Nutrition is described as the materials necessary (in the form of food) to support life. There is a belief, we as humans need more counselling on nutrition. This belief comes from the rising statistics of obesity, diabetes and our aging population. But informing these groups of the nutritional benefits of certain food types is not going to change the way nutrition is viewed. We must look past counselling and explorer different avenues of why and how we can all benefit from nutrition basics.According to Dr. Lynn McIntyre, Professor at the Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, low income, single women, sacrifice their own nutritional needs for the benefit of their children. Other studies also show that low income families in general, sacrifice their nutritional needs because of the cost of foods at grocery stores. Somehow, low income families are slowly associating fast food as an affordable way to feed their families. To correct this, we must change the view that nutritional food is expensive food. By showing families what types of inexpensive foods can offer the most nutrition will begin to change that view point. But how do we communicate this critical information?Interesting enough, there are a few ways that we can communicate our message that nutritional health is important. The first is through using “Duplication”. Duplication is the act of seeing and replicating what we have seen. Creating a “community” vegetable garden and selecting affordable, easy growing vegetables and providing basic recipes that use these vegetables would begin encouraging basic nutritional counselling without saying a word. By participating in these community gardens, people will begin duplicating this behaviour in their own family gardens. Providing recipes with seeds and instructions on how to grow these vegetables would certainly be one way to communicate this important message. It can also serve as an advertising tool to other sources of information such as websites and blogs.We know that parents will sacrifice their own nutritional needs for the sake of their children, but why? A high percentage is due to their limited income. Publishing blogs and twittering about the deals at grocery stores and markets to get the most affordable and nutritional food would certainly be a benefit. Providing families a list of places to go where nutritional foods are inexpensive would also help send the message. Even daily blogs on local market specials would help. Publishing these blogs in community forums setup by the YMCA or health forums or even health focused social medias like P90X on Facebook would help communicate this message.Recently, friends came over who seemed to be lost when it came to cooking. Providing some basics information on meats, fruits and vegetables can be a bit dry, but when mixed into a cooking lesson, nutritional counselling turned into a fun filled, memorable event. Whether the cooking course is provided in your house or in the house of others, the message can still be the same. Creating and showing the elderly in their own homes how to cook healthy and what nutritional foods to pick up would be a great benefit. Perhaps providing oversized, large text recipes would also be a great idea to promote nutritional eating without getting into why. The only reason is because it tastes good.With easy to read recipes, recipes and seeds delivered to communities to help market your blogs, blogs that provide tips and local deals at grocery stores and markets and marketing these blogs to all types of community forums and social media, the important message of nutrition and its benefits can be successfully communicate to all.
