SEASONAL HEALTH TIPS
We can make the most of the warm weather and long days by being active and enjoying the outdoors. We should also be eating foods that promote energy and activity, such as light and easy-to digest foods. Take advantage of all the different varieties of foods that are available in summer. Try something new!
For most people, summer is a great time to eat avocado, banana, kiwifruit, mulberry, stone fruits, pineapple, strawberry, melons, alfalfa, asparagus, barley, celery, cucumber, lettuce, mung beans, peppermint, radish, tofu, tomato, watercress and wheat.
