With the hot and humid weather stretching across the country, everyone needs to think about their eating and drinking habits..
Alcohol and Caffeine can deplete your system. Be sure to drink enough water to keep hydrated.
Remember you cannot work off a bad diet! If you are at the beach stay away from chips, pretzels, crackers and opt for fresh fruit, water, fruit juice (no sugar) nuts, protein bars. And don't forget the hat, sunglasses and sun screen!
While traveling stick to yogurt, salads with grilled chicken, smoothies with fresh fruit and protein (watch the calories, fat and sugar count). There are healthy options at most airports if you look for them!!
At a beach resort where so many are at this time of year, always opt for the local foods....grilled fish, vegetables and salad with dressing on the side. And watch that intake of those yummy umbrella drinks as they are loaded with calories!!
If you have no fitness center available take that run or long walk on the beach it's not only a cardio workout, but also is great leg workout. Push ups, squats, crunches and lunges can be done almost anywhere so no excuses for not getting a quick workout in!!
