Nutrition Tip of the Week

You’re Halfway There
We’re officially half way through 2009, making today a perfect time to check on the progress of those New Year’s resolutions you made six months ago. Have those good resolutions become good intentions you didn’t follow through on? If so, it’s not too late to get started.
Treat this time of year as New Year’s Part II. You can develop a plan for long-term health and fitness that starts with small daily changes.
For the remainder of the year and beyond, resolve to:
Set achievable goals
Aim for improved health
Keep track of your efforts by using food and exercise logs
Include plans to reward yourself when you accomplish a goal.
Talk to your physician about starting a fitness plan and to a registered dietitian about a nutrition plan that is right for you.

Each week our registered dieticians offer you tips for improving your nutritional health and eating habits. As new tips are added the past ones are moved to our More Nutrition Tips page.

Our dieticians both have degrees in Food Science and Human Nutrition and passed national board exams to become Registered Dieticians. They assess the nutritional needs of patients in Cascade Valley Hospital as well as our clinics.
