It’s Fibroids Awareness Month and in this episode of Sweet Talk we discuss the links between SSBs and women’s health conditions like PMS, PCOS, fibroids, painful periods and other hormonal health issues with certified wellness coach, Davina Baptiste.
In this episode of Sweet Talk, we’re highlighting water as the healthy drink choice. Latoya Matthew-Duncan, the Nutrition Surveillance Coordinator at the Ministry of Health in St. Kitts, explains why water is so important for our health and nutrition. She shares some great tips on how to make water more flavourful so that everyone can be encouraged to choose water as the necessary and healthy drink alternative to sweetened beverages.
Welcome back to our podcast. After a long break, we’re back today with our new series Sweet Talk which is part of our new campaign, You’re Sweet Enough. Through this campaign we aim to promote healthy drinking by encouraging the public to drink more water and fewer sweet drinks.
Our series, Sweet Talk, will feature informative and interactive interviews with various guests who share views on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and discuss approaches to improving the health and wellbeing of our communities through healthy drinking and eating practices.
Today’s episode is an update on our episode 8 where we discussed the launch of the Healthy Caribbean Coalition’s childhood obesity prevention campaign. In this short episode we touch on the HCC’s success at the CARICOM Heads of Government meeting and give up an update on the HCC’s childhood obesity petition.
Today we provide an update on two upcoming events – our Chronic Disease Self-Management Course and our Fibroids Self-Care Webinar Series. We also talk briefly about changes to our podcast schedule.
Our volunteers are back with another episode in their childhood obesity series. Today, is a quick podcast with Marecia, Eurecia, Jorecia, Chris and Vikell sharing how they stay healthy.
