Nutrition Month is dedicated to the significance of nutrition and health. It seeks to educate individuals about the importance of making informed food choices, developing consistent eating habits, and undertaking regular physical activity.

The theme for the month, Nourish and Flourish, emphasizes the profound connections between food and overall well-being, highlighting the transformative role of nutrition in our lives.

Make the most of Nutrition Month by following the recommendations in Canada’s Food Guide, such as planning meals, cooking more often and involving your kids in the kitchen. Include physical activity along with your nutritious eating habits, helping you achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle. You can also subscribe to Canada’s Food Guide updates for health information and recipes to unlock the potential of food throughout the year. The Thunder Bay District Health Unit also has information, including resources for recipe sharing, stretching your food dollar and more.

Throughout the month, we will highlight the various professions in our Nutrition and Food Services department, showcasing the expertise and dedication of those who contribute to the well-being of our patients.
