In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we have decided to arm you with the best tips for lowering your cancer risk.
- Avoid smoking and other smokers. Sometimes it’s unavoidable, but the less time you spend around cigarettes the less likely you are to develop lung cancer.
- Limit your alcohol intake. One too many can leave you prone to breast and colon cancer.
- Move for 30 minutes a day. This can really help keep you heart healthy and lower your cancer risk.
- Wear sunscreen everyday, no matter the season. Even during fall and winter you can be susceptible to skin cancer, so layer on that SPF!
- Be sure to drink lots of water! You can always grab a Cascade Ice Ultra Pure Water to keep you healthy and hydrated.
You can find more tips for lowering your cancer risk at Self.com.

It’s football season once again! Nothing is more fun than tailgating and watching your favorite team play (and hopefully win). It’s easy to get caught up in the moment and forget about your health. We have pulled together our best tips for staying healthy during football season.
Changing Weather
There is definitely a chill in the air, and most of us are celebrating the cooler weather. The best way to avoid getting sick is to stay warm and dry. Be sure to pack blankets, sweatshirts and hats in your tailgating bag. Always check the weather before you leave, because if it is supposed to rain be sure to pack a poncho!
Dining Choices
It’s pretty hard to resist the slew of choices you have during a tailgate. Ribs, barbecue and drinks galore! It’s okay to have one day a week that you can eat whatever you want, so use this as your day. Try to limit the amount of alcohol you consume, it’s packed with empty calories!
Remember to stay hydrated, pack your cooler with Cascade Ice Ultra Pure Water & 2-calorie Water. It’s a healthy alternative to all those sodas! You can even take some mixers to make low calorie cocktails (you can check out our recipes here).

Cascade Ice joined Young at Heart Dallas for the American Heart Association Heart Walk last Saturday.We were able to give walkers an opportunity to cool off and hydrate in the Texas heat!
Heart disease and stroke are top killers in the United States, and the Heart Walk helps raise funds and awareness for prevention. Through healthy living habits, and exercising for as little as 30 minutes a day, you can greatly reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke!
Cascade Ice is dedicated to promoting a healthy lifestyle. Our flavored waters have no sodium or sugar and are a heart healthier alternative to sodas and sports drinks.

It’s that time of year again! Youngsters are gearing up to go back to the classroom with that spiffy new lunchbox in tow. However, packing a healthy lunch can be a challenge, especially if you have a picky eater!
A recent study from the University of Texas at Austin has revealed that most packed lunches aren’t safe. Most parents do not included ice packs in their child’s lunchbox, and the ones who do don’t provide as much as they should. Even if your child’s perishable items (like yogurt, cheese and deli meats) stay cool, they most likely aren’t staying cold. This temperature difference can cause a breeding ground for germs and cause your child to come home sick.
There are easy steps you can take to preventing this. Put your child’s beverage in the freezer the night before, it will serve as a second ice pack. Refrigerate items that may not necessarily need it, like oranges. Once again, it will help keep the lunchbox cold. Also, make sure to purchase a well insulated lunchbox for your kiddo. Thin plastic and tin lunchboxes may be cheaper but aren’t nearly as healthy.
How do you keep your child’s food from spoiling between home and school? Which of these tips will you use this school year?
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we have decided to arm you with the best tips for lowering your cancer risk.
