Registered Dietitians of Providence Memo
Sent on behalf of the Registered Dietitians of Providence....
Games! Nutrition Advice! Recipes! Prizes!
The Registered Dietitians of Providence have recently expanded their
site to offer staff and colleagues access to accurate yet fun
nutrition information. The site offers everything from a "Test Your
Nutrition IQ" section, to links for recipes, cookbooks, and nutrition
information, to an interactive nutrition advice column.
From the site you can quickly access many reputable online sources of
good nutrition information. The dietitians also post a practical "Tip
of the Month" and for those staff with specific questions, there is
the opportunity to send an email to "Bran Landers", who will answer
selected nutrition-related questions and post them to the site. A
variety of quizzes are available where you can test your nutrition IQ.
To kick things off, we're having an online Scavenger Hunt! Check out
the new Clinical Nutrition Website at
<<http://intranet.phc.ca/program_7072/index.htm>>, and find the
correct responses to the following Scavenger Hunt questionnaire:
1) What is the contact number for the Healthy Heart Program
dietitians?
2) Describe the "nutrition rule" that PHC dietitian, Linda
Watts, illustrates in her March, 2006 interview with the Vancouver
Courier. (Hint: Check out the "Media Relations" section)
3) According to "Bran Landers", why is it not safe for
elementary school students to drink a full can of Red Bull(r) Energy
Drink?
4) Which all-time favourite dessert is the topic of this
season's "Recipe Makeover"?
5) What is the name of the nutrition tool found on the home
page of the Osteoporosis Canada website link that you can use to
determine your typical daily calcium intake?
Send your answers to DietitiansWebsite@providencehealth.bc.ca by
November 8 and we will enter your name into a contest to win one of
several fun prizes. The draw will occur on November 9 and we will
contact all winners by email.
