Healthy Summer Activities
The start of summer means it’s now OK to plod around the house in flip flops, cook all your meals on the grill, and smell of sunblock long after the sun has set. But it also signifies the midway point of the year, providing an excellent opportunity to check in on those wellness goals that you set all the way back in January. Whether you’re still on track or slacked off a bit during the colder months, there’s always another chance to find your footing and keep moving forward.
To celebrate summer we’re offering a few healthy summer activity ideas that can make recommitting to healthy habits every Monday as pleasant as a warm summer breeze.

Whether you’re into tangy, sweet, smoky, or spicy, Meatless Monday has a burger for you.
This Monday, let the outdoors be your gymnasium. Exercising in a park or wooded area allows you to experience the beauty of nature while getting in your daily physical activity.
Research shows that it only takes one good deed to change a person’s afternoon, day, week, month, or lifetime. A kind action reverberates beyond your immediate social circle and can impact the lives of people you may never even meet.

Summer is finally here. And so is a new crop of fruits and veggies. So, whether you are hitting the beach, going on a family vacation, enjoying a staycation or camping out with friends, you will be able to find fresh summer produce across the country.
