Designed to support members and friends through these stressful COVID-19 times, the afternoon session highlighted simple steps we can all take to ensure we eat nutritionally balanced meals that provide the essential vitamins and minerals to keep us healthy. Through the engaging presentation with Simone, who drew on her 25+ years of experience as a dietician, we all enjoyed an insightful, engaging and helpful introductory session to The Healthiest You series.
Jason Sun of the ACHA put it in simple terms with his opening remarks “without health, you have nothing else” – highlighting the necessary awareness we must all have to maintain our nutritional wellbeing when working under stress.
