00:04.840 --> 00:08.040
So your fist is a cup that's a serving

00:08.050 --> 00:10.106
commander , laura Crimmins job is to

00:10.106 --> 00:12.328
help keep people in good health . So at

00:12.328 --> 00:14.383
each meal you want to try and get at

00:14.383 --> 00:16.606
least three different food groups . But

00:16.606 --> 00:18.439
it's a job that takes her beyond

00:18.439 --> 00:20.661
hospitals to classrooms and auditoriums

00:20.661 --> 00:24.260
help educate people about their diet .

00:24.340 --> 00:26.396
Especially if they have some type of

00:26.396 --> 00:28.284
condition which the diet can be a

00:28.284 --> 00:30.118
helpful part of managing such as

00:30.118 --> 00:32.760
diabetes , heart disease , gout , high

00:32.760 --> 00:34.816
blood pressure , their diet complain

00:34.816 --> 00:37.038
important part of controlling that . So

00:37.038 --> 00:39.093
trying to educate them about what to

00:39.093 --> 00:41.204
choose when their food shopping , how

00:41.204 --> 00:43.260
to prepare foods , how to label read

00:43.260 --> 00:45.482
fiber can also help you lower your risk

00:45.482 --> 00:47.649
for heart disease . Today she's on the

00:47.649 --> 00:49.760
Hawaiian island of Kuwaiti , speaking

00:49.760 --> 00:49.690
with a group of senior citizens and

00:49.690 --> 00:52.730
this is for adults aged 51 older . A

00:52.730 --> 00:54.674
group that often has very specific

00:54.674 --> 00:56.452
nutrition needs . Usually older

00:56.452 --> 00:58.619
americans have lower calorie needs but

00:58.619 --> 01:00.341
still have high nutrient needs

01:00.341 --> 01:03.610
especially with calcium D . B . 12

01:04.310 --> 01:06.540
fiber . And so the quality of their

01:06.540 --> 01:09.410
diet is still important . If you buy

01:09.420 --> 01:12.060
chicken breasts frozen in the big bags ,

01:12.130 --> 01:14.130
what do they do ? They inject those

01:14.130 --> 01:16.241
with salt . So when you thaw them out

01:16.241 --> 01:18.463
and cook them , they're juicy , right ?

01:18.463 --> 01:20.686
Because salt attracts fluid . So you do

01:20.686 --> 01:22.463
have to be careful about that .

01:22.463 --> 01:24.630
Commander Graiman is part of a team of

01:24.630 --> 01:26.797

01:28.908 --> 01:31.241

01:31.241 --> 01:33.463
A mission to provide health care to the

01:33.463 --> 01:35.630
locals . But she says working in these

01:35.630 --> 01:37.797
conditions has been helpful for her as

01:37.797 --> 01:39.963
well . Being a dietitian in the Navy ,

01:39.963 --> 01:42.186
our people are on chips . So especially

01:42.186 --> 01:44.352
with us , we don't really get deployed

01:44.352 --> 01:46.630
to the field , like maybe the airports ,

01:46.630 --> 01:46.380
Army dieticians do so for us to come

01:46.380 --> 01:48.602
here and be more in a field condition .

01:48.602 --> 01:50.824
It is good training for us to have that

01:50.824 --> 01:52.769
commander grim unvisited two other
