We hope your summer was filled with joy, laughter, and plenty of relaxation. As we step into September, it’s the perfect time to shift gears, prepare for the school season, and welcome the refreshing changes of fall.

There has been a lot of NOISE regarding oats in the media recently and I have certainly had many clients ask if they should stop eating oats as part of their morning routine! Negative claims that oats cause blood glucose levels to spike or should be avoided because they are “high in carbs” are some just claims or questions asked. We have also heard of the pesticide used on oats in the US.

As Registered Dietitians, your nutrition experts, we want to emphasize two critical aspects of men’s health: heart health and prostate health. Making consistent healthier dietary choices can play a significant role in preventing heart disease and supporting prostate function.

As we embrace the new month, we recall the timeless adage, “April showers bring May flowers.” While April mostly delivered showers, it fills us with hope for the imminent bloom of May’s blossoms. This month, we also honor Mother’s Day, extending our heartfelt appreciation to all moms. May your day be filled with joy alongside your loved ones.

As we step into April, we embark on a journey of advocacy and empowerment within our community. This month, our focus shines brightly on the critical issue of food security and the profound significance of imparting sound nutrition knowledge to our youth, particularly in light of the escalating prevalence of eating disorders among them.

Are you excited as we are for Spring to be around the corner? But this is not the only reason why we are super excited! March is Nutrition Month for Dietitians of Canada.
