Health and Diet
Chinese food can be healthy if you avoid those deep fat fried foods. Sample some Chinese cooking the low-fat way. Try steamed spring rolls, steamed dumplings, chicken, fish or beef and vegetables with steamed rice. These dishes can fit into a healthy meal plan. Dont forget to ask for soy sauce on the side and omit MSG to reduce your sodium intake.

Fitness
Hot weather is no reason to skip your workout. If you feel it's too hot to head outside, bring your workout indoors. Consider a treadmill or other piece of exercise equipment. Circuit training in the gym or using dumbbells at home is another great way to get an aerobic workout without having to step foot outside.
