Seasonal Eating

One of the best things you can do for your health is to eat foods that are fresh and in season. Summer is the perfect time to eat fresh berries, watermelon, cherries, tropical fruits, and herbs such as cilantro, mint, or basil. Red fruits are particularly beneficial; the color red helps us to stay balanced in the hot summer months. Try these summer food ideas: Add a handful of red fruits such as raspberries or strawberries to your morning breakfast. Check out a new recipe for summer salsa. Experiment with avocado and mango.
