Summer H.E.A.T. Facts

Fruits are great sources of nutrients that keep you healthy and energized. Fruits make a great and healthy dessert because they are also naturally sweet and low in sodium and calories.

Hydration has a major effect on energy levels. Drinking water maintains your body hydrated while eliminating sugars and calories you would normally get from sugary drinks.

Dark leafy greens are one of the most nutrient dense vegetables. They are rich in Vitamin A, C, K and folate, and minerals such as iron and calcium. Make sure you try dark leafy greens such as kale, spinach, and romaine lettuce.

Daily physical activity is an essential component of a healthy lifestyle. Children need 60 minutes of play every day, but it doesn't have to occur at once. It all adds up!

Fruits and vegetables come in many colors, sizes, and shapes; but you will never know if you like them, unless you try them. It is okay if certain fruits or vegetables are not for you, but at least give them a try!

Regular reading provides academic benefits and it can also increase your brain power. Just like going for a jog exercises your heart, reading regularly improves memory function by giving your brain a good work out. Reading can also lead to less stress and better emotional health.
