Nutrition Week at Køge Health Center

As part of Malnutrition Awareness Week 2024, the Danish ONCA Team is excited to share the success of Nutrition Week at Køge Health Center, where we focused on the critical connection between malnutrition and training. Throughout the week, the team worked to raise awareness about the role of proper nutrition in optimizing the effectiveness of physical activity and recovery.

In the waiting area at Køge Health Center, nutritionists set up a booth offering tastings and valuable conversations with both citizens and relatives. This provided an opportunity to discuss the importance of balanced nutrition in supporting the body during exercise and rehabilitation. We were thrilled to see not only the patients and their families engaging in the discussion but also a strong interest from our colleagues, including physiotherapists and occupational therapists, who were eager to learn more about how nutrition can enhance the effects of training.

Key Highlights:

• Tastings & Informative Discussions: Nutritionists provided tastings of nutrient-rich products, along with expert guidance on how nutrition supports effective training and overall health.
• Collaboration Across Disciplines: The week saw active participation from various healthcare professionals, helping to promote a cross-disciplinary approach to nutritional care in training.
• Support from DSKE: Thanks to a generous scholarship from DSKE, we were able to create posters and flyers to spread the word about Nutrition Week, organize tastings, and offer fun prizes for a competition among the health center’s staff.

The success of Nutrition Week at Køge Health Center has been a fantastic step forward in raising awareness about the importance of nutrition in supporting training and rehabilitation efforts. We are grateful to all who participated and look forward to continuing our mission to fight malnutrition and improve health through better nutritional care.
