Why Summer Is the Best Time to Eat Healthy


Summer brings an abundance of fresh, seasonal produce that’s naturally hydrating, low in calories, and packed with nutrients. These foods are ideal for: 

  • Reducing body fat

  • Preserving lean muscle

  • Improving hydration and digestion

  • Boosting energy and mood


A diet rich in fruits and vegetables has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and certain cancers, while also supporting healthy weight management.


Our favourite healthy snacks at this time of year are; watermelon🍉, leafy greens🥬, grilled fish🐟, cherries🍒 and whole grains🌾.


These foods improve body composition as eating nutrient-dense, high-fibre, and protein rich foods helps you: 

  • Lose fat by reducing cravings and calorie intake

  • Build or maintain muscle with adequate protein

  • Stay hydrates, which supports metabolism and reduces water retention

  • Improves digestion, which enhances nutrient absorption and gut health
