Summer barbecue and food and beer festival season are just around the corner, but that doesn’t mean you should lose all that hard work getting your body into shape. Luckily, we have a list of the foods you may want to avoid this summer while still enjoying some of the foods you love.

Hot Dogs:
One of the main food items that are present at every barbecue, but you may want to let the kids enjoy these. The processed meat isn’t just a hazard to your physique, but also your health. The World Health Organization has taken note of the cause-and-effect relationship between colorectal cancer and masquerading foods in a sausage casing.

White Wine:
You may want to pour yourself a nice glass of wine while gathered with family and friends, but make sure it isn’t a white wine. According to a group of Harvard researchers, the alcoholic spirit has been linked to certain types of melanoma. Even Eat This, Not That is warning against drinking a glass of Riesling. According to food experts, white wine contributes to the elimination of antioxidants and vitamins that help protect your skin from the sun.

While enjoying your day at the local fair or amusement park this summer don’t buy any pretzels. The soft and crunchy snack is full of carbs and sodium that will make you feel bloated.
