This year we've been lucky(ish) with the summer weather, and with the amount of rain significantly less than the washout summers we've experienced from time to time over the past few years, it's been much more fun for all the family.
When we're out and about during the summer months there's loads of great healthy food to be had - check out this BBC Good Food healthy summer recipes page for inspiration.
However it's also good to keep an eye on all the stuff that we consume on holidays and summer weekends since there are always ways to keep it healthy. Did you know for instance that if you have a sugary version of a fizzy drink, the acid affects your mouth for up to an hour afterwards? All the more reason to rehydrate with something less sugary (and less acidic) such as sparkling water.
There's a good post here entitled healthy summer, healthy eating with some good summer health tips and exciting meal ideas. it's aimed at a Canadian audience, but the contents are all pretty universal and the food suggestions look genuinely tasty!
