We like chicken tenders because they are just that—tender. And because of that, they’re less susceptible to drying out than breast meat if they’re overcooked. Try this healthy chicken tender recipe for a dinner your whole family will enjoy.

Greetings Nutz!!

In order to keep our bodies functioning properly we have to stay hydrated.  Although fruit juices contain Vitamin C and often seem like a healthy choice, many can be high in sugar.  Artificially flavored fruit drinks and mineral water, as well as energy drinks and soft drinks can all take a back seat to the best thrust quencher around, WATER!!!

Water contains no sugar and is a lot less expensive than other types of drinks.  For example, a 250ml cup of apple juice or cola contains up to six teaspoons of sugar. If you add it up: just one can of soft drink per day means you’re adding 18 kilos of sugar to your diet each year! 

Hints to help you drink more water

– Pack a water bottle whenever you go out

– During Summer, freeze a few water bottles to take with you

– Water down juices, sport drinks and other drinks

– Try putting a piece of fruit in your water to add some flavor 

– Always keep a bottle of cold water in the fridge in summer and drink warm water in winter

Water and Sports

– Staying well-hydrated when exercising or practicing helps your body function at its best

– Dehydration can cause headaches and fatigue, and make you feel cranky and affect your concentration

– Have a few mouthfuls of water during any breaks while playing games or sports

– After exercise or physical activity, drink plenty of water to make up for what you’ve lost in sweat
