Heat and Hunger

Experts say that heat can decrease one's appetite during the summer, so it's important to eat regularly, urges fitness specialist Bob Bonham, founder of the Strong and Shapely Gym in East Rutherford, N.J. Instead of eating three meals per day, consider eating five to six smaller, lighter meals, Bonham suggests. Also consider adding more fruit to your diet; not only are many fruits in season, but they also help hydrate the body when it's hot outdoors.
