Warm Weather Healthy Eating

Warm weather brings lots of opportunities to make good or bad nutrition decisions. Here are some more ways to keep your dining options healthy.

  • Eat a new vegetable or fruit each week.

Shop the farmers market each week or finally make the decision to try an organic fruit or vegetable at your favorite grocery store. I recommend starting with either organic carrots or organic strawberries. You can taste the difference.

  • Buy fruit and vegetables and cut them up and store them in opaque containers in your fridge.

Out of sight is out of mind. I can still hear my dad screaming from the other room, “get OUT of the ‘fridge you are wasting electricity!” Imagine having your family open the fridge and wanting to eat brightly colored antioxidant- rich fruits and veggies. It is hard to eat a watermelon sitting whole on the counter.
