At the start of summer, it’s time to get ready to make the most of the season by adopting a healthy eating plan!
Whether you’re planning a holiday in the mountains, at the beach, going out in the fresh air or simply want to feel good about yourself, a balanced diet can help you achieve your goals.
Here’s some advice on how to set up a healthy diet at the start of summer, so that you can feel energised, confident and ready to make the most of every moment.

1. Assess your current diet:
Before you start, take the time to assess your current diet. Identify if some of your eating habits could be improved and what less nutritious foods you could cut back on. This will help you to determine the adjustments you need to make for a healthier diet.
If you have any doubts about this, ask your favourite nutritionist to help you (:-) )
2. Opt for fresh, seasonal foods:
Summer is an ideal time to enjoy fresh, seasonal fruit and vegetables. Fill your shopping basket with colourful produce such as juicy strawberries, crisp cucumbers and ripe tomatoes.
Seasonal foods are not only delicious, but also rich in essential nutrients to help you feel good.
3. Plan your meals and snacks:
Meal planning is a key strategy for healthy eating. Take the time to plan your meals for the week ahead.
This will help you make more informed choices, avoid last-minute temptations and ensure you include all the food groups in your daily diet.
You can also prepare healthy snacks to take with you, such as vegetable sticks or nuts, to avoid cravings.
4. Increase your water consumption:
Hydration is essential for feeling good in summer. Increase your water intake to ensure you’re well hydrated throughout the day.
Take a reusable water bottle with you and set yourself reminders to drink regularly.
You can also opt for refreshing drinks such as fruit-infused water or iced herbal teas with no added sugar.
5. Make balanced meals a priority:
Make sure your meals are balanced by including a source of lean protein (such as chicken, fish or pulses), colourful vegetables, (semi-) wholegrain cereals and healthy fats.
This combination will give you the nutrients you need while keeping you fuller for longer.
6. Favour healthy cooking methods:
Opt for steaming or stir-frying. This preserves the nutrients in the food while limiting the amount of saturated fat.
Conclusion
By adopting a healthy diet before the summer holidays, you can ensure that you’re ready to make the most of the season. By choosing fresh, seasonal foods, planning your meals, increasing your water intake and using healthy cooking methods, you’ll be able to feel good about your body and be ready for unforgettable moments.
So get ready now and make your food your ally for an energising, revitalising summer!
