In today's Morning Edition local block from the KERA Newsroom: 

In this week's Vital Signs, Sam Baker talks with Parkland nutritionist Navin Hariprasad  about the benefits and drawbacks of juicing fresh fruits and vegetables. 

Also, we kick off our series, "The Voices of Freedom Summer," which remembers the bloody campaign 50 years ago to get blacks registered to vote in Mississippi. 

You can listen to the segment weekdays at 8:20 a.m. and 6:20 p.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.

Former KERA staffer Krystina Martinez was an assistant producer. She produced local content for Morning Edition and KERANews.org. She also produced The Friday Conversation, a weekly series of conversations with North Texas newsmakers. Krystina was also the backup newscaster for the Texas Standard.
