How to eat healthy in summer

Seasonal changes or particularly hot days can cause temporarily a lack of appetite. However, with heat, the nutritional requirements and in particular the protein requirements do not diminish. Sometimes it would be preferable to eat only a salad or fresh fruit, but over time this mode would lead to protein deficits, accompanied by a possible decrease in muscle tone. Even if there is a weight reduction, most likely, it would not be entirely dependent on body fat.

In order to follow and adapt to seasonal changes, it is necessary to find food preparations that are more appropriate for the heat, but guarantee the proper contribution of macronutrients (proteins).
