During the hot summer months, we are prone to dehydration.  Summertime can also be a difficult time to maintain a balanced diet, as heat can reduce appetite and the desire to cook and eat hot meals.

Have a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables and healthy snacks on hand.  You can make balanced meals and snacks with the wide variety of cool foods and pre-made items available.  Consider having items such as low fat cheeses, nut butters and nuts, pre-cooked grilled chicken, and yogurt.  Pre-cut some fruit and vegetables to have an easy, hydrating snack on hand.

 

Good Luck!!!
