Pure North

As Remembrance Day approaches, Canadians prepare to reflect and honour the sacrifices military personnel have made for our Country and for our freedom.

Wearing a poppy is a visual pledge to honour Canada’s Veterans and remember those who sacrificed for the freedoms we currently enjoy. You can pick-up your poppy pin by donation through a Poppy Campaign partner near you: https://www.legion.ca/remembrance/the-poppy-campaign
The Legion Poppy fund donations provide financial assistance and support to Veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces and their families in need.

1. Establish healthy nutrition habits – summer can be tough time for kids to eat healthy. Try transitioning out the summer sweets and snacks for healthy food items before school starts so they can adjust to eating healthier lunches during school days 🥪

2. Make healthy breakfasts ahead of time – be sure to include a protein source like eggs, which are also loaded with other nutrients like iron, vitamin A, vitamin D, Folate and choline. Baked oatmeal, protein pancakes, or egg bites are great make-a-head breakfast options 🥚

3. Pack a healthy lunch box with your children’s input – take them grocery shopping and give them a few choices so they’re not surprised when they open their lunch. Bento lunch boxes are great way to serve a variety of lunch items. Items like fresh vegetables with hummus, cheese slices, diced fruit, whole grain wraps are great lunch box additions. 🛒

4. Include a water bottle – dehydration can diminish energy levels and cloud our thinking. Skip the juice boxes and add water enhancers like a splash of lemon or lime if your child struggles with drinking straight water 🫗

5. Have healthy after school snacks ready – apple with nut butter, yogurt, cheese, and whole grain crackers are great snacks to satisfy your kids after school without spoiling their appetite for supper 🍎

August 11th is National Son and Daughter Day! Today serves as a great reminder to let our children know how special they are by spending some quality time together. Here are some suggestions for celebrating your kids today:

- Playdate at the park
- Take them to the cinema
- Play a boardgame
- Make a fun meal together, like homemade pizza, or tacos
- For adult children, schedule a family video call and catch-up!
- Tell them that you love them ❤️

🌞 Getting enough water in this summer heat is essential to keep your body functioning optimally. Here are some tips to stay healthy and hydrated this summer:

💧Drink plenty of water – the correct amount varies by age and s*x, and activity level, but the Dietitians of Canada recommend 9 cups for women 19 years and older, and 12 cups of water for men 19 years and older.🫗

💧Limit sugary drinks, alcohol, and caffeine – drinks with these culprits can hinder hydration by removing water from our tissues. Be sure to up your water intake when drinking coffee, sodas, or cocktails. 🍺☕️🍹

💧Eat hydrating foods – watermelon, citrus fruits, cucumbers, and leafy greens are great sources of water. 🍉

💧Infuse your water with flavor – try adding a pop of flavor with herbs like mint, or basil, frozen berries, and citrus fruit. 🍋

💧Know the signs of dehydration – headaches, dizziness or fatigue can be signs of dehydration, along with muscle cramps, rapid breathing, and dark yellow urine. Your best bet is to get out of the heat and hydrate. 💦

Sunlight is the natural source for vitamin D, but most Canadians are deficient. Virtually every North American suffers from insufficient vitamin D due to limited sun exposure (working indoors for most of the day) and use of sunscreen which blocks vitamin D production.

Although daily sun exposure is important for overall health, getting enough vitamin D without supplementation can be challenging. Natural Factors SunVitamin D3 is a great way to get the Vitamin D your body needs all year round.
