Open to everyone.
Come and meet Dietitian Sarah Todd and listen to her talk on Nutrition and then stay for a cuppa and a chat.
Sarah says -
This is an informal talk, where I hope you’ll feel comfortable to
ask questions and hopefully gain some insightful
information. Having spoken to the group previously on healthy
eating for lung health, I wanted this talk to provide some new
information.
I’ll be focusing on discussing the importance of protein, not
just purely for lung health but for overall healthy aging to
maintain muscle strength. As we age our requirements for this
vital nutrient change, it is also affected by chronic inflammation,
infections etc… often associated with long term
conditions. Protein has certainly been a ‘hot marketing topic’ over
recent years but I will be discussing healthy ways to achieve your
protein needs.
Following on I’ll be covering one or two further ‘hot topics’ in
Nutrition - including Ultra Processed Food (UPFs). This is
certainly a recent media hot topic, I aim to clarify and simplify
what it means and provide realistic recommendations.
As always there will be opportunity for questions.
I look forward to seeing many of you there and joining you for a
cup of tea.
