World Water Day - EuHHAC Hydration Toolkit

World Water Day was celebrated on March 22nd, and the UN's message for 2024 wass 'Water for Peace'. As health and well-being advocates, dietitians understand water's critical role in maintaining a healthy body and preventing diseases.

Water is not just a beverage; it's a vital component for our bodies' normal functioning. That's why Increasing Healthy Hydration awareness has become a key element of our work.

In collaboration with experts, EFAD has launched the European Healthy Hydration Awareness Campaign (EuHHAC) to educate dietitians and health professionals about the importance of healthy hydration.

A recent initiative from EuHHAC is the Healthy Hydration Toolkit. Download it from the EFAD website and learn how to integrate healthy hydration discussions into your consultations in six easy steps, from assessment to follow-up ideas.

📣 #Survey Calling all dietitians and nutritionists teaching in Higher Education Institutes across the UK and Europe! Ulster University researchers, in partnership with EuHHAC, have developed a survey to assess the inclusion of "healthy hydration" content in the curriculum.

Low/no calorie sweeteners and their beneficial role in oral health - ISA Factsheet

Low/no calorie sweeteners are sweet-tasting food ingredients with no, or virtually no calories
that, contrary to sugars, cannot be fermented by oral bacteria and, therefore, do not
contribute to dental caries.
Consumption of foods/drinks containing low/ no calorie sweeteners instead of sugar may help maintain tooth mineralisation by decreasing mineral (calcium and phosphate) loss from
the enamel.
