After a long winter, I look forward to the summer heat, the summer fashion, and the summer food and drinks. I am a huge fan of summer snacks! To be clear, all snacks are not bad. Summer is my favorite time of year for snacking. Bedsides, I can usually walk and run off the extra calories as the weather is so great.
We can all make healthy food choices this summer by resisting high-calorie, processed snacks or food. Instead, we can choose seasonal foods and stay away from processed sugars. This will help you maintain a healthy body and mind.
