Food and Nutrition
Food Committee Meeting Schedule Please come and meet the Food and Nutrition Team at our committee meeting. It is an opportunity to share your menu preferences and will help the Long Term Care Division develop the seasonal menu. Refreshments and light snacks will be served.
We do not only get nutrients from food. Water is an often-forgotten essential nutrient for the body. We can survive weeks without food, but we can only survive days without water. Drinking water quenches our thirst and helps regulate our body temperature. With rising temperatures, our bodies lose water quickly, increasing the risk of dehydration. Dehydration can leave us tired, light-headed, dizzy, irritable, nauseous, and constipated. Staying hydrated by drinking at least 8 glasses of fluids daily is essential. Good hydration helps our cardiovascular system deliver nutrients and oxygen to our cells and muscles. Drinking water has other benefits, including lubricating joints and aiding digestion. Water is crucial for good health. After all, the human body is 60% water!
