stay cool  in the hot heat
 
Greetings!
     Summer is here and in full  force. During this time of year, we naturally crave raw and fresh foods  that have  a cooling effect on the body. This is because  the  lightness of fruits and vegetables, combined with their  high water, fiber and vitamin content work together  as an internal air conditioner.
    Remember to drink lots of water to hydrate your body properly during the hot months. The rule of thumb is to drink half your body weight in ounces of water every day. Drink more if you are feeling overheated!
    Finally, take advantage of every opportunity to buy fresh. Explore your local produce markets and try something new! Eating foods that are local and in season is a great way to stay connected to your body, as well as support local agriculture and the environment.  
   Have fun and stay cool,

SPRINGDALE, Ark. - Tyson Foods will no longer use antibiotics to raise chicken that is sold fresh in stores and it will launch a $70 million advertising campaign to tout the shift, the company said Tuesday.

The company said fresh chicken raised without antibiotics reached stores this week in packaging that emphasizes that there are no artificial ingredients.

"While we have great confidence in the quality of our traditional chicken, we're also committed to providing mainstream consumers with the kind of products they want," Tyson Foods president and chief executive Richard L. Bond said.  Read more ...
