The Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre has partnered with Sodexho to promote the “Your Health Your Way” (YHYW) Program. YHYW is Sodexho’s unique wellness program that caters to making healthy eating simple and delicious!

The program has been designed by leading professional dietitians and executive chefs who have combined the most reputable nutrition guidelines with a collection of delicious and satisfying menu offerings.

Top quality ingredients and cooking methods bring out the most flavour and nutrients.

The YHYW items share 3 main essential characteristics. They all taste great. They are power packed with essential nutrients with a combination of lean proteins, whole grains, vegetables, fruits and unsaturated fats. They all meet the Nutrition Recommendations for Canadians by following these YHYW criteria:
 

• Less than 30% calories from fat
• No more than 3 grams of saturated fat
• Less than 100 mg of cholesterol
• Less than 850 mg of Sodium
• Less than 600 calories and
• At least 3 grams of fibre

Each cafeteria station including the Grill, To Go station, Salad Bar and Deli Bar are “Health Certified”, meaning that each station offers at least one YHYW menu item each day.

How do you know which items are YHYW items? Just check out the menu in the cafeteria. Each “YHYW” item will have the Sodexho “YHYW” symbol beside it.

Remember: Healthy Eating is Enjoyable!
