Welcome to Week 2 of Sweet Summer Habits created by Healthier Texas. This week we will focus on nourishing our bodies with water and mindful eating. Staying hydrated is even more important during the hot summer months. The CDC offers the following tips for how to stay hydrated:
- Carry a reusable water bottle with you.
- Freeze water in freezer-safe bottles for ice-cold water all day.
- Choose water over sugary drinks.
- Opt for water when eating out.
- Serve water during meals.
- Add a wedge of lime or lemon to your water
