning of new healthy habits.
