Be Your Best Self

Most of us know what we need to do to be our best. Eating healthy, exercising, staying hydrated, and sleeping well are essential in our daily routines. When it comes to healthy eating, many Flight Attendants pack healthy food to take on trips. Many say that eating better means they ultimately feel better. We want to support this lifestyle habit by looking for ways we can all jump in and give it a go.

Eating fresh produce is linked to positive health outcomes by:

• regulating blood sugar
• improving digestion
• helping with healthy weight balance
• lowering the risk of cancer
• improving cardiovascular function
• and a positive effect on our overall physical and emotional health

What produce is now in season?

Seasonal Produce Guide

Flight Attendants suggest buying a wide variety of produce in season to get the best prices. Variety is the spice of life. Each vegetable and fruit has specific health benefits, such as aiding digestion, gut, and cardiovascular system. They contain vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, protein, fiber, amino acids, and other unique health benefits. Vegetable Nutritional Facts

Shopping for fresh fruits and vegetables using grocery apps can help find reasonable prices, and shopping for produce online can be surprisingly affordable. Best Places to Buy Produce Online

As Flight Attendants, we care for each other each day we go to work. We support each other and share ideas. We take time to connect. We also make sure to add some fun along the journey. Remember, it is always a beautiful day when you are healthy.

Be You. Be Strong. Be Your Best Self.

In Solidarity,
