Say YES to Water

Did you know?



June 23 is national hydration day. Here are some tips for staying hydrated:

• Eat more fruits and vegetables with high water content.
• Drink a glass of water before each meal.
• Add fruits to your drinks.
• Carry a water bottle with you everywhere you go.
• Drink a glass of water first thing in the morning.
• Anytime you pass a water fountain, take a drink. 
• Alternate your drinks. Every time you drink something other than water, take a sip of water right after. 
• Water is needed to maintain the shape of blood cells which are needed to carry nutrients, oxygen and waste throughout the body.
• Staying hydrated helps with the regulation of body temperature.
• Being dehydrated can affect your mood by causing you to feel tired, cranky or irritable. 

Let's Get Movin'!

“Summertime Staircase” in June



• Going up & down a set of stairs might seem like second nature to us, but intentionally going up & down a set of stairs can make for a great way to break a sweat.
• Find a set of stairs and complete 6 climbs (up & down = 1). If stairs are out of the question, complete the alternative.
• Alternative: Stand in place and do high knees at a walking pace for a total of 1 minute.

Harvest of the Month: Peaches

Produce Tips



• A half cup of sliced peaches is about one cupped handful. This is about the size of half of a medium peach.
• A half cup of peaches has vitamin C, vitamin A, and fiber.
• Look for peaches and nectarines that have a sweet smell and feel slightly firm. 
• Keep ripe peaches and nectarines in the refrigerator for up to one week. 
• Put firm peaches and nectarines in a paper bag at room temperature until ripe.
