Eating HEALTHY & SAFETY During the SUMMER: An extreme heat wave has been sweeping the nation.Some people have even died, unfortunately, due to complications relating to the heat. The weather is not letting up either. Eat, even if you don’t feel hungry your appetite might be lower, but you still need energy. Choose the right foods. Fruits and veggies are almost 100% water so they will hydrate and nourish you. Try frozen fruit or a fruit and yogurt smoothie. Avoid high sugar beverages (energy slumps and lacks nutrition) and too much caffeine (those trendy iced coffees may be a little too much for your poor heart if you aren’t used to it.) Instead, drink pure water with a little citrus, berries or mint mixed in if you need flavor. Keep it cool. Eat cold foods over hot ones – try gazpacho or ceviche if you’re out at a restaurant. Skip the fried stuff, where the extra fat can be difficult on the digestive system.
