Summer is here... and we've been reminded by the great folks at Sears that it is time to take out those grills from the garage and start grilling. Ahhh... grilling... I can't think of a better way to enjoy the summer season -- especially here in Florida -- where summer is part of the year round culture and it can a toll on our bodies. So, if you're like some of us here at MenScience, and you actually barbecue your way through winter, then you'll probably start the summer with some stuff that can spoil your wife's hot-eye for you.

Luckily, it's just a matter of enhancing your lifestyle with some fun/healthty exercise, and adjusting your summer diet to barbecuing foods that are better for your body.

Get Fit This Summer: Step 1

So, let's with exercising; in general, you know that staying active is vital to your fitness--body and skin. Take full advantage of the summer days and plan outdoors physical activities that can help you eliminate fat and pump calorie-burning up. Start by obtaining a Personal Health Fitness Profile. Then, go biking, running, swiming, tennis, volleyball, baseball, basketball, surfung... anything that can make you sweat and increase your body’s metabolic rate. Do this at least 2-3 times per week for about 45-60 minutes. And remember, since you're going to be out in the sun, protect your skin from harmful summer sunrays, while conditioning it with TiO2 Sunblock SOF 30; this is a non-greasy, waterproof and sweatproof formula that combines the powerful sun blocker, Titanium Dioxide, with the softening, moisturizing and repairing effects of Aloe, Chamomile, Green Tea, Vitamin E and antioxidants, TiO2 Sunblock SPF 30 goes on invisibly and is perfect for all men’s skin types.

Get Fit This Summer: Step 2

Now, in order to optimize your workouts, we recommend adding natural weight loss support supplement for men to help increase the effects of your exercise routines. Our 24 Fit System uses a proprietary combination of natural health supplements to support weight loss processes around the clock and is ideal to complement any exercise program. Of coarse, as with any weight loss program, you should try controlling your appetite and keeping your metabolism going by "eating several small meals" throughout the day. Avoid skipping meals, make sure you’ve got some healthy snack options available to you (this is a great way to get in your 5-9 servings a day of fruits and vegetables), drink LOTS of water, stay away from carbohydrates and other calorie-packed stuff like mayonnaise, butter and sour cream. Although most grilling foods are protein based, we do tend to unnecessarily enrich them with not-so-healthy condiments and spices.

So, get out there and be active! A little fun exercise for your body during summer will ensure that you can enjoy those juice burgers and Argentinian Chorizos on the grill.

Here’s a nice weight loss tip that will make you feel like a million bucks: empty out your junkie diet. There’s nothing like a healthy diet to motivate you and give you a fresh start for the year.

Here’s how to do it while losing those extra holiday pounds. Start by cleaning out your refrigerator; gather any left over holiday food and give it to someone else – get rid of it. Presto! Your food box is clean and empty, so you can make a trip to the closest fresh market and buy healthy foods – lots of fruits, delicious vegetables, lean meats and whole grain items. It may sound eerie, but it's a simple thing.

If you've ever browsed the health aisle of a bookstore, you have a pretty good idea of the huge amount of information available covering almost every facet of health, eating and nutrition. More and more of these books are published everyday, pushing new ideas about nutrition to the forefront, and causing yesterday's advice to fade into the background.

With all this "nutritional help" available, why are men still dealing with a growing weight problem?

Gary Taubes proposes to shed a different light on the answer in his new book, Good Calories, Bad Calories. Although the book has caused plenty of eyebrows to lift by heaping even more blame on carbs for increased weight problems and revealing that the "obesity" crisis actually comes down to a small increase of body mass index, Taubes's main point seems to be that our ideas of nutrition and weight gain are based on scientific information that has not been thoroughly tested or proven, and has simply been accepted by us as "fact."

Taubes is getting plenty of heat for his strong views (some say he tends to omit contradictory health studies of the past), and he's gained plenty of attention for this new approach to nutrition (he's been featured in Men's Journal, ABC News, and the New York Times last month alone).

But what do you think about Taubes's concept? Is there anything wrong with re-thinking the facts of nutrition? Or is it just another book to add to the growing mountain of literature offering yet another "health fix" for the average man?
