2013 Supermarket RD Symposium
Oldways held its third annual Supermarket RD Symposium in Dallas February 27-March 1, organized by Barbara Ruhs, MS, RD, LDN of Bashas' Family of Stores and Oldways'
Georgia Orcutt. Forty-six supermarket RDs exchanged information with twenty sponsor companies on ways to work together for a healthier food supply. You can see news from the symposium, including most speaker presentations,
on the Oldways website.
Our two new March Toolkits are now posted and ready for your use, with a wealth of resources designed to help you immediately in your work. You'll be able to make
downloads from any of our kits as soon as you sign up for a free ONE account.
May is International Mediterranean Diet Month, a chance to focus on one of the world's healthiest-- and most delicious-- diets. The health benefits of the Med Diet
have been all over the news lately, so this is a great time to steer shoppers toward foods that are part of the Med Diet, to help them establish healthy, life-long eating habits -- in May or in any month!
Breakfast
101 (March 2013)
Starting the day with a good breakfast is essential. This kit includes information on eggs, juice, milk, whole grains, and other breakfast choices, as well as useful
health research, so you can inspire everyone to make breakfast a priority.
Nine Previous Toolkits Still Available to You
Our Supermarket Toolkits stay posted for a full twelve months. Here are our four most recent kits that you may want to check out, if you haven't already explored
them. Make sure to visit the
Access ONE Toolkits page whenever you need resources - we've probably got what you need.
April 3rd -- National Whole Grain Sampling Day -- is the perfect time for supermarkets to offer specials on whole grains, to hold nutrition classes, store tours,
or in-store cooking demos.
Making wise use of the household freezer can be an important step toward healthier, affordable eating. The resources in this kit help everyone understand the benefits
of frozen foods.
Heart
Healthy (January 2013)
Heart health is important year round, so we've put together resources on fish, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, soy and nuts - foods known for their heart healthiness.
African
Heritage and Health (January 2013) The true culinary heritage of African Americans is full of savory flavors and naturally healthy features. Learn more
and connect to other Oldways resources here.
