Summer Snacking

We know an apple a day keeps the doctor away, we know blueberries are a superfood...read on for other refreshing, healthy snacks that also keep the calories away!

There is so much to take advantage of in the summer: longer days, great weather and nature's healthy snacks! Replacing processed, sugary snacks with fresh fruit
will start you on your path to a healthier lifestyle!

See the list below what certain summer fruits can do for you!

Apricots: Great for lung conditions and asthma; used to

help treat anemia due to their high copper and cobalt content.

Bananas: Help to lubricate the intestines, treat ulcers, detoxify the body and manage sugar cravings; are rich in potassium (which helps hypertension).

Cherries: Slightly warming in nature; increase overall body energy, remedy arthritis and rheumatism and are rich in iron, which improves the blood.

Grapefruits: Treat poor digestion, increase appetite during pregnancy, alleviate intestinal gas and reduce mucus conditions of the lungs.

Papayas: Tone the stomach, act as digestive aid, moisten the lungs and alleviate coughing.

Raspberries: Benefit the liver and kidneys, cleanse blood of toxins, regulate menstrual cycles, treat anemia and can promote labor at childbirth.

"Why are Smithtown teachers continuing to pay for school supplies out of their ownRead More pocket?" Since when? Ever see the big list of supplies kids get in their folders at the end of the year for them to bring in next year? I think you're talking about the wrong school district.
