This course will discuss key topics related to nutrition and hydration tips and guidance, from hydration basics, to warning signs and more. This Nutrition & Hydration Course begins by explaining the main food groups, sources of essential nutrients and the impact of poor diet on health and wellbeing.
The course also covers the current national guidance on healthy eating and explains how different people may have different requirements to achieve a balanced diet. We look at how to plan and promote an appropriate balanced diet on an individual basis and also identifies potential barriers to healthy eating and how to promote healthy eating across different groups.
Delegates will learn about the importance of hydration, signs of dehydration and ways to support and promote hydration with individuals. This Nutrition & Hydration Course also touches on food fortification, the appropriate use of nutritional supplements, how to carry out nutritional screening and how to implement any remedial actions identified.
