summer is about taking it easy, vacations and hot, lazy days
soaking up the sun (responsibly, of course).
and, if you are anything like the doc’s and staff here at NS, you are
very excited about the light, summer fare that is available this time of year. melons, berries and all those wonderful
summer squash and greens just waiting to be transformed into a perfect pairing
for grass-fed kebobs or maybe a raw “veggie” pasta.

the great part about so many summer foods is that many of
them are magnesium and antioxidant rich and teeming with Vitamin C. This not only protects you from free radicals
and helps protect you from sun damage but it can also help keep stress levels
low. to stay cool as a cucumber, when
it’s hot outside you can nosh on spinach, kale, oranges, blueberries, pine
nuts, kidney, white or lentil beans, chick peas, quinoa, avocado and plain
yogurt. you can also try infusing your
water with various fruits to add variety and treat yourself.
