Summer heat leads to summer flab

by Jummy

While the summer sun and warm temperatures mean that more of us are out and about, unfortunately this does not mean that we’re being more active.

Between dinner and drink dates after work on the many patios around town, ice cream bars and other cold treats to keep cool in the summer heat, if a more active lifestyle isn’t embraced, the weight can pile on. Another reason why it’s easy to get heavier in the summer is the thing that makes summer so great–the heat. If you live somewhere where the humidity is high, or the sun’s rays are just too hot, it’s easy to avoid activities that will increase your perspiration and feelings of sweatiness, such as walking, jogging, and playing sports. This may lead to you staying inside your air conditioned home and watching television, which can lead to mindless snacking and even more weight gain

If you’re finding that the summer is not doing anything good for your waistline, tune in tomorrow for some tips to get (and keep) moving in the summer.
