What you eat can either weigh you down or lift you up—especially during midlife. Summer is the perfect time to take advantage of fresh, vibrant foods that naturally support hormones, digestion, and energy.
Load Up on Leafy Greens.
Spinach, kale, and arugula provide magnesium and folate, which support energy and mood. Try tossing them in salads, smoothies, or sautéed with garlic
Snack on Berries.
Blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries are low-sugar, high-antioxidant fruits that promote brain health and gut function. Keep them washed and ready for easy snacking.
Prioritize Omega-3 Fats.
Fatty fish like salmon, walnuts, and chia seeds help manage inflammation and support hormonal balance. Try grilled salmon or chia pudding with almond milk.
Add Hydrating Produce.
Watermelon, cucumbers, and citrus fruits keep your body cool and refreshed. Add slices to your water or blend into a cooling summer smoothie.
Eat Healthy Fats Daily.
Avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil nourish your skin, support brain health, and help stabilize hormones. Add half an avocado to toast or drizzle olive oil over salads.
Incorporate Fermented Foods.
Foods like kefir, yogurt, and sauerkraut support gut health and digestion. Include a small serving daily to improve nutrient absorption and reduce bloating.
Limit Processed Carbs and Sugar.
Opt for whole foods instead of chips, crackers, or pastries that can drain energy. Focus on fiber-rich carbs like sweet potatoes, quinoa, and berries to feel more satisfied.
