Enjoy a Fruit-Infused Fourth of July
Summer is the ideal time to let fruit take center stage, and the Fourth of July is certainly no exception.
(Family Features) As patriotic parties roll on throughout the day and fireworks light up the night, Fourth of July fun calls for favorite snacks that complement the excitement. Whether you’re a pyro or prefer to leave the fiery entertainment to the experts, one thing you can take charge of is the dessert table.
Summer is a perfect time to make fruit the star of the show, and Fourth of July is no exception. These special occasions can be uplifted with the aroma and flavor of Envy Apples, a leading apple variety that offers an invitation to guests to savor memorable moments together.
Their versatility makes them ideal for sweet treats like these Apple and Berry Cream Cheese Tarts for a patriotic touch with red, white and blue pops of color. These tasty bites are shareable, handheld and festive, making them a savvy solution that keeps entertaining simple.
Just combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla and milk, pipe onto baked tart shells and top with raspberries, blueberries and star-shaped apple cutouts. Better yet, you can even swap out raspberries for preferred red fruits like strawberries or cherries, if desired.
If all the planning and entertaining leaves you short on time, turn to these Patriotic Apple “Donuts” that swap out traditional dough for thick, round apple slices topped with cream cheese and sprinkles. With just a few ingredients, you can slice the apples then let little ones in on the fun by spreading the cream cheese and decorating with sprinkles.
The craveable texture and crunch of Envy Apples provides balanced sweetness for these favorite desserts and beyond, giving guests the ultimate apple experience for all your Fourth of July festivities. They’re an appealing backdrop for pops of red and white in patriotic recipes as their flesh remains whiter longer, even after cutting or slicing, so they look fresh and delicious throughout the holiday.

5 hábitos para ayudar a mantener la salud inmunológica
Para combatir la temporada de resfriados, adopte hábitos saludables como una dieta rica en frutas y verduras, ejercicio y buena higiene.
(Family Features) La temporada de resfriados y gripe ya está aquí. La mejor manera de combatir la temporada de resfriados y gripe es evitar contraer cualquier enfermedad. Si bien es imposible mantenerse completamente a salvo de los gérmenes, los resfriados y la tos, existen algunos hábitos saludables que puede incorporar para protegerse este año.
Junto con la orientación que reciba de su proveedor de atención médica, considere estas recomendaciones dietéticas y de estilo de vida para apoyar su sistema inmunológico de forma natural.
Comprométete a seguir una dieta más saludable: Es esencial para optimizar su sistema inmunológico, los expertos recomiendan llevar una dieta saludable que consista en más alimentos como frutas, verduras, nueces, semillas, legumbres y cereales integrales. Estos alimentos contienen compuestos a base de plantas que están relacionados con beneficios para la salud del cuerpo. Como ejemplo, tenemos las uvas frescas.
Los compuestos naturales de la uva, incluidos los antioxidantes y otros polifenoles, pueden ayudar a proteger la salud y el funcionamiento de las células. En lo fundamental, las células saludables son la base de una buena salud.
Hacer cambios simples, como elegir uvas frescas de California en lugar de bocadillos procesados o agregar uvas a sus recetas favoritas para darle un impulso saludable, son formas sabrosas de agregar estos compuestos beneficiosos.
Los estudios sugieren que algunos compuestos de la uva pueden influir positivamente en la función inmune, como el resveratrol y ciertos flavonoides. Otros estudios demuestran que agregar uvas que son saludables para el corazón a su dieta diaria puede ayudar a mantener la salud del cerebro, el colon y la piel. Las uvas también son una buena fuente de vitamina K, que puede ayudar a mantener la salud pulmonar. Incorpore a su dieta los beneficios de las uvas para la salud con una receta fácil y práctica como ensalada de col con uvas y coles de Bruselas, perfecta para comer sola o acompañar con su proteína favorita, como la pechuga de pollo asada.
Priorizar la higiene básica: Las prácticas preventivas pueden ayudarle a evitar los gérmenes, protegiéndose a sí mismo y a los demás al mismo tiempo. Lávese las manos frecuentemente con agua y jabón, limite el contacto con otras personas que puedan estar enfermas y cúbrase la nariz y la boca con un pañuelo desechable o con el codo al toser o estornudar.
Mantente activo: La temporada de resfriados y gripe coincide con temperaturas elevadas, lo que a menudo dificulta salir a hacer ejercicio. Encuentre una actividad que disfrute, como caminar de intensidad moderada, trotar, andar en bicicleta o practicar un deporte aeróbico. El “Journal of Sport and Health Science” informa que el ejercicio puede ayudar a mejorar la respuesta inmune y reducir la inflamación, lo que lo convierte en una forma clave de preparar el cuerpo para defenderse.
Hidratar, hidratar, hidratar: Mantenerse hidratado ayuda a su sistema inmunológico al mantener las defensas del cuerpo funcionando correctamente. Además de beber agua, puedes aumentar la hidratación comiendo alimentos con alto contenido de agua como las uvas, que contienen aproximadamente un 82% de agua.
Manejar el estrés: Puedes ayudar a controlar el estrés, que tiene un impacto negativo en la salud y el bienestar general, de varias maneras. Practique respiración profunda o meditación, participe en actividades y pasatiempos que le brinden alegría y desarrolle hábitos nocturnos que promuevan un buen sueño. Si come un bocadillo por la noche, elija alimentos como las uvas, que son una fuente natural de melatonina, un compuesto que ayuda a regular los ciclos del sueño. Hable con alguien en quien confíe, como un amigo, un familiar o un profesional de salud mental, para ayudar a aliviar el estrés.
