Smart Start to Summer

May 11, 2012 by

April showers bring May flowers and an opportunity to get a healthy start to summer! The weather is warmer and the sun is out longer giving you more time to be active. Summer is a great time of year to be more active, eat healthier and make new habits. Schedules  change as children are out of school, giving you more time to work on changing habits or adding better ones,seize the opportunity. Do what is easy first- Eat more fruits and vegetables- summer brings healthier choices so take advantage of those choices. Add after dinner strolls- taking a walk after dinner when you have the sun on your side, getting everyone in the family involved. Start a new habit- use the extra time you have with longer days to start something new or get back to a healthy habit lost during the busy school year. Summer is a great time to be active!
