Food For Thought - the Podcast
The Healthiest Podcast on the Internet! We talk about all things Health Promotion, particularly as they relate to the CAF - in essence giving you a little "Food For Thought" on topics that range from stress, sleep, the impact of the built environment, how to be an HP Ambassador (even if that seems hard and somewhat terrifiying), we'll talk about inclusion and othering and why the latter needs to be avoided. We have conversations with different health and helping professionals and we even have some military members drop in with their insights. So if you are ready to get healthy(er) then pick an episode (short or long) and let's get started!
Food For Thought - the Podcast
Kicking the (Nicotine) Habit - with Capt Ian Pressé
April is all about the Dental Hygiene and celebrating and promoting Dental Hygienists. In 'studio' for this episode we have Capt Ian Pressé who shares with us the things we need to consider when it comes to our oral health, how we need to care for our gums and teeth and the surprising history of cigarettes and the military. We talk about the difficulties of quitting, and how some members find themselves being "smokers" in the first place and the different supports that are in place to try to help those looking to kick that habit find success - whether it's a first or a seventh attempt. If you or someone you know is considering giving up smoking, whether that's cigarettes, vaping, chewing, or nicotine pouches (maybe even cannabis) this episode might indeed give you some Food for Thought:)
