health and sustainability reasons. This month’s Eat Right Live Well newsletter
discusses the benefits of incorporating more fish high in omega-3s into your
diet and which fish are the best choices. Find this month’s newsletter in your
café for more details.

27th – Melons are a superfood! They are a good source of vitamin C
and are a great choice during hot weather as melons can contain up to 94% water
and help us stay hydrated. Enjoy this superfood cut up or in dishes like
salads, parfaits and chutneys. Cantaloupe, honeydew, casaba, crenshaw or
watermelon – try one of these varieties in the café today!
