🔑THURSDAY TIP

Research is mixed on whether using your non-dominant hand helps your brain be more nimble or creative.

But research is pretty clear: if you use the same hand all the time for your computer mouse at work, you raise your risk for developing carpal tunnel syndrome.

🐭This is why it can be helpful to switch up your “mousing” hand to your non-dominant side.

Do you ever switch up your “mouse” hand!? Let me know in the comments. 👇

🎉These fruity popsicles are a refreshing and healthy snack featuring this week’s food of the week, cantaloupe!

Experiment with the flavors in this recipe … just keep the proportions similar.

If you don’t have popsicle molds, no worries! You can use small paper cups or muffin/baking tins.

✅TIP: Tightly cover your DIY popsicle mold with foil and insert your stick through it to help hold the stick upright while the mixture freezes. To unmold, simply run your mold under warm water for a few seconds.

🍓Berry Cantaloupe Popsicles 🍓
(makes about 16 popsicles, depending on size)

- 1 small cantaloupe, cut into chunks
- 1 large seedless cucumber, peeled and cut into chunks
- Juice from 3 large lemons
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 cup (240 ml) cold water (as needed)
- 1 small bag of frozen berries (blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries)

Place the melon, cucumber, lemon juice, and honey in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Add water as needed to reach your desired consistency.

Fill your molds with the mixture about ¾ full, to give the popsicles room to expand as they freeze. Add a few berries to each mold and insert the sticks. Freeze for at least 4 hours. Yum!

⭐️When I think of CANTALOUPE ... I think of a fresh and delicious vacation breakfast.
How about you?

This orange melon, which is in the same plant family as pumpkins and watermelons, is packed with nutritional benefits.

Cantaloupe is loaded with the antioxidant beta-carotene (as much as carrots), which supports your immune system and helps maintain eye health.

One cup (160 grams) of ripe cantaloupe includes more than 70% of the daily value (DV) of vitamin C …

Which performs many functions in your body – from boosting your immune system to aiding in collagen production.

💪🏻Cantaloupe also is a great source of potassium, which helps regulate your heart, move your muscles, feed your cells, remove waste, and keep your blood pressure healthy by balancing out sodium in your system.

✅TIP: A cantaloupe is ripe when it feels heavy and is light yellow-orange in color, with little to no green.

Eat cantaloupe raw in smoothies or salads – or you can try grilling or roasting it and adding it to savory dishes.

👋WEEKLY CHALLENGE! 👋

Did you know that left-handers day is August 13?

Our challenge this week is to celebrate our southpaw friends by spending time working with our non-dominant hands.

Why? It’s a great way to build mindfulness.

It forces you to SLOW down and be more aware of what you’re doing in the moment.

Your challenge: every day this week, intentionally use your non-dominant hand.

Some ideas:
- Brush your teeth
- Open doors
- Clean your house
- Write in your journal
- Use your fork

Interestingly, a study in Australia found that using your non-dominant hand appears to be linked with improved self-control. (They had people using their non-dominant hand for two weeks straight.)

But for our challenge, try it for just a few minutes a day!
