The fact that watermelon can be had either as a drink or chopped up as salad makes it our best respite from the summer heat. Their high water content (over 90%) saves you from dehydration and bloating while the lycopene present in it can guard you against some types of cancers. It won’t be available throughout the year so have all you can of it before it goes out of season.

Ditch the wrap at Subway this weekend and try out making your own. It may not taste the same but won’t be bad either. All you will need is one big lettuce leaf as a wrap for veggies and baked tofu. You could squeeze some lime to enhance the flavor. Along with the fiber from veggies, you also get cancer-fighting protein from tofu.

Grab a few pouches of tuna the next time you are out shopping grocery. For a light and healthy snack, it will be your best bet. One pouch of tuna will comprise of as less as 70 calories but will provide you with a good 17 grams of protein. You can combine it with salsa hummus or mashed avocado for added flavor.
Grape tomatoes

Doesn’t the color and size of grape tomatoes remind you of candies? The two may look alike but are poles apart as far as nutritional value is concerned. On the one hand, candies are nothing but pigmented sugar balls while on the other, grape tomatoes are loaded with antioxidants, and vitamin C. Plus, they have a high amount of water which renders them a perfect summer delight.
