Hey Pals, it’s The Healthtender, Amie Ward, with your July Balanced Bartender Pep Talk!

Summer is in full swing, and as we begin returning to outdoor bartending, events, and other activities, I thought it would be a good opportunity to remind everyone of the importance of wearing sunscreen! And what perfect timing since July is UV Awareness Month!

Ultraviolet rays are invisible radiation emitted by the sun and certain artificial light sources.

UV radiation provides relief for skin conditions, destroys harmful microorganisms, and produces Vitamin D—a vital nutrient for strong bones, immune response, heart health, and mood regulation. But too much exposure to UV rays can impact white blood cell functioning, damage our eyes, cause gnarly sunburns, and increase our risk for skin cancer (the most common cancer in the United States). There are three types of UV rays: UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVC and most UVB radiation is absorbed by the Earth’s ozone layer, but UVA rays are not. UVB rays are the main cause of sunburn, but both UVA and UVB rays can cause skin cancer.

Protecting our skin from overexposure is something we should practice year-round.

Even with overcast weather, 80% of the sun’s UV rays sneak through those pesky clouds. So how do we protect the largest organ in our bodies? Easy! UV radiation is strongest between the hours of 10 am and 2 pm. Avoid direct sun exposure during that time, or double down on your preventative measures. Wearing an FDA-approved broad-spectrum sunscreen with a skin-protecting factor (SPF) of 15 or higher will ensure you are protected against both UVA and UVB rays. Sunscreens come in a multitude of application formats (sticks, sprays, lotions, gels, etc.), and even lightweight moisturizers so you can work them into your daily routine. Sunglasses are also your friend! For maximum eye safety, wear lenses that state 100% UV Protection or UV400 Rating on the label. And lastly, staying in the shade, covering sun-exposed skin with clothing, wearing wide-brimmed hats, and reapplying your sunscreen every 2 hours are great practices to get into the habit of.

Thanks for tuning in friends! Jägermeister and The Healthtender are back with another movement challenge this month, and because strong cores are vital for the bartending body, I thought we could rock out with Bird Dogs. Complete 60 seconds of a Bird Dog variation that works for your body, take a time-lapse video or post-push sweaty selfie, tag @thehealthtender, and use the hashtag #jmbehindtheshot. Head on over to my Instagram, @thehealthtender, for demos and more details.    

Have a very balanced day!

Recipe

  • 1.5 parts Jägermeister Cold Brew
  • .75 part Banana Liqueur
  • 1.0 part Cold Brew
  • Top with your favorite tonic

Method: Build your masterpiece over ice and give it a quick stir after your tonic is added.

Inspiration: Every morning, when I wake up, I make myself a cup of coffee and eat a banana. It is delicious and one of life’s simple pleasures for me. And lucky for us, those flavors are just as splendid when in cocktail form! So when it comes to picking your favorite tonic water, keep it simple. A delicate balance of quinine and sweetness will allow the Jägermeister Cold Brew and banana to be the best friends they were intended. No garnish is needed for this beverage, but if you would like to add a squeeze of lemon, you may be pleasantly surprised by the magical zip it provides!
