Lowndes County Extension Office - Delicata Squash

Nourish

Have you ever walked in the grocery store and looked at the oddly shaped winter squash and wondered “do people actually eat those?”  Most people think of winter squash as fall decorations, but they are edible and full of vitamins and minerals. 

Winter squash can look intimidating due to its color and rough-looking exterior. However, most winter squash has a sweet and buttery flavor. 

This vegetable is packed with vitamin A, B-vitamins, vitamin C, potassium, magnesium and is also a great source of fiber. 

Fiber-rich foods such as winter squash can help you feel less hungry and more satisfied throughout the day.  This may prevent overeating.

Walk

For today’s mile walk, the challenge is to switch things up. If you have been walking indoors this week, try exploring the outdoors. Have fun finding a new place to walk or a new starting point to your mile. If you have been walking on a running track, try going for a walk at a park. 

Make today’s mile walk fresh and new, so we continue to feel energized from walking .Share pictures in the comments!
