Keep things light and refreshing by choosing smaller portions, staying hydrated and reaching for summer favorites like watermelon, cucumbers and other water-rich foods. 🍉🥒💧

A few simple swaps can help you enjoy the flavors of summer without the burn!

Fire up the grill—not the heartburn!

Summer cookouts can still be delicious without leaving you regretting what’s on your plate. A few reflux-friendly swaps—like choosing lean proteins, going easy on acidic condiments and spicy seasonings, and skipping carbonated drinks—can help you enjoy your BBQ favorites while being mindful of reflux triggers.

Everyone’s triggers can be different, so pay attention to what works best for you. Here’s to good food, great company and a summer with less burn! ☀️💙

August is National Wellness Month! 💙 Wellness doesn’t have to mean making huge changes overnight. Small, consistent choices can make a meaningful difference in how you feel each day.

- Choose foods that nourish your body
- Stay hydrated
- Find ways to move each day
- Make quality sleep a priority
- Give yourself time to rest and recharge

Whether you’re beginning your wellness journey or working toward long-term health goals, remember: progress starts one healthy choice at a time.

End-of-summer celebrations are the perfect time to fire up the grill and enjoy your favorite seasonal foods — but if you’re prone to heartburn, a few simple swaps can help keep the fun going without the discomfort!

🍽️ Build a heartburn-friendly plate with options like:
• Grilled chicken breast without spicy rubs or heavy BBQ sauce
• Turkey burgers on whole-grain buns with lettuce instead of tomatoes
• Grilled fish
• Corn on the cob
• Potato salad made with a lighter dressing
• Fresh fruits like watermelon, cantaloupe, bananas and blueberries
• Vegetable skewers with zucchini, mushrooms and yellow bell peppers

🔥 Common heartburn triggers to consider limiting include:
• Hot dogs and greasy hamburgers
• Spicy sausage and buffalo wings
• Heavy BBQ sauces
• Raw onions and lots of garlic
• Tomato-based dishes
• Citrus fruits and lemonade
• Chocolate desserts

How you eat can make a difference, too! Try smaller portions, avoid overeating and wait 2–3 hours after eating before lying down.

Enjoy the final celebrations of summer — without the burn! ☀️🍉

Start your day with a colorful boost! 🌈

A refreshing smoothie can be a quick and convenient breakfast or snack — even for the pickiest eaters! What you blend into your smoothie can make a big difference. Choosing ingredients packed with protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and water can help add nutrition, flavor and variety to your day.

One easy way to mix things up? Blend the rainbow! 🌈 Try adding fruits and veggies from different color groups:

❤️ Red: Raspberries, cherries, strawberries and beets
🧡 Orange: Mangos, oranges, peaches, carrots and cooked sweet potatoes
💛 Yellow: Bananas, pineapple and lemons
💚 Green: Kiwis, apples, spinach, cucumbers and avocados
💙 Blue: Blueberries, grapes and currants
💜 Indigo: Blue carrots and elderberries
