Polish dietitian urges proper hydration and balanced meals for summer

Clinical dietitian Monika Przystalska advises that staying well‑hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet are essential during the summer months. She highlights the risk of dehydration for children and seniors, recommending regular small sips of mineral‑rich water rather than large single drinks, and suggests using reminders to ensure consistent fluid intake. The diet should remain rich in protein, fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, and should not be altered solely because of the season. Przystalska also stresses the importance of planning nutritious meals for travel, warning against relying on quick energy snacks that lack vitamins and minerals. Overall, she encourages a year‑round healthy eating pattern, emphasizing fruits, vegetables, and adequate hydration to support long‑term health.
