During our family yard sale last Saturday, I decided to pass out nutrition plans, pamphlets and small menu planners for adults and the kids. While my family was selling off our items, I was able to generate much conversation around these nutrition handouts. From old to young, many asked me where the the information came from and what it was about. I found myself diving into their personal diets and lifestyles just through conversation. I began to discover that this was an awesome idea! As more people need tools and items to help them achieve their health and nutrition goals, I realized that this was another way to get it into their hands.
Above is a picture of one of the menu planning tools I was given from the Dieticians of NS (Which I have passed along to the Maritime Wrestling Academy). These are essentials tools to carry around and give away to people. You can go online to teachnutrition.org today and register to have up to 100 packets of each item sent to your school, business or community. These as well as other items are totally free and can serve as an awesome resource to help kids, youth and adults. The plate menu allows you to check YOUR age category to see exactly how many servings of each food group you need daily.
There are also awesome recipe booklets.They break down how to make healthier summer smoothies and how to add more protein to your breakfast while also providing tips to help you make better food choices.I am glad to have paired with the Dieticians of NS to provide Nova Scotians young and old with some extra information and conversation to help them improve their diets and make nutrition more of a priority in their lives!
