Slim Down for Summer

Kelly Springer, RD By Monday, 13 July 2015 04:33 PM EDT Current | Bio | Archive

Summer is a perfect time to begin a weight loss plan. When the sun comes out, so does your motivation to move more and eat better.

Get outside for a walk in the sunshine! Did you know that you can get your daily recommended dose of vitamin D in just 10 minutes? A ten-minute walk will give you enough rays to produce about 10,000 IU of the vitamin.

Vitamin D and exercise combined will help to decrease your waistline and your risk of heart disease, certain cancers, and depression.

Fresh fruits and veggies are plentiful in the summer, which makes it easy to crunch on your favorites from your local farmers market.

Try to eat the rainbow. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple produce boost your immune system and give you energy.

Fruits and vegetables are low in calories and dense in nutrients. That is why it is recommended to get in one to four cups of veggies every day.

Plus, fruits and veggies are made up of around 92 percent water, making them the perfect summer snack to boost hydration.
