In summer, we are often less hungry with the hot weather and especially less desire to eat hearty and hot dishes. Logical, right? But you still have to eat to avoid discomfort.

So what to eat when it's so hot? Digesting food requires energy from the body, which warms it up through the metabolism. This is why we are less hungry! We, therefore, prefer small portions several times a day.

But when the sun is shining outside, and the market gardeners' stalls are full of seasonal fruits and vegetables, nothing could be easier. So here's a guide to what to eat this summer!

We all know that watermelon contains a large amount of water, which is especially necessary for the summer. Also, watermelon contains lycopene, which protects your skin from the sun's rays. Don't forget to protect your skin with your favorite sunscreen!

Maybe you think that it is better to eat oranges in winter, to fight against colds and flu. But orange is rich in potassium, a mineral salt that your body needs to recharge and rehydrate in summer because a good part of the water in your body is lost during the natural phenomenon of sweating. This is no reason not to exercise!

The yogurt is a great -aliment room throughout the year, but even in summer. It gives us proteins that are easier to digest than those in meat, in addition to providing probiotics that aid digestion. And stopping to eat a little meat can't hurt you.

Celery And Fennel

Who says summer vacation necessarily says barbecue. So whether you are not a fan of red meat or simply want to combine pleasure and health, this is the solution! Sardines are rich in omega 3, phosphorus, vitamin B3 and calcium, all for 163 Kcal / 100g.

Toasted, this crunchy little treat protects your cardiovascular system and also fights stress. So much better than the traditional sausage.

When you're feeling thirsty and looking for something refreshing and tasty, rather than just having a glass of water, try iced green tea. From the fight against cancer to lowering cholesterol to reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, green tea is the ideal drink. Plus, no chemicals or added sugar!

Green Vegetables
