8 DIVISION NUTRITION TIP OF THE WEEK Nutrition Tip of the Week CPT Kelly Kaim-MS, RD, CSSD Division Dietitian 7/13-7/19 Include Healthy Snacks between Meals Healthy snacks can sustain your energy levels and keep your metabolism firing. Generally, when we go a long time without eating between meals our next meal is much larger in portion and we tend to make poorer food choices. We also burn calories every time we eat to digest our food so eating smaller more frequent meals instead of a few large meals can burn more calories throughout the day. Pairing protein and carbohydrates for snacks can help stabilize blood sugar levels, prevent fatigue, and satisfy your hunger better than just having carbohydrates.

TBI STUDY The Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center (DVBIC) research team on Fort Carson is actively recruiting for a new TBI non-drug treatment study. The purpose of the study is to see if adding a new type of brain training can help people who have had a concussion with symptoms such as memory, concentration, and emotional regulation. Study participation involves an intensive program of up to 20 treatments over six weeks and is non-invasive with minimal risks expected. We are looking for TRICARE eligible service members and veterans between the ages of 18 and 50 who have had a mild to moderate TBI within the past five years, and are still experiencing symptoms. If you would like to learn more, please contact Candace Hill, RN at the Warrior Recovery Center at candace.a.hill2.ctr@mail.mil or (719) to schedule a screening. **This is for informational purposes only.
