Nutrient Highlight: Fat - National Avocado Day on July 31

Fat is an essential part of a healthy diet—your body needs fats to work properly! Fats help your body absorb important vitamins, keep your cells strong, and even provide you with energy.
But not all fats are the same. Some fats are better for you than others. Try to focus on eating more healthy fats, like:
🥑 Unsaturated fats (found in foods like avocados, nuts, and seeds)
🐟 Omega-3 fatty acids (found in oily fish like salmon and trout)
These good fats help your heart, brain, and overall health. So go ahead and enjoy foods like almonds, olive oil, or a tasty piece of grilled fish—your body will thank you!
Want more tips on nutritious eating? Explore our other resources or talk to a WIC dietitian. We’re here to help you and your family stay healthy and strong! 💚 www.signupwic.com/find-a-clinic

Swim Safety:

💦 Stay safe around water this summer! Swimming is a fun way to cool off, but it’s important to stay safe around pools and open water. Drowning is one of the leading causes of death for children ages 1-4. It can happen in seconds, often silently, even when kids aren't supposed to be swimming.
Keep your family safe with these must-know tips:
👀 Active supervision is key. Always watch kids near water, even if it’s a small amount of water.
👙 Blue and green swimsuits blend in. Dress your child in bright, contrasting colors like red, pink, or orange so you can easily see them under water!
🏊🏾‍♀️ Teach kids to never swim alone, no matter their skill level.
🛟Learn CPR. It could mean the difference between life and death.
For more important tips to prevent drowning (even when it’s not swim time), check out this helpful resource from : https://www.healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/at-play/Pages/Pool-Dangers-Drowning-Prevention-When-Not-Swimming-Time.aspx
