Holiday eating tips from our dietitian @healthy_me.l! #Repost @healthy_me.l with @get_repost It certainly looks like December in Toronto today! So it’s a perfect time to start my weekly holiday tips! ... Tip #1: Maintain a regular eating pattern throughout the day, regardless of if there are more treats around, a large festive meal later etc. Eating regularly helps to keep our hunger at bay, prevent over eating & give our bodies the nutrients it needs to stay energized & healthy. It’s recommended to eat every 4-6 hours with a balance of protein, vegetables/fruit & whole grains. Including a holiday treat into this routine now & then is totally fine Stay tuned! Each Tues until Christmas I’ll be providing you with another holiday tip! #dietitiansofinstagram #holidaytips #holidayeating #festiveseason #consistency #balance #halfyourplate

Teamwork This has been a recurring theme for us lately, with all that has been going on. We’ve seen so many people come together on so many levels to help each other navigate the various issues that we’re facing. Therapists and patients have worked together to move to a virtual care model to continue therapy.... Our clinic staff have come together quickly and diligently to prepare for our reopening, helping to plan our policies and procedures to ensure everyone’s safety. Clinic owners from all across Canada have teamed up to navigate the impact that COVID-19 has had on our patients, staff, and businesses. (some great ones are tagged in this post) Health care professionals from all over the world have come together to speak out on issues of racism and educate each other on how we can be better allies in our personal and professional lives. We’ve never been more proud to be a part of the healthcare industry and hope to continue this teamwork with our staff, patients and colleagues going forward. Look for this in our content going forward as we collaborate with some great leaders in our industry and community!

It’s been so great to see our patients back in the clinic for the first few days! We wanted to let you know how we’re keeping everybody SAFER as we return to practice. We will explain our policies and procedures to patients before their appointments. Please let us know if you have any questions, we’re happy to help!
