Hello, helloaa!!!
Can you feel the warmth already? well, we are soon entering what will be the real
summer, and as we know, not all countries go through four seasons, but we will always
have hotter moments. I´m ready to enjoy the summer, but before we jump into the pool or the beach, I want to talk about something very important: nutrition for the hot
season.
In summer, our body needs more hydration and energy to combat the high
temperatures. Therefore, it is essential to choose foods that help us stay cool, healthy
and energetic.
Here are some extraordinary tips for an ideal summer nutrition:
1. Seasonal fruits and vegetables:
- They are the best source of vitamins, minerals and water. Choose fruits such as
watermelon, melon, strawberries, peaches, plums, etc., and vegetables such as
cucumber, tomato, zucchini, peppers, etc. You can eat them fresh, in salads, shakes or
smoothies.
- You can consume them fresh, in salads, shakes or smoothies, experiment with
different recipes!
2. Water and hydrating drinks:
- It is essential to drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially in
summer. It is recommended to drink 2 to 3 liters of water a day.
- You can add a touch of flavor to your water with lemon, lime or cucumber
slices.
- Avoid sugary drinks and soft drinks.
3. Light proteins:
- Choose proteins such as white fish, chicken, turkey or eggs. They are lighter
than red meat and will give you the energy you need.
- You can prepare them grilled, baked or steamed.
4. Complex carbohydrates:
- Choose complex carbohydrates such as whole grain pasta, brown rice, quinoa or
potatoes. They will give you energy gradually and help you feel satiated for longer.
- Combine them with vegetables and protein for a complete meal.
5. Healthy fats:
- Don´t forget healthy fats like olive oil, avocado or nuts. They are essential for heart and brain health.
- Consume them in moderation, as they are caloric.
Another super useful recommendation:
- Prepare fresh and light meals: salads, gazpachos, cold creams, etc. They are ideal
to combat the heat and will provide you with all the nutrients you need.
- Avoid heavy and copious meals: They will make you feel more tired and with less
energy.
- Do not forget the importance of light dinners: They will help you sleep better and
avoid indigestion.
By following these tips, you can enjoy a healthy summer, full of energy and vitality!
Always remember: Decide for your health.
