HOW THESE PLANS CAN BE USED AS A TEACHING TOOL FOR YOUR PATIENTS/ CLIENTS:
Maintaining a healthy diet is an important component of the care plan for a myriad of health concerns from Alzheimer’s to PMS. However, as a time-crunched health professional, there is no time to spend on teaching a patient how to transition into a healthier diet that is essential for their wellbeing. Eat Well Meal Plans provides the delicious, healthy meal plans and additional information about grocery shopping, healthy snacks, and other nutrition education right to their email inbox.
Meals are designed for the generally healthy population to use as a teaching tool to transition from a “poor” diet to a healthier one. Therefore, a patient needing to adapt a more healthful lifestyle to avoid nutrition-related disease will benefit greatly.
The Eat Well Meal Plans allow your patient to learn how to include more
fruits and vegetables, whole grains, seafood, lean meats, low fat dairy products,
and healthy fats originating from plant sources, containing omega-3 fatty acids.
Preparation methods are limited to the more healthful methods like baking,
broiling, steaming, grilling, poaching, etc. and will be translated into easy to
understand, quick instructions intended for weekday dinner meals.
The plans are not meant to be a substitute for medical nutrition therapy or
a diet for any nutrition-related disease. Please refer to a registered dietitian for
suggestions on how to adapt these plans for that purpose.
