Exercise for "dessert": The longer days of summer means more sunshine after dinner. Skip dessert and, instead, go for a walk with the family. Even a brisk, fifteen minute trot can burn 100 calories! Need to have a sweet treat after dinner? Try some fresh, juicy fruit instead of high-fat ice cream or cake.
