The COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to loss of a daily routine and disrupted healthy eating. For some children and adults with neuromuscular conditions, healthy eating and nutrition is important due to reduced ability to walk around (so less energy is burned off), or an increase in appetite (which may be a side effect of some medications e.g. steroids). Nutrition is an important aspect of the long-term management of neuromuscular disorders.
In this webinar, you will learn the:
(1) Best evidence to support healthy eating and nutrition for people affected by neuromuscular disorders.
(2) Best evidence to support use of supplements for people affected by neuromuscular disorders.
(3) Importance and ways to manage weight during COVID-19 pandemic.
(4) Practical strategies for eating well and keeping immune system strong during COVID-19 pandemic.
