🚀 Launching From Tots to Teens - The Power of Nutrition in Early Years 🚀 🍉 Nutrition Tips for the Early Years sector 🍓 I'm always one for pushing myself out of my comfort zone and whilst I love creating my courses for MyCPDGroup there's a lot of comfort in recording alone and having the power to edit and start again if needed. I noticed Graham Tennant starting to promote LIVE events so I thought "I'll have some of that" Today I have created a live schedule of webinars to support YOU in the early years sector to navigate the complex and contradictory world of nutrition and to fully appreciate the importance of food in formative development. Each webinar is one hour - The Power Hour approach Topics Weaning, how, when, what and why? The impact of Ultra Processed Foods Oral Health in the early years Vegan Diets in the early years The impact of sugar in the very young All will be recorded so once registered you don't have to actually attend if you can't make the time. There's something much more interactive in a LIVE event - it's like very cheap consultancy for an hour! Take a look at the LIVE events section on MyCPDGroup link is in the comments If you have a limited CPD budget I have kept the price low, have bulk booking discount and if you want to chat about a 'Pick and Mix' of any of my CPD, live events and book packages please just drop me a message 😉 #webinar #liveevent #nutrition #cpd #online #training #learning #earlyyears #childhooddevelopment #nurserymanager #nurseryowner #ofsted #health #oralhealth #weaning

March is National Nutrition Month! This annual campaign encourages us to learn about how to make informed decisions about our food. Presented by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND), the theme for 2024 is, “Beyond the Table” focusing on the farm-to-fork aspect of nutrition. Meals and snacks are an important part of a healthy eating pattern, but have you ever thought “Beyond the Table”? Where is your food grown, or how has it been processed to get to your table? The choices we make affect not only our personal health, but also the health of our planet. Quick Tips to focus on the farm-to-fork aspect of nutrition: · Visit a farmer’s market to buy locally grown produce. · Buy produce that is in season in your area. · Start a garden �� many items can be grown indoors or in pots on a porch! · Get creative with leftovers to reduce food waste. · Shop with a grocery list to avoid over-buying. · Consider more plant-based meals and snacks. · Meet with a registered dietitian nutritionist. For more information on National Nutrition Month, free resources for you or your community, and how to get involved please visit: https://lnkd.in/gB5Czcpv #osp #nationalnutritionmonth

Nutrition is a vital component of our daily lives, and it plays a crucial role in every sector, from schools to healthcare, government to NGOs, and even the food industry. Nutritionists and dietitians are the backbone of these sectors, providing education, care plans, and smart solutions for food insecurity and malnutrition. Schools require nutrition education for students, healthcare requires nutrition care plans and services, individuals seek healthy disease-free bodies need nutritional therapy and plans, and governments require food security and safety assistance. NGOs require nutritional data collection, and restaurants and the food industry rely on nutritionists. If you're a nutritionist or dietitian, never underestimate your power or undervalue your role. Your expertise and knowledge are essential in creating a healthier and more sustainable future. Let's continue to work together to make a positive impact on the world!

Do you allow your child/children to make decisions in the grocery store? 🛒🍓🥦🥕 Incorporating children into the grocery shopping experience offers a unique avenue for cultivating healthy eating habits, supported by research in pediatric nutrition. Engaging youngsters in the selection of nutrient-dense foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, not only enhances their understanding of dietary choices but also fosters a positive dietary attitude (Golley, Corsini, Topping, & Morell, 2011). This involvement empowers children to develop a nuanced comprehension of food origins and nutritional significance, aligning with studies indicating that early exposure to diverse food options correlates with increased acceptance and consumption of fruits and vegetables (Coulthard & Blissett, 2009). Furthermore, this interactive approach encourages culinary exploration, facilitating the expansion of children's palates and promoting a varied, nutrient-rich diet (Lakkakula, Geaghan, Zanovec, Pierce, & Tuuri, 2011). By nurturing these foundational skills in nutritional decision-making, children can establish enduring patterns of healthy eating, thereby fostering optimal health outcomes throughout their lifespan (Sobal & Bisogni, 2009).
