Nutritionist Amil López Viéitez on maintaining healthy eating during summer
Nutritionist and pharmacist Amil López Viéitez suggests that summer vacations do not inherently require poor eating habits, though the loss of routine often leads to less healthy choices.
Common issues during the summer include altered meal schedules, increased dining out, and a higher consumption of snacks, alcohol, and ice cream. Viéitez notes that the primary problem is not individual special meals, but the cumulative effect of these excesses over several weeks, which can lead to weight gain and physical saturation.
While heat can influence appetite, Viéitez points out that experimental studies show high temperatures may actually decrease the desire for fatty foods. She recommends choosing healthy, refreshing options like water and fruit to maintain nutritional balance.
