1. Load up on fruit

Summer is the season of fruit, so it's the best time to get your fill. Plus, it's a great snack that's super good for you and a healthy alternative for sugary desserts. You can even add a little whipped cream to make it sweeter!

2. Go for a walk outside

Going for a walk or run in the summer is the best because the weather is usually beautiful and it's a great way to stay active. Take a friend, or your dog, along for the walk with you for a little extra company.

3. Try some healthy alternatives to desserts

There are a bunch of healthy versions of classic desserts that honestly taste pretty good and are good for you. For example, try cutting up and freezing a banana overnight and then blend it up with some mix-in's of your choice for a healthy ice cream. Or, if you don't want to do the work, buy a healthier version of ice cream, like Halo Top.

4. Go swimming

Swimming is a great way to burn calories and stay active in the summer. If you have a pool, use it! If not, you can always go to a friend's house or a community pool.

5. Just hang out in the sun (wearing sunscreen, of course)

Spending time outside in the sun is necessary for our bodies to produce vitamin D, which a lot of people may be deficient of. Also, natural light has been shown to be good for fighting winter depression. Just remember to always protect your skin with sunscreen!
