Think Pink - The Power of Pink Foods
Pink Salmon is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. In addition, it is rich in calcium, protein, magnesium, and potassium and contains iron, niacin, selenium, and vitamins A, B-12, C, and E. Research shows that omega-3 fatty acids may reduce inflammation and help lower the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and arthritis. Omega-3 fatty acids are highly concentrated in the brain and appear to be important for cognitive (brain memory and performance) and behavioral function.
Red Onions are a natural sources of quercetin. Quercetin is a bioflavonoid and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Quercetin is being studied for treating conditions of high cholesterol, heart disease, circulation problems, diabetes, cataracts, peptic ulcers, inflammation, asthma, gout, chronic fatigue syndrome, preventing cancer, and for treating chronic infections of the prostate. Quercetin research is evaluating the effectiveness of increased endurance and improved athletic performance. Red onions also provide allicin, an organic sulfur compound responsible for the taste and smell of onions. Allicin may protect against inflammation, allergies, and bacteria; and reduce the risk factors of certain types of cancers.

Beat the Heat - First Day of Summer
Resources.
1. National Weather Service
2. Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Hydrate Right
Heat is one of the leading weather-related killers in the United States, resulting in hundreds of fatalities each year. Heat-related illnesses can occur when the body’s temperature rises too quickly for it to cool itself properly, or when excessive fluid or salt loss occurs due to dehydration, excessive urination, or excessive sweating.
Heat-related illnesses can range from cramps to heat exhaustion to heatstroke. Heatstroke can result in death and requires immediate medical attention.
Factors or conditions making some individuals more susceptible to heat-related illnesses include older adults, young children, the physically disabled, excessive body weight, fever, heart disease, mental illness, poor circulation, prescription medication, alcohol use, and sunburn.
Staying hydrated is important, especially when the temperature rises or during increased physical activity. Try these easy ways to increase your fluid intake:
1. Carry a reusable water bottle. Keep it full.
2. Add flavor to your water with slices of lemon, lime, cucumber, or strawberries. Herbal iced teas can be a great way to increase your fluid intake.
3. Eat fruit or popsicles. You can get fluids from the foods you eat. Watermelon and cantaloupe have high water content. A 100% fruit juice pop provides fluids and is refreshing on a hot day.
4. Plan ahead. If you plan to be outside at a picnic or ball game, be sure to pack plenty of fluids.
Each year, children and pets left in parked cars die from hyperthermia. Hyperthermia is an acute condition that occurs when the body absorbs more heat than it can dissipate. Studies have shown temperatures inside a parked vehicle can rapidly rise to a dangerous level for children, pets, and even adults. Leaving the windows slightly open does not significantly decrease the heating rate. The effects can be more severe in children because their bodies warm up at a faster rate than those of adults.
