‘Tis the season for picnics, barbecues, and outdoor parties! But that doesn't mean that just because you aren't choosing all of your meals, that you have to pack on the pounds this summer. Keep these tips in mind at your next picnic:

Choose lean ground meat when making burgers. You should also try low-fat hot dogs, sausages and bratwurst and other grilled favorites.

Seafood and chicken are great grilled foods and are both still healthy picnic options.

Don't forget your greens and mix in a salad to your picnic or party menu.

Remember your veggies as they are also great on the grill and in side dishes, especially summer time veggies like squash and zucchini.

Instead of chocolate desserts, think fruity desserts instead, and take advantage of a season when fruits are plenty.

Tired of buying fresh lettuce only to throw it out two days later because it has browned and wilted? Then keep these tips in mind to help keep your lettuce fresher longer:

Use air tight storage bags to store your lettuce, versus using the plastic bags that you buy your lettuce in.

Avoid pre-bagged lettuce, as it has already been preserved, and is well on its way to spoiling.

Do not store your lettuce in metal pans. This also speeds up the spoiling process and is not recommended to preserve the freshness of your lettuce.

Use the crisper in your refrigerator. The crisper actually does keep foods like lettuce and other vegetables crispier and therefore fresher.

Try using items like Tupperware's Fridgesmart that helps to preserve lettuce through the design of the container.

For those who suffer from seasonal allergies it seems very hard to get outdoors and enjoy the spring weather because of all of the allergens. But thanks to recent report put out by Penn State University, researchers offer these tips to exercise with allergies.

Run early in the morning or later in the evening when it is damper out and less pollen is in the air.

Wear sunglasses to rebound any pollen from getting into your eyes.

Shower immediately following being outdoors exercising and use a neti pot to clean any pollen or allergens out of your nose.

Try swimming and water-based exercise if the pollen and allergens are still getting the best of you.

Spring is finally here! After a long and cold winter, everyone is in their glory with the sunshine and warm weather.

However, coming hand-in-hand with the blooming season is some people's dreaded seasonal nightmare: hay fever.

One of the best plans of action for fighting spring allergies is to avoid the things that make your sneezing, itching and watering eyes worse. Warren V. Filley, M.D., a spokesperson for the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, recently told health.com which plants you should avoid.

Ragweed : It is common along riverbanks and in rural areas. Dr. Filley says that almost 75 percent of people with allergies are sensitive to ragweed.

Mountain cedar : This tree is commonly found in mountainous regions and, according to Dr. Filley, causes some of the “most severe allergy symptoms I have ever seen.”

Ryegrass : This grass is common in dry lawns, meadows and pastures. This, along with other grasses, is often very problematic for allergy sufferers, Dr. Filley says.

Maple : These trees are found along streams and in woods all through the eastern United States and Canada. The maple produces potent allergens.

Elm : Common in the wetlands, these trees will most likely aggravate your allergies.

Mulberry : This pretty tree can be very deceiving. Found in woods and river valleys, it is often associated with contributing to hay fever.

Pecan : Although it makes many good desserts, the pollen from pecan : found in woods and orchards : is second only to ragweed as the most severe source of allergens.

Oak : It may have less potent pollen, but it produces very large quantities of it, Dr. Filley says. Avoid the woods just for this one.

Pigweed/Tumbleweed : This common weed is found in lawns and along roadsides, but be aware that it will not do your sinuses any good.

Arizona cypress : Found specifically in warm climates and well-drained soil areas, this tree can contribute to pollen problems almost all year round, according to the article.

Mold : Allergies acting up in the spring could be because of mold levels rising with wetter, warmer air. Dr. Filley contributes various types of molds to producing significant allergy symptoms throughout the United States.

While this only touches on a few possible plants and their related allergens, every day researchers are finding more and more possible allergens that people are dealing with in their lives.

Keep in mind that medication will help most symptoms of allergies, but it's best to see an allergist to determine the exact allergy that you are dealing with and treat that particular allergen, rather than taking a general “allergy pill” that encompasses many different symptoms and allergens.
