Healthy Summer BBQ Tips
Nothing says summer like a cookout and the smell of a flaming hot grill. But if you’re trying to maintain a healthy diet, a weekend BBQ can be more of a test of your will power than a chance to relax and enjoy time with friends. That’s because most traditional BBQ foods are loaded with calories, fat, sodium and sugar. So, should you stay away? Of course not! Here are some strategies to help you enjoy without completely throwing your nutrition off track.
  • Don’t deprive yourself completely. If there’s a food that you really love, by all means have it. But, focus on portion control. Choose one favorite to savor and enjoy in moderation.
  • Bring something healthy. Volunteer to bring a dish and prepare something healthy. That way you’ll know if all else fails, you have at least one healthy option to fall back on.
  • Choose a lean protein. Grilled chicken or turkey are great high protein options and you can enjoy more without all the saturated fat of a burger or a steak.
  • Load up on vegetables. It’s always a good idea to fill half your plate with vegetables.

Tips for Your Healthiest Summer Ever!

5 Tips for Your Healthiest Summer Ever
Stay hydrated – When the summer heat sets in, it’s more important than ever to stay hydrated. So, never leave home without your water. If you’re out in the sun and being active outside, you’ll want to add an extra serving or two to your daily intake.
Eat fresh foods – There are so many delicious fruits and vegetables that are in season during the summer. Hit your local farmers’ market for a great selection of fresh and locally farmed foods and add them to each meal.
Enjoy the outdoors – After being cooped up all winter, nothing feels better than being outside in nature. Take advantage of the warm weather to be active outside. Walking, running, biking, hiking, kayaking, rollerblading, swimming…the opportunities are endless!
Wear sunscreen – It is so important to protect your skin when you’re out in the sun. Try to limit direct sun exposure during peak hours of 10:00 – 3:00 when the sun produces the strongest UV rays. Apply plenty of sunscreen BEFORE you go outside.
