NutriKids Digest: November Edition ??

Hello NutriKids Families!

As we welcome November, we have so much to celebrate and learn together! This month, we’re focusing on healthy eating, gratitude, and important awareness days. Let’s dive in!

On this day, we honor Sir Frederick Banting, who co-discovered insulin. It’s a perfect time to learn more about diabetes and how to manage it effectively. Explore our latest blog posts to enhance your knowledge: Do You Know the Symptoms? and Beating Sugar Cravings with Diabetes.

?? Healthy Thanksgiving Tips

Thanksgiving has already passed for some of our teachers in Canada, celebrated on October 14, but our Teacher Randi is excited to celebrate with her family in the United States soon! Did you know that Canadian Thanksgiving is often more about the harvest season, while American Thanksgiving focuses on a historical feast?

As we approach this festive occasion, it’s a great time to make our meals a bit healthier! Here are some tips for a nutritious Thanksgiving:

• Opt for Whole Grains: Choose whole grain stuffing and rolls for added fiber.
• Add Veggies: Incorporate colorful vegetables into your dishes, like roasted Brussels sprouts or a vibrant green bean casserole.
• Healthy Sides: Replace sugary sides with healthier options, such as mashed sweet potatoes with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Let’s make this Thanksgiving delicious and nutritious!
