Indiana Community Gifts Pizza Delivery Man A Car

An Indiana community is giving back to the man who has delivered pizzas with a smile for 31 years.   Robert Peters, known as Mr. Smiley around the town of Tipton, was gifted a new car after one customer decided to raise donations.  Tanner Langley, 28, a customer of the Tipton Pizza Hut said he and his family have been getting deliveries from Robert Peters since he was a child.

When Peters recently told him he was having trouble with his 28-year-old Oldsmobile, Langley decided it was time to thank Peters for the kindness he has shown the town over the years.  He started a GoFundMe campaign in hopes to buy him a new car. In just 2 days, with donations from the community, he surpassed the $12,000 goal, reaching over $18,000. 

“This community has a countless number of amazing citizens, but there are few people in this world that fill a room with smiles and happiness more than Robert Peters,” Langley wrote on the campaign’s website. “Robert has been delivering pizzas in the same car for a plethora of years, and I think it is about time that he gets an upgrade to his current vehicle!”

On Jan 11, Langley surprised Peters with a 2017 Chevy Malibu. The car’s registration, insurance and taxes were also covered and Peters was given a $500 gas card, plus a $2,500 thank-you tip from the neighborhood.  “He makes an impact on everybody and he’s a very kindhearted individual. Every time you see him, he has a smile on his face. He has never not been joyful”  Langley said in regards to the overwhelming support for Peters. 

Peters was overcome with gratitude for the generosity Langley and the community showed him.  He told news outlets it was heartwarming to know Langley and the community would go out of their way for him.  ” “I couldn’t believe it, it’s almost like it’s surreal.  I just hope that all those who made this happen will be blessed as much as they have blessed me,” Peters said. “This has really been an awesome experience that I’ll remember for the rest of my life. To me, me this is luxury. This is the first car I’ve had made in the 21st century.”

Staying Hydrated For A Healthier Summer 2018.

Healthy Living Logo

Summer is here and with it comes higher temperatures and an increased amount of time outdoors. 

 

Staying hydrated is an important part of being healthy and feeling good.  Our bodies need hydration to run properly and at optimal levels on a daily basis.  Every single cell in the human body needs water to function properly. We need water to regulate our temperature, to cushion and protect joints and organs and to help digestion move smoothly. Most of us drink at least some water every day, but now that it’s summer, it’s important to be more vigilant than ever.

Water Drinking At Appropriate Times Of Day

For many years, it’s been recommended that you drink eight 8ounce glasses of water every day.  That’s a daily total of 64 ounces daily.  While this may be an easy task for some, many people never seem to achieve this. 

Numerous reports over the years have stated that the old “eight 8 oz glasses a day” recommendation is an outdated myth.  The Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends men get roughly three liters (99 ounces) of total beverage intake every day, and women get 2.2 liters (70 ounces), while others say there’s no need to force water consumption if you’re not thirsty.

 

The more recent suggested intake levels include more than just water alone, it includes all fluid.  Coffee, tea, fruit juices, even sweetened beverages provide your body with more water,though the latter is not recommended for hydration purposes.  Even food adds to our fluid intake with about 20 percent of the average person’s water intake coming from food.  Foods with high water content such as watermelon and cucumbers give our water intake count a boost.  

Water Drinking In The Morning

While you don’t have to give up your iced coffee or sweet tea as a summer favorite, these shouldn’t be the only thing you drink.  One or two cups of coffee or tea will not dehydrate you but if it’s all that you drink throughout the day then it will lead to dehydration because of their diuretic effect.  So how much is too much?  More than 500 mg a day of caffeine will dehydrate you and your average coffee or tea contains 40 and 120 mg of caffeine, depending on the strength of the brew.

If you are exercising or planning to be outdoors in the sun, you will perspire and the need to replenish the lost fluid increases.  If you’re working out for less than an hour, drinking more water will do the trick. Anything over that, you should grab a sports drink that will help balance your electrolyte levels or eat something high in potassium like bananas, which will help balance your electrolyte levels.  You don’t deplete electrolyte and glycogen reserves until you’ve been exercising intensely for over an hour.  

 

Again, staying hydrated in the summer is especially important with the rising temperatures and increased activities.  You can still enjoy your favorite beverages as long as water is a primary source of hydration – So drink up!
