  • Food First Advice for Adults with a Small Appetite 2021
    Food first Advice for adults with a small appetite Why have I received this handout? You may have a poor appetite or have been eating less due to feeling unwell. If you are not getting enough nutrition to meet your body’s needs you will lose weight and could be at risk of malnutrition. Malnutrition makes it more difficult for the body to fight illness and infection. It can make us feel weak, tired and low in mood. To treat malnutrition we need to increase the energy or calories, protein and overall nutrients that we eat and drink. This handout provides advice on increasing your intake using ordinary foods and by making simple changes to your meals, snacks and drinks. Although some of the foods and drinks in this leaflet may usually be considered unhealthy, they are recommended until your appetite and weight improve. These foods are energy-dense and can help to reduce your risk of malnutrition. If you have diabetes, it is preferable to fortify your food with protein and fats rather adding extra sugar or including more sugary foods. This will help to minimise the impact on your blood glucose levels. If you normally check your blood glucose levels and further to making these dietary changes find that they are higher than your target range, please contact your GP or diabetes nurse for advice regarding your diabetes management. Please read our food first diabetes leaflet for more information. Helpful tips 1 Try eating little and often. 2 Aim for 3 small meals and 2 to 3 snacks between meals.

  • Celtic Cornwall … Exploring Identity
    Celtic Cornwall (Exploring Identity) By Chris Dunkerley - Cornish Bard (Kevrenor), CyC Associate of the Institute of Cornish Studies, Cornish rep. to Celtic Council Of Australia (in NSW) Hon. Secretary of the Cornish Association of NSW INTRODUCTION CELTIC? CORNWALL? SOME ELEMENTS OF IDENTITY - Popular Consciousness - Constitution - History & Landscape - Mining - Language - Music, Song and Dance - Food - Some Customs - Gorseth KERNOW BYS VYKKEN ______________________________________________________________________________ Introduction Celtic Cornwall? Is this a title than can be given to my little ancestral land by the sea in north west Europe? There have been competing views about what constitutes Celtic Cornwall. As Amy Hale stated in an article; “During the course of the (Cornish) Revival too much time and energy has been spent justifying Cornwall’s Celticity!”…. One asks, why was there any doubt?” To which I am tempted to reply – ‘who cares? .. we know we are the Celtic Cornish so let’s get on with life!’ But given that you have probably come expecting a workshop on the very subject I had better restrain myself. In essence today I will seek to explore with you the dual nature of being Cornish - that of the context in which one exists, and a continuing Celtic identity which largely comes from within. Along the way I will heavily draw heavily on others who are more learned than me, look at some elements such as language, and we may also have some fun. It is worth looking first in depth at the two words that make up the title of this workshop. Celtic? Whenever and wherever the term Celtic is used, it seems to mean something different! There is part of me that says, ‘well that’s very Celtic’! I am sure we all hold a different picture in our minds.
