As half the world heats up during this time of the year, many of us reach for the fresh fruits and veggies while others are planning exciting trips this time of year.
Whatever your plans, it is easy to get off track with your health and wellness goals. You can make staying in shape this summer easy with these four simple tips.
Stay active while on vacation. It is easy to relax, put your feet up, and forget about physical activity. Going on hikes, walks, or tours can squeeze in some exercise. Try using your hotel's gym if traveling, or bring your own jump rope or exercise bands.Pack snacks. If you are traveling someplace that doesn't require a long commute, pack a cooler full of fresh produce, yogurt, reduced fat cheeses, nuts, and plenty of water. If your destination is far away, stop by a local grocery store to pick up healthy snacks for your stay. Many hotels have mini fridges where you can store a small amount of perishables. Packing and planning ahead will save you from making last minute high calorie choices. Read the menu before you dine. We tend to eat out for most meals while traveling, but that doesn't mean choosing a high calorie dish. First, try to look up the restaurant's nutrition information online. Second, try to read a menu before you go. Studies show that you will often choose a lower calorie and healthier menu option if you can decide ahead of time. Avoid high calorie beverages. It is easy to give in to the joys of vacation and have a fancy alcoholic drink made with sugary syrups. One of these adult treats could set you back up to 1000 calories. Stick to a white wine spritzer, or low calorie mixers. Also, keep the alcohol consumption to a maximum of one drink per day for women, and two per day for men.Whatever your plans are this summer, Diet Blog wishes you a summer filled with health and happiness.
