El summer It is the best time of year to rest and relax a little, enjoying the good weather, vacations, and family and friends. But it is precisely that relaxation that makes us neglect some aspects that we have been taking care of throughout the year. And one of those ‘pending tasks’ of this summer season is control of our weight.
Unhealthy summer habits
Throughout the year we usually condition almost our entire life of leisure and rest to a routine. And not only a work routine, we also have our sleeping or eating schedules practically fixed. It’s no secret that, during the summer months, we become more lax about these schedules. Well, although it may seem like something unimportant, this affects our body.
The nutritionist Pablo Ojeda has revealed that the body, when you subject it to changes in schedule, changes and this has the consequence that it gains some weight: “Between one and a half kilos and six kilos.” In short, being able to have a routine and maintain it during the summer in terms of nutrition schedules will be beneficial for our body and we will avoid gaining those extra kilos during this period.
Gazpacho, ally or enemy?
It is no secret that it is one of the star foods of summer. A fresh, healthy and easy-to-eat food, gazpacho is one of the most famous Spanish foods, but is it beneficial for our health?
In general terms, Pablo Ojeda praises this typical dish, considering it ‘the best detox that exists on the planet’. So it will become one of the best foods to nourish you during these months, taking care of your external and internal health.

But, although gazpacho has many positive qualities, it also has a B side. Digestion begins at the chewing stage, a phase that if we skip it, we will not be warning our body to begin the metabolic process, so it will take longer to digest. Therefore, a glass of gazpacho as an accompaniment to the rest of the meal is magnificent since we will give that order to our body with the rest of the chewy foods.
