Nutrition Tips Watermelon is the ultimate beat-the-heat, healthy treat. The name says it all – it consists of 92% water. It can cool you down, fill you up, and satisfy your sweet tooth. Watermelon is high in Vitamin A, C, and fiber. Make sure you treat yourself to a juicy wedge of watermelon this warm weather season!
JUMP INTO A HEALTHY SUMMER Get Active! Make family time active time. Activities such as going to the park are great ways to bond as a family and be physically active at the same time. While at the park you can play tag, toss a ball, jump rope, or hula-hoop. It doesn’t always have to be sports—just get moving!
Summer is fast approaching and it is the perfect time for the entire family to refresh their focus on healthy habits. However, with the freedom that summer brings, it can be a challenge to stay on track. Follow these simple health tips to make it a healthy and active summer: Seize the day – Make the most out of your summer days with foods that will energize you, such as whole grains, low-fat dairy, lean proteins, fresh fruit and vegetables. Make sure you visit IDEA Cafeterias this summer - FREE breakfast and lunch will be served to all children ages 18 and younger. Swap your dessert – Replace traditional desserts with a mix of in-season colorful fruits such as watermelon and mango. Watermelon is just as refreshing as ice cream and makes a great treat for family gatherings and cookouts. Stay hydrated – Replace sugary drinks with water. Staying hydrated with water eliminates the calories you would normally get from sugary drinks and hydrates your body from the summer heat. Try to drink at least 8 cups of water a day. Enhance the flavor by adding slices of fresh fruit like strawberries and lemons. Stay active – Find outdoor activities you enjoy; like riding your bike, gardening, swimming or playing sports with your friends and family. A minimum of 60 minutes of daily physical activity is recommended for all children. Read a book – Reading is fun but did you know it’s also great for your health? Reading can relax you and minimize stress. Make sure to open up several books this summer!

A. When eating watermelon!
When do you go at red and stop at green?
