Fried Food

Fried food isn’t good for your health in general, but it’s even worse in the summer. In addition to dehydrating you, burgers, french fries, and other junk foods can be pretty difficult to digest.

Spicy Food

No matter how much you love eating spicy food, try to avoid them once temperatures are too high because they’ll trigger your body heat, leading to excessive sweating, boils on the skin, and dehydration.

Salty Food

If you’ve been thinking of reducing your sodium intake for quite some time, you should do it this summer. Eating salty foods can lead to dehydration and it’s best avoided when it’s hot outside.

Hot Drinks

Hot beverages like tea or coffee are also best avoided in the summer. They’ll increase the overall temperature of the body and that’s the opposite of what you’re trying to achieve because you should stick to the drinks that keep you cool.

The post Foods That Are Best Avoided During Hot Summer Months appeared first on yourdailysportfix.com.

100% Fruit Juice

When you drink fruit juice you’re probably used to drinking at least a heaping cup’s worth. But, the actual portion size is half a cup. While fruit juice has tons of vitamins and minerals, it doesn’t have as much fiber as whole fruit. When possible, just eat the whole fruit, and if you’re buying juice at the store check the nutrition label to make sure there isn’t added sugar.

Ice Cream

Ice cream is the ultimate summer treat and when you go to your local ice cream shop, you’re getting between one to two cups. The actual serving size is one scoop or half a cup. It’s important to be mindful of how much ice cream you’re eating because it’s high in fat and added sugar. If you want the sweet taste of ice cream without the calories, opt for popsicles or sorbet.

Grilled Meat

Summer’s grilling season and we’re sure you’ll be heading to tons of barbecues during these warmer months. While most people eat an eight-ounce steak or a five to six-ounce burger, the portion size is actually less than three ounces. Choose lean proteins and fill your plate with veggies and whole grains.

Dried Fruit

If you’ve ever looked at the amount of calories and added sugar in dried fruit, you were probably surprised to say the least. While you think you’re being healthy, after all, you’re eating fruit, it’s really high in calories. The portion size is 1/4 cup, so be mindful when snacking on it. Try making a trail mix with some dried fruit, nuts, and oats.
