NATIONAL DETROIT-STYLE PIZZA DAY

Did someone say pizza? Of course we did! It’s June 23 and National Detroit-Style Pizza Day! Join us as we celebrate the birthplace of the American Automobile and Motown. This delicious food holiday recognizes the square-cut pizza style first served at Buddy’s Pizza in 1946 in the city that also gave the Mustang, and the first paved road. And Detroit-Style Pizza is arguably Detroit’s greatest contribution!

NATIONAL HYDRATION DAY

The games get intense under the hot summer sun and on June 23, and National Hydration Day reminds us to replace fluids lost in the heat of battle.

The human body contains more than 60 percent water. Maintaining that balance while training is a challenge. And doing it during the summer months is a practice that must be consistent. Becoming overheated or dehydrated can lead to heat stroke and possibly death.

You can help prevent dehydration by being hydrated before a workout even begins. This essential step goes a long way to a more effective workout. If you are under-hydrated before you start, maintaining or catching up on hydration becomes difficult once the sweating starts. Drink plenty of fluids throughout the training, too. Fluids can include sports drinks that contain electrolytes (Magnesium, Calcium, Sodium, and Potassium) to replenish the essential minerals the body loses through perspiration.

For some sports, products like FuelGard™ Mouthgard and Electrolyte Tablets, offer dual benefits. It protects the athlete and provides essential electrolytes for maintaining hydration balance while the athlete trains.

After the workout, you will need to continue replenishing fluids.
