Nutrition Quarterly Summer 2022

Letter from the Founder Let’s put the “carefree” back in Summer this year! Roll out those lazy hazy crazy days of Summer again...the days of soda, pretzels and ice cream! Everything in moderation, right? So, let’s pick up our phones a little less, go outside a lot more, breathe a little deeper, laugh a little louder, and find a happy new balance with regards to our diet. Do this and you will begin to chip away at many of the stressors that pummel us every day! Many of my best memories of Summer fun are linked to food... picnic lunches, carnivals, and BBQ’s – all with wonderful treats, from healthy local fruit, veggies, and crisp salads to the not-so- healthy hot dogs, french fries, milkshakes, and deep-fried Oreos. The difference was in those days, more things were organic! There was less hydrogenated oils and GMO’s to worry about. So, today, we need to be more aware of what is going in our bodies. Moderation really is the key. With what we now know about the detrimental effects of processed food and the prevalence of food allergies, maybe the Summer of 2022 is the time to make new and healthier memories that are equally delicious. Let swiig make it easy! We provide you with refreshing, flavorful, and nutrient-rich alternatives to junk food to keep your energy up for catching just one more wave or hitting the longer trail on the next hike. No bloated feeling, no afternoon sugar slump…just good food made for good Summer fun. Eat Well!
