The arrival of the summer is synonymous with nutritive and succulent food. Temptation to offer a small tasty but less healthy gatery (did you hear the salesman of ice cream?) is also present.

Consume food of season. According to the area that you live, the summer is the season of the small fruits, cherries, tomatos and fishings, without forgetting super star of the picnic: a good watermelon juicy and refreshing. The ripe and sweetened fruits of summer constitute an excellent source of antioxydants, particularly of vitamin C, lycopene and beta-carotene. As the fresh fruits of the summer contain a great quantity of beneficial nutrients, you can consume them in collation, to incorporate them in salads or whipped yoghourts and to furnish some with more sweetened gâteries.

Eat lighter. The summer, it is preferable to consume food lighter than in winter. Replace thick soup by a light gaspacho. Choose the soups prepared with ingredients of season: melon, lawyer, marrow of summer, corn, sugar peas or vegetables crunching like cucumber. Return-your meals even tastier with fresh and odorous grasses like the basil and the coriandre. Brennan Robertson, nutritionnist, affirm that peppermint has also its place in the menus of summer, because it refreshes while calming the stomach after a meal, thus supporting a good digestion.

You refresh. Do not hesitate to succumb occasionally to temptation to consume a fresh and sweetened gatery. Let you attract by the sound of the bell of the salesman of ice cream. Test the delights frozen like the mochi with savor of the green Japanese, the Italian ices, the crémeux gelatos or the sorbets with the fruit juice. If you feel guilty, say you that: “The ice cream and the gelato are made dairy products, and are thus rich in calcium, a substance contributing to the good health of the bones”, affirms Robertson. If you seek a weak fat contents food, choose a frozen yoghourt. Intolerance with lactose can limit the choices of certain people, but there exist delicious pleasures frozen containing rice and of soya, as well as lollipops frozen with the fruit juice.

Drink sun. The summer, it seems that the more the weather is hot, plus our body is attracted by cold drinks. Drink much water to avoid dehydration, but spoil you occasionally with a frozen the, a lemonade or an iced coffee. Raise the acid savor of your lemonade while adding to it of the fresh ginger. If you like the, you can choose among a large variety of sheets. The green the contains antioxydants, which can be beneficial after a sun bath, and certain fruity teas contain vitamin C.
