We have kicked off National Nutrition Month to “Put Your
Best Fork Forward” to both our residents and employees! For our first two
weeks, we have focused on the health and nutrition of our employees. We
provided an infused water station to promote hydration which included flavored
water with orange and cucumber-mint. Water
is always the best form of hydration – but infusing fruit and veggies to your
water provides flavor and even more nutritious benefits without the extra sugar
like in juice or pop!
For the second week
of National Nutrition Month we provided a homemade granola packet for employees
to promote whole grains. The granola included homemade granola, raisins,
peanuts or coconut, and chocolate chips. With homemade granola, you are able to
control the amount of added sugar, as well as knowing exactly what ingredients
are used! The homemade granola recipe was provided to employees.
We are proud to promote health and nutrition to our
community! Special thanks to the We Care Committee of Bay Medical Care Facility,
Heather Gillespie, and Kroger of Essexville for donations to provide these
special treats to employees! Much more to come as we finish out the month of
March!
