On Thursday 08 June 2017, Chinese Nurse Association Australia presented on the topic of “Nutrition” for the first time. We partnered with a nutritionist to introduce this topic to Nillumbik and Banyule Chinese Community Group to explain the symptoms and effects of osteoporosis for the senior community.
We delved into using food therapy to reduce symptoms, how to find the right ingredients when cooking and the proper nutritional intake. In addition, the talk also introduced ingredients that are bad for their health and how to avoid inappropriate intake of food.
It is satisfying that in the second half of 2017, with the support of professional nutritionist – Jois, Chinese Nurse Association Australia is able to bring more health related information to the Chinese community to help them better understand their bodies. This is to assist them with improving their health, symptoms of chronic diseases, and how to stop relying on drugs to control diseases.
For friends who are interested in our volunteer lectures or you are fond of a particular topic and would like to share this with the senior community, please send your resume to info@cnaai.org.au and we will be in contact
在2017年6月8日，澳洲華人護理協會首次與我們專業的營養師合作，一同在紐倫伴月華人社團舉辦營養學講課，為該組織的會員們講解老年骨質疏鬆的症狀及影響，並教導他們如何利用食物療法來減緩他們的症狀，從正確的食材中，攝取他們需要的營養素，另外，在講課中，觀眾也能了解哪些食材是對他們的健康是有壞處的，之後就能避免攝取不適當的食物。
很高興在2017下半年度，有專業營養師Jois的支持，讓我們澳洲華人護理協會可以將更多面向的健康議題帶進華人社區中，幫助他們懂得如何在生活中藉由攝取營養，來提高他們的健康，改善他們慢性疾病的症狀，當他們的症狀減輕，不再需要倚賴藥物來控制疾病時，他們的老年生活品質也就隨之增加了。
對於我們的志工講課項目有興趣的朋友們，如果您有任何健康專業知識想要與社區長者們分享，歡迎與我們澳洲華人護理協會聯繫，將您的履歷寄到我們的信箱中info@cnaai.org.au，我們會盡快與您聯絡，並和您商討新的講課主題。
