(Note: NMP = Nutrition Month Post)
Because I work on a neurosciences unit, you might — and should – expect me to have extensive resources on nutrition and stroke. Yes and no. Because I work on an acute care neurosciences unit, once again I confess to having a surplus of articles on treatment topics (e.g., enteral feeding, dysphagia) but a rather sparse and dated collection on prevention. So I will use the impetus of Nutrition Month to update my inventory of online education materials.
I’m starting with the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada’s Web site. This month the home page highlights these nutrition features applicable to stroke-prevention as well as heart-health promotion:
- Heart-smart diet tips
- A new nutrition columnist: Alyssa Rolnick, a registered dietitian
- Heart-healthy choices in the new Canada’s Food Guide
Here are links to a few pages I’ve saved for future reference:
- One heart-smart change to your diet can make a big difference
- Current issue of the e-newsletter He@lthline
- Archived issues of He@lthline
- Canada’s new Food Guide heart healthier
