We are so grateful for the UAND grant to help us celebrate National Nutrition Month!\u00a0 Our goal this year was to inspire our fellow employees and visitors at our hospitals to Take a Bite Into A Healthy Lifestyle.\u00a0 We hosted nutrition fairs at 5 of our facilities \u2013 IMC, LDS, Alta View, Riverton and TOSH.\u00a0 Consequently we were able to involve many of our dietitians and reach a broad group of people.\u00a0 Our fairs included displays of nutrition foods, colorful fruits\/veggies, lots of handouts and ideas for healthy snacks, salads, breakfasts, info about our Nutrition Services, and most importantly featured Registered Dietitians as trusted nutrition professionals.<\/p>\n

Additionally, we held a prize drawing for those who completed a Nutrition Myth quiz.\u00a0 This turned out to be a great way to spark conversation and provide education on topics such as detoxes, coconut oil, cholesterol in eggs, sweetener choices and supplements.\u00a0 We were reminded how much the general public is influenced by nutrition misinformation, and how much dietitians are needed to interpret new products and research!<\/p>\n

During the whole month of March, we had NNM table tents in the caf\u00e9s at each hospital along with posters to draw attention and get people thinking about nutrition.\u00a0 We also published articles each week in the employee newsletter about National Nutrition Month, what a dietitian has to offer, and other nutrition topics.<\/p>\n

We always consider it a success when we are able to help others learn to make healthy choices, improve quality of life and enjoy food that is delicious and nutritious! <\/strong><\/p>\n
