COVER FEATURE

Welcome SummerWith a Diet Of

Colorful

Fruits and Vegetables

Summer is a time for growth and lots of outside activity. Make sure to add some colorto your diet.

When you select your foods, include a variety of brightly colored fruits and vegetables.Summer offers abundant variety and the diet should reflect this. The body sweats outminerals and oils and their loss can cause weakness if they are not replaced througha varied diet. Common fruits which cool summer heat are apples, watermelon (melonsin general), apricots, pears, peaches, lemons and limes.When you select your foods, avoid refrigerated or frozen foods. Too much refrigeratedor frozen food combined with summer heat weakens digestive organs. Iced drinks andice cream actually contract the stomach and stop digestion. Chilled food is refreshingand refrigeration keeps food from spoiling, but eating food at that temperature can slowor stop digestion.Fruits and vegetables are easy to digest and have other advantages for the warmermonths. Eat frequent (every 3 hours) but small meals. Eating less and lightly on hot,bright days is a natural, healthy practice.
