Health & Nutrition

You probably know that it's important to stay hydrated while working out or sweating. But do you know why? When we sweat, we aren't just losing water we're also losing electrolytes and important nutrients! 1 Liter of sweat contains 1,000mg of sodium, 2,000mg of chloride, 500mg of potassium, and 50mg of magnesium and calcium! When sweating, either from the heat or a workout, you want to try any consume something with the same electrolyte concentration.

Some tasty ways to stay hydrated:

• Mix coconut water with watermelon and salt
• Combine Powerade and LMNT
• Try mixing apple juice and liquid IV

Want to make sure you're keeping things safe in the kitchen? Here's some advice to help you out:

The Bring Your Own Cup program allows you to bring a clean and reusable cup or mug to participating locations and get a 10¢ discount on your drink. To assist in reducing single-use waste on campus, we're sweetening the deal with our BYOC promotion. Throughout the month of July, we'll be tabling outside of various locations that participate in BYOC to raise awareness! If you stop by one of these tables, you can enter to win a FREE Starbucks cup.

Keep an eye on our upcoming events in order to see when and where you can enter to win!

Plastic Free July is a global movement that encourages individuals to reduce their reliance on single-use plastics through small, achievable actions. Throughout July, participants are challenged to make more sustainable choices, such as using reusable bags, bottles, cups, and food containers. The campaign raises awareness about plastic pollution and empowers people to build long-term habits that reduce waste and support a healthier environment.
