Jennifer Loughery, nurse at the Portage\nAtlantic rehabilitation centre, has implemented an awareness program on how\nstaying hydrated is important to overall good health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe youth were showing up in my office more and more frequently\nwith issues of constipation, fainting spells and just overall feeling unwell. A\nmajor issue that I noticed was that none of them were drinking enough water.\nWater is a basic building block to almost every cell in our bodies. When we do\nnot get enough water it\u2019s the equivalent to some bricks missing in the\nfoundation of our house.\u201d states Ms. Loughery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portage\nresidents learn the necessary tools so they can lead a positive and healthy\nlifestyle. With this in mind, Jennifer Loughery designed a program to prevent dehydration: \u201cIn a society that believes in the use of medication to get healthy,\nI wanted to get to the root of the problem and give these youth the best\npossible chance at a healthy lifestyle and this starts with being hydrated. Any\nresident that does not have a refillable water bottle can ask for one. Since\nstarting this health promotion, we handed out 25 water bottles and I am happy\nto report that we no longer have residents under medication for dehydration\nissues.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In support of this essential program, Mr. Al\nCunningham, a native of Sussex, New Brunswick, and Canadian Tire dealer in Nova\nScotia, generously made a donation of 300 water bottles. Portage Atlantic staff\nand youth say \u201cthank you\u201d to Mr. Cunningham and Canadian Tire for supporting\nthis important initiative!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
