8 NUTRITION TIPS FOR A HEALTHY SUMMER
Summer weekends at the backyard barbecues, and outdoor dinners are finally here, but these gatherings are often loaded with high-calorie pasta salads, chips, ice cream, cocktails and beers. Enjoy your warm weather favorites while keeping your nutrition in check with the tips below. 1. Drink green tea instead of sweet tea. Green tea has a natural component that helps speed up your metabolism. Skip the box tea and opt for the brew-it-yourself with boiling water and a tea-bag-type tea. 2. Serve seafood. Summer is the ideal time to get the freshest catch from your local grocer. Grill salmon, tuna, lobster, steamer clams, and calamari for a low- calorie, protein-packed lunch or dinner. 3. Don’t skip breakfast. Whenyouwakeup in themorning,yourbody is runningon fumes.Eatingabreakfastwithprotein,carbs,andhealthy fatkicksyourmetabolism into high gear and provides energy for the day. 4. Enjoy summer fruits and veggies. It’s easy to sink into a vegetable rut, eating the same boring veggies week after week, but with summer comes fresh choices. Including a mix of in-season colorful veggies in your meals gives your body a nutrient kick. 5. Snack at work. Bring snacks to work and graze throughout the day. When you eat more often—five to six times per day—you’re far less likely to overeat and more likely to stay energized. 6. Hydrate often. The summer heat makes you more susceptible to dehydration. Startoffyourday by drinking twoglassesofwaterandkeepdrinkingateachmeal,
as well as before and after your workout, to stay hydrated. Carry a water bottle with you as a reminder to stay hydrated. 7.Recoverwithapost-workoutshake. Afterexercising,blendyour favoritesummer fruits and a scoop of whey protein into a shake to kickstart the muscle-building process, help your body recover from training, and boost your energy levels. Try one of these shake recipes. 8.Pre-planyourmeals. Youplanyourweekendgetawaysandactivities forsummer. Why not your meals?
