Natural Nutrition
Event Information
About this Event
This is the first stand alone Natural Nutrition event ran by Pathfinders Neuromuscular Alliance. Eat, Drink, PEG is for those of us who have a neuromuscular condition and will focus on how you can find the right balance within your diet. Whether you can chew and swallow well, without further intervention, you have to blend certain foods due to chewing / swallowing difficulties or even if you have full intervention with eating i.e. being tube fed with a PEG or RIG - everyone is welcome! This event should be useful, no matter what stage you're at.
It's important to keep a healthy, balanced diet with foods that give you all of your daily nutrients, vitamins and minerals. This is all in order to keep your body a bit healthier and a bit happier. This webinar will be hosted by Nutritionist Christina Langley from The FA, who we are very pleased to welcome back. We look forward to hearing how she can help us all look after ourselves a little extra. She will also be joined by Pathfinders Volunteer Joe Kemp. Joe is kindly setting up a Facebook group, with blended recipes for people who have difficulties with chewing or swallowing.
Joe's group was one of the main inspirations for this event. We thought we could put an event together, to cover not only soft or blended recipes for those with swallowing issues, but for people who are fed via a feeding tube too. Not forgetting those of us who are still able to chew and swallow. Food can really make a difference to our overall health and our mental wellbeing too. If you have certain struggles or not, it doesn't matter, we can still find enjoyment in food. Please come along to what should be fantastic webinar!
