Back to School = Back to Routine!

Take advantage of the change to build in some healthy meal planning, start with one recipe a week using all (or mostly) things from your freezer & pantry. Stick with this and build up to three recipes a week for a long lasting habit 🚌✏️✂️🍽️

I second this call to cancel AISH clawback.

$200 would help those on AISH to purchase healthy food which is a basic human right that current AISH allowance does not provide.

This is unfair and not helping our most vulnerable people nor our society.

"Fatty fish, such as salmon and mackerel, are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA, which is crucial for brain function. Omega-3s have been shown to enhance learning, memory, and overall cognitive well-being.

Additionally, they may help mitigate Alzheimer’s disease risk, especially for those with high stress exposure. Aim to include fatty fish in your diet a couple of times a week."

To finish our series highlighting dietitians working in so many different areas, we wanted to focus on RDs providing nutrition care across the lifespan 👶🏫🏡

From the first bite to the golden years, Registered Dietitians support health at every stage of life! 🍼 In
neonatal care, RDs ensure premature babies receive proper nutrition.

🏫 In schools and communities, they promote healthy eating habits for growing minds.

🏡 In aging and continuing care, they prevent malnutrition and improve quality of life for older adults.

RDs play a vital role in every age group—because good nutrition is for life! 💚

Nutrition month is coming to an end, and we have been so excited to celebrate how dietitians are transforming healthcare! ✨

🔹 Bridging Gaps in Healthcare Access: In primary care, dietitians collaborate with doctors, nurses, and other providers to offer holistic, patient-centered care. In long-term care, they ensure residents get balanced nutrition and safe feeding. They’re also key in public health, running school nutrition programs and community wellness projects.

🔹 Supporting Healthcare System Efficiency: Dietitians help reduce the need for acute care through early nutrition interventions, preventing nutrition-related chronic diseases. Their clinical nutrition expertise speeds recovery after surgery or illness, promoting faster healing.

🔹 Improving Equity in Care: Dietitians advocate for better access to nutrition services for underserved communities, including Indigenous groups, newcomers, and low-income families. They work for extended benefit coverage, funding for long-term care, and improved school meal programs.

Dietitians are bridging gaps in healthcare access, boosting system efficiency, and improving equity in care. 💪🍏

So excited to see this amazing resource to support caregivers feeding loved ones who are sick!

Caring for someone with reduced ability to prepare meals or with reduced appetite and/or need for special diet is overwhelming, both on a practical and emotional level.

Canadian Registered Dietitian, Cath Morely, uses both personal and professional knowledge to address this important and often overlooked caregiving challenge in ~ No Love Like It, Feeding Someone Who is Sick ~ available in e-book and print format.
