Navigating the Fair

Eat Refreshed Navigating the Fair Picture
​Fair food is notoriously fried, sweet and interestingly weird. Only at the fair could a vendor offer fried Coca Cola or Pepsi Cola and make a killing. It seems like every year they come out with something even stranger than the year before; the Iowa State Fair even sells fried butter now! As a dietitian, I cannot say that I am tempted to try that one, but you might get me interested in a funnel cake or part of a fried Snickers.

​Healthy choices extend beyond diet and exercise. They also include the decisions you make everyday in regards to your personal safety. Some of the most important choices you make involve decisions made while driving or riding in a motor vehicle. The statistics from the State’s 2012 crash facts report help illustrate the potential for unhealthy outcomes associated with driving.

Tips from Mower Refreshed readers

8/3/2013

How much water do you drink each day? Benefits?
  • ​On an average day 6-8 glasses of water, but hot and active days even more. Helps keep hydrated, more energy! MM
​
  • I used to drink small amount of water each day, but in April (with help from my doctor and nutritionist) changed my eating patterns to more healthy food, better portions, eating breakfast each day, getting on the treadmill and drinking plenty of water. My goal is 8-8oz glasses each day. I believe right now I have averaging 6. So far, I’ve lost 50 lbs! SC
​​
  • I’m finding when I drink more water on a regular basis my body aches less! Love this simple discovery. BW

Reset, refocus, realign, re-evaluate, re-do…

8/1/2013

​Reset, refocus, realign, re-evaluate, re-do, reboot, all do-overs in some way. Taking what we are doing, have done and deciding to do it differently. This is where real learning happens – in the midst of all the do-overs. Too often we view those times as failures or mistakes because we’ve been trained somehow to believe we can get it right the first time – every time.
