Page 14 A New Year, a New You Dietician’s Digest, vol. 1 From our dietitian, Christine Lacy New Year, New You!! Thinking of setting some health related goals for the New Year? Here are a few tips to get your New Year started right! • • Stay hydrated, preferably in the form of water. It's calorie free. Every living cell is made of water so in order for them to function best, they need to be topped off. Fluid also keeps our blood and GI system moving so that we circulate needed nutrients and dispose of those we don't need or that are harmful. Eat adequate protein. Protein is part of both the body's defense and repair mechanism against infection. Good sources of protein include: seafood, beef, poultry, eggs, beans and peas, nuts, and seeds. * Shoot for at least 5 servings a day of fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants and phytochemicals that help ward off illness and keep cells healthy. * Aim for 2-3 servings of dairy daily. This includes: milk, yogurt, cheese, and even ice cream! Intake of dairy is linked to helping build and maintain bone mass. BRAIN FITNESS TIP OF THE MONTH A good method of keeping an active mind is to refine your hand-eye coordination. For this, you can try picking up a new skill that requires motor skills. These skills include activities like knitting, painting, drawing, and assembling puzzles, to name a few! Looking Ahead Page 15 GLASS BLOWING AT THE GLASS SPOT At The Glass Spot, in the Fan, we will attend the ‘Blow Your Own Glass’ class and where we will learn how to blow glass and will walk away with our very own self– made drinking glass.
