Most of our Tiger Nuts customers are into health and well being, so with that in mind, we always try to bring you information that is relevant and hopefully inspirational too.

This time it's for the hikers in the group. So we have created our Top 10 Tips for a Safe and Spectacular Hiking Experience, and hope it helps you!

1. Plan your route: Before you hit the trails, plan your route carefully. Make sure to check the weather forecast and trail conditions, and choose a route that suits your fitness level.

2. Wear appropriate clothing: Dress in layers and wear comfortable, sturdy hiking shoes or boots with good grip. Bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun.

3. Stay hydrated: Bring plenty of water and drink regularly to stay hydrated. A good rule of thumb is to drink at least one liter of water for every two hours of hiking.

4. Bring snacks: Pack snacks that are high in energy, such as trail mix, nuts, and energy bars, to keep you fueled during your hike. Of course we could be biased, but we would suggest that you take a couple of bags of Tiger Nuts to help keep your energy levels up.

5. Use trekking poles: Trekking poles can help you maintain your balance and reduce the impact on your joints. They're especially useful when hiking on steep or uneven terrain. Or of course you can pick up a slender tree branch and use it as a pole.

6. Follow trail markers: Stay on the trail and follow the markers to avoid getting lost. If you're hiking in a group, make sure to stay together.

7. Leave no trace: Practice Leave No Trace principles by packing out all trash and avoiding damaging vegetation. Stay on designated trails and avoid disturbing wildlife.

8. Check in regularly: If you're hiking alone, let someone know where you're going and when you expect to return. Check in with park rangers or other officials to get updates on trail conditions. Of course make sure to take your cell phone.

9. Be prepared for emergencies: Bring a first aid kit, a map and compass, a whistle, and a flashlight with extra batteries in case of emergencies.

10. Enjoy the scenery: Take time to enjoy the scenery and appreciate the natural beauty around you. Remember to take pictures and make memories!

We do hope that these Top 10 Hiking Tips help make your hike so much more enjoyable, your friends at Tiger Nuts USA

6. Take Breaks: Taking regular breaks throughout the day can help prevent burnout and improve productivity. Make sure to get up and move around every hour or so. 

7. Limit Screen Time: Too much screen time can have negative effects on both physical and mental health. Try to limit the amount of time you spend in front of screens each day. Make sure to get up from your computer every 45 minutes and walk around the office or house. Maybe do a couple of sit up's or push up's.

8. Practice Gratitude: Focusing on the things you're grateful for can help improve mood and reduce stress. Consider starting a gratitude journal or taking time each day to reflect on what you're thankful for.

9. Get Outside: Spending time in nature has been shown to have numerous benefits for both physical and mental health. Try to get outside for at least a few minutes each day. Fresh air, sunshine are great for your wellbeing.
