Seasonal Fruit – Berry Good Information!
President and Founder, Nada Cory, presented the second of three summer wellness workshops for The School District of Palm Beach County’s Wellness Champions. Under the direction of Carlye Fabrikant, MS, CWP, Wellness Coordinator for Risk & Benefits Management, employees participated in an engaging online workshop—one of many wellness programs offered during the workday.
This session focused on seasonal berries and melons, highlighting how to shop for, prepare, and enjoy these delicious fruits in simple, healthy ways for individuals and their families.
Participants learned that berries—including strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries—are packed with antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin C, which help support the immune system, promote heart health, and fight inflammation. Melons, such as watermelon and cantaloupe, are naturally hydrating and rich in vitamins A and C, potassium, and other nutrients that support healthy skin, eye health, and overall wellness.
Two "Cooking with Nada" videos demonstrated just how easy it is to incorporate these nutrient-rich fruits into everyday meals. Featured recipes included Seasonal Berry Breakfast and the refreshing Melon Cooler, both offering delicious ways to enjoy the flavors and health benefits of summer produce.
Of course, every Wellness Champions workshop includes a fun challenge! Participants are encouraged to create their own healthy recipes using seasonal fruits and share their creations with the group. We look forward to seeing the inspiration and creativity that this challenge brings.
