Nearly a decade after the World Health Organization developed guidelines restricting products marketed to children based in part of sugar, fat and salt content, a systematic review published Aug. 9 in the journal Nutrients ​ found 88% of products marketed to children in 2017 do not meet WHO’s 2010 standards. This is the same percentage as in 2009, according to the study which compared products marketed to children in Canada in 2009 to 2017.

Knowing what your body needs and fueling it correctly in the summer enables your cardiovascular health to soar during these hot months. “Appetite lowers naturally in the summer, and that is normal and okay,” Penner says. “It’s perfectly fine and beneficial for most people to have two meals per day.
