Food and Activity Adjustments

Okay, next question is, what changes do you notice in your food choices or physical activity in summer? Are there any particular things you do differently to stay well? Yeah, during summer, I prefer watery food like melons, watermelon or cantaloupe type foods, some citrus food like oranges, clementine, sour fruits, that's great during the summer. Okay great, next question is summer can be a social season with events and food and more spontaneity. Do these situations bring challenges for you and how do you navigate them? Um, culturally, um, the, the community we, I am from, like, we prefer like, um, spicy foods, oily foods and cooked foods, but it is an exception just for me. I don't like spicy foods. So whenever I'm going to participate in any, uh, any of these type of social gathering, there are a lot of choices. So I try to go by the mild options like yogurts and the meals that are made of vegetables in it or less protein, low amount of red meats. That's what my preference is, yeah. Okay, great. Thinking about those positive behaviors and attitudes we looked at earlier, are there any that feel especially relevant to you in summer? Summer is good for vegetable season. So I like a lot of vegetables. We try to plant some of our favorite vegetables in our small garden, and we take care of them. We harvest them during summer and enjoy them. Definitely we have, we try to put some flowers around the garden, so we enjoy it. That is something good we enjoy during summer. Have you discovered any strategies that help you stay on track with your health in summer? What works for you? What would you recommend to others? I recommend like for myself, what I do, I limit going outside on a like a very humid and high temperature day. I just try to try not to go outside on this day. Even if I'm going, I take like preparation, well preparation for going outside. If I'm meant to go like for work or for some social gathering or family occasion, I take like sufficient preparation to go outside. So even someone is trying to go outside, they should have preparation so that they don't get the adverse effect on them.
