KEEPING COOL IN THE SUMMER!!!!
Summer is here and so is hot weather! Too much time in the heat can cause health problems,
especially in older adults. Lower your risk by:
Drinking plenty of liquids, such as water or fruit/vegetable juices. Stay away from drinks con-
taining alcohol or caffeine.
Keeping your house as cool as possible. Limit your use of the oven. Keep your shades, blinds, or
curtains closed during the hottest part of the day.
Spending time during mid-day some place that has air conditioning—for example, go to the
shopping mall, movies, library, senior center, or a friend’s house.
But, don’t let the heat stop you from exercising! Check out Go4Life for exercises you can do in-
doors.
Get more information about staying safe in hot weather.

Quick and Easy Baked Potato Salad
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds red potatoes
1 cup non-fat plain yogurt
1/3 cup minced onion
1/2 cup shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese
4 tablespoons snipped fresh chives
3 tablespoons real bacon bits or pieces
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Directions
1. Place whole potatoes (do not poke) into microwave-safe dish.
2. Cover dish. (If covering dish with plastic wrap, poke small hole in plastic).
3. Microwave on high for 10 to 12 minutes depending on strength of microwave.
4. Use oven mitts or a towel to remove dish from microwave; carefully remove cover from dish
due to steam build up and let cool.
5. Cut potatoes into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowel with remaining ingredients; stir
and mix well.

You can find this and many more delicious recipes at:
http://www.whatscooking.fns.usda.gov/
USDA United Sates Department of Agriculture website called MyPlate
The site breaks down the recipes into how many different fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins or the dairy your eating as well as giving information on the key nutrients as compared to your
average daily allowances.
Perfect for a picnic!!!
Recipe for August
If you love baked potatoes but associate them primarily with the colder winter months,
this Baked Potato Salad will fill that void come summer. With reduced-fat cheddar
cheese, chives and real bacon, you’ll feel like you’re eating a traditional baked potato in
a dish that’s just slightly more summer picnic-friendly. The best part? There’s no need
to fire up the oven when you have a microwave handy! If requiring a gluten-free recipe,
check the label of the indicated (*) recipe ingredients to ensure they are gluten-free.
