The class is meeting the last Wednesday of each month at 1 p.m. in the wellness center. The class has discussed general nutrition information including the guidelines Food Services has to follow with a “no added salt” diet. Cindy told participants which high sodium foods are best to avoid. She also has given the guidelines Food Services must follow for people following a “limited concentrated sweets” diet, as well as the guidelines of a diabetic diet, which is used to maintain stable blood sugars and potentially prevent health issues. Cindy talked about how the menu is made and what needs to be included in the menu to create a balanced diet. The next meeting will focus on personal preferences, including updating tray cards and diet holiday meals. These meetings are a great opportunity for residents to ask questions and we welcome everyone who would like to participate.
