Summer is finally here and now all the delicious, juicy fruits are in season as well.

Now that the heat is finally among us, we have to remember to feed our bodies with nutrients that will fill us with strong vitamins and keep us hydrated for the long days and nights filled with humidity.

The super fruit that is key for our bodies are avocados. According to Medical News Today, the avocado has over 20 vitamins including vitamin C,E,K, and B-6 and minerals for your body. One avocado provides your body with 64 healthy calories and has three grams of fiber. The super fruit also is healthy for many organs in your body including the heart and is great for keeping your vision strong. The fruit also is a preventive for cancer and supports bone health. If you need any more reason to eat this super fruit, it also improves digestion issues and detoxifies your body.

Summer is the time to keep your body replenished in the sun and what better way to do that with a variety of fruits. Fruits primarily grown in the summer time are great for multiple reasons and each one serves a specific function in the body. Tomatoes are great for keeping your heart healthy and strong and also prevents cancers. Strawberries and pineapple are great snacks to keep at the beach or any day trip to keep your skin hydrated and also provide your body with vitamin C to prevent sickness.

Another great snack to bring along in a baggie would be seeds or nuts. Specifically, sunflower seeds to help replenish vitamin E to the body, but also almonds to give your body some added protein to help you stay active through the hot days ahead.

Summer salads are almost a must for a healthy lunch and having kale or spinach instead of romaine lettuce could be a simple change to add much needed vitamins to your summer diet. The switch can supply your body with vitamin K, which has multiple benefits including clotting of the blood.

However, summer is not all about laying around at the beach when the nice weather hits, but also about becoming more fit when hiking trails and taking runs. Adding protein to your diet might not be a bad idea to keep your body fit. Like I mentioned earlier, almonds are a great snack to add protein, but also adding eggs to your diet can help add a little bit extra.

Lastly, with every meal water is your best friend. It can be easy to fall short of this habit and become dehydrated especially when staying active with the heat. Drinking plenty of water will help your organs in numerous ways, but will also help your brain and body stay hydrated and ready for whatever the summer may bring.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
