Soluble fibre is a type of fibre found in grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables. I like to think of it as a heart health hero as it helps to prevent and manage high cholesterol. See below for some foods you could add to your diet to increase your soluble fibre intake. #Loblaws #Cholesterol #CholesterolLowering #HeartHealth #HeartHealthy As always, if you have any nutrition related questions, reach out to your local in-store dietitian for a free 15 minute phone chat! www.bookadietitian.ca

Do you struggle with quick lunch ideas while working from home? Try this filling salad formula: Layer on pre-washed leafy greens. Add pre-shredded chicken. You can pre-shred a store-bought rotisserie chicken. Add cut up fruit or veg of choice. In this salad, apples and strawberries were used. Top with a heart-healthy fat source, such as hemp hearts, avocado, or walnuts. ... Add your favourite dressing. My go-to is an equal mix of EVOO, maple syrup, dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar - i make a batch of this at the beginning of each week and store in a jam jar Optional items: fresh herbs for extra flavor, such as mint, basil, parsley, or cilantro. Home made croutons from your leftover whole grain bread (reach out if you want instructions how to do this). Want more speedy and healthy meal ideas?

Have you heard of Health at Every Size? Health at Every Size, or HAES, is an approach to health care that focuses on health behaviours rather than weight. This means that as a dietitian using a HAES approach, I value weight-inclusivity and diversity, and I focus on helping you pursue health without focusing on your body weight. This is an approach that is supported by the research and is aimed at empowering you to find the foods and movement that make you feel good. If you would like to learn more about my approach, please feel free to reach out! #employee #HAES #weightinclusive

Do busy mornings leave you feeling stressed and overwhelmed throughout the day? Ya, me too! One way I manage to prevent this is by planning breakfasts the night before. If you’re a fan of oatmeal, give this new twist on a classic breakfast a try! ... The show-stopper ingredient in this recipe is frozen fruit! I love having frozen fruit, like blueberries or a berry-blend, on hand as they are a great boost of fibre, vitamins, and antioxidants. You can even make this recipe on a Sunday and save the leftovers to help make busy mornings less busy . Check out the recipe here: https://www.presidentschoice.ca//power-fruit-breakfast-cru. I would love to hear your strategies for managing busy mornings! #employee #breakfast #antioxidants #recipe #oatmeal
