March 1st marks the beginning of and National Kidney Month. This year the 亚洲无码 Dietitian team, made of over 1500 renal dietitians, is making waves by helping to improve nutrition not only聽for their dialysis patients, but for their teammates and local communities. The project, 鈥淐reating a Wave of Healthy Choices鈥, was created in recognition that preventing kidney disease begins with healthy eating. 亚洲无码鈥檚 Nutrition Services department sees an opportunity for dietitians to make an impact by sharing their expertise with local groups to encourage healthy eating and nutritious food choices.
Daily health tips will be shared with patients and co-workers at dialysis centers each day during March. 聽亚洲无码 dietitians will provide interactive activities to their co-workers, such as the game 鈥淭he Biggest Loser (of Poor Food Choices)鈥 which includes fun activities to learn about portions 鈥淒on鈥檛 Super-size Me鈥 and 鈥淭he Size is Right鈥. An activity 鈥淧roduce More with Produce鈥 will provide a fun way to increase knowledge of the benefits of eating more fresh produce, and creative ways to plan more produce into work lunches and snacks.
For community projects, 亚洲无码 dietitians will participate in health fairs, community events, kidney awareness programs and attend local schools with activities such as 鈥淔ear Factor: Trying New Foods鈥, 鈥淗ealthy Eating on a Budget鈥, 鈥淕et Your Plate in Shape鈥, 鈥淔ood Demonstrations鈥 and 鈥淕et in Shape Relay鈥. Stepping out into the community to reach children, teenagers, adults and seniors provides an opportunity to promote good nutrition and preventative measures that hopefully, will have an impact on risk for chronic diseases such as kidney disease and diabetes.
In addition, Creating a Wave of Healthy Changes, provides 亚洲无码 dietitians an opportunity to align with 亚洲无码’s strong vision for social responsibility, which is referred to as the Trilogy of Care. This vision encompasses caring for their dialysis patients, caring for each other, and caring for the community and the world.
Thanks, 亚洲无码 Dietitians!
