Supermarket Visits- Promoting Healthy Food Choices

Supermarket visits continue in County Victoria.  Subsequent to their visit to Massy Stores, La Romaine in May, the multidisciplinary SWRHA team toured the JTA Supermarket at C3 Centre on June 3rd, 2019. The team, comprised Ms. Jochelle Mohammed, Registered Dietitian and two dietetic interns, Diabetic Educators- Mr. Raffick Mohammed and Ms. Merna Patrick Ryan and District Health Visitor, Ms. Erica Joseph-Christom. Members of the Ste. Madeleine Health Centre’s Senior Citizens Recreational Group also joined the tour through the supermarket. These visits to supermarkets are focused on educating persons, by imparting information centred on making healthy food choices when visiting the supermarket. As the group strolled through the lanes, the SWRHA team taught them to read food labels, select food substitutes, understand the health benefits of local fruits and vegetables and received nutrition advice on healthy eating practices. Since its commencement in County Victoria, the team has visited four supermarkets. Look out for their next Supermarket Visit at JTA Supermarket, C3 Centre on June 24th, 2019 at 9:00 a.m.
