Happy Fourth of July from the Mississippi Diabetes Network! 🎆 As we celebrate Independence Day with family, friends, and fireworks, let's also take a moment to prioritize our health and well-being. Here are some tips to enjoy a fun and healthy holiday: 1. Smart Grilling: Opt for lean proteins like chicken, fish, or plant-based alternatives. Grilled vegetables make a delicious and nutritious addition to your meal. 2. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water, especially if you're spending time outdoors. Avoid sugary drinks and limit alcohol consumption. 3. Portion Control: Enjoy your favorite Fourth of July treats, but be mindful of portion sizes to help manage blood sugar levels. 4. Stay Active: Incorporate physical activities into your celebrations. A family walk or a game of frisbee can be a fun way to stay active. 5. Safe Fireworks: Ensure safety by following local guidelines and keeping a safe distance from fireworks. Supervise children at all times. Remember, managing diabetes is a daily commitment, and every step towards a healthier lifestyle counts. Have a wonderful and safe Fourth of July! Best wishes, The Mississippi Diabetes Network #diabetes #mississippi #fourthofjuly #healthymississippi #diabetesmanagement #insulin
