Nutrition and Hydration week underway

Importance of eating and drinking well underlined

The importance of eating well is being highlighted as Nutrition and Hydration Week gets underway from today.

The annual campaign is being led by Island dieticians, who are promoting the benefits of wholesome food and plenty of fluids for all.

It comes in the wake of a recent study that found up to 30% of UK hospital patients are at risk of malnutrition.

The campaign is supported by the Department of Health and Social Care, as well as the Live At Home Scheme, who'll be hosting a series of talks this week.
