Take a vacation from all non-essential uses of TVs, computers and cell phones—one week or one month. Use that time to pursue an activity you’ve wanted to try, spend time with others, practice a stress-reducing activity, get out in nature (ideas: star gaze, cloud watch, bird watch, plant), read a book, contemplate, or listen to music.

Salads are a great way to go in the summer heat. Add a variety of fresh vegetables and fruits, a healthy protein source (chicken breast, salmon, tuna, cottage cheese, or shrimp), go light or without cheese, and choose a light no-added-sugar dressing. Skinny Girl Poppyseed Salad Dressing (available online or at Walmart) is perfect for light summer salads.
Summer is a great season to move away from highly-processed foods and instead prepare meals with fresh ingredients, including seasonal fruits and vegetables. Add quick proteins that don’t require cooking like tuna, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, rotisserie chicken, black bean burgers, shrimp, or krab sticks.
