The Joys of Summer



The Joys of Summer are almost endless. Lazy days soaking up sunshine by the pool or lake. Easy meals with lots of healthy fruits and vegetables. Back Yard barbecues and the opportunity to enjoy family and friends. Plenty of nutritious in-season vegetables from the local farmers market. Eating healthy is a breeze during the Summer.

Some foods are just plain better for you when you eat them fresh - or uncooked. Add a little broccoli and cauliflower to your next salad and enjoy the many healthy benefits of cruciferous vegetables. Some scientists are touting the cancer fighting benefits of broccoli and cauliflower when eaten uncooked. And everyone benefits from the fiber inherent in these wonderful additions to any salad.

For more fiber and some protein add some red beans to your favorite salad. Beans are good for you and a great addition to your daily diet!

Healthy eating is easy in the good old Summer time! Enjoy a tasty, healthy salad at your next barbecue!
