19.01.2022 Melbourne’s stage 4 restriction has had an enormous impact on allied health professionals. Looking after everyone’s health has never been more important. I am currently offering zoom consultation but very much looking forward to be able to get back to ‘face to face’ consultations.

19.01.2022 We often follow dietary advice from our friends and family who have different genetic make up, body types, metabolism and physiological response and think it will work for you. When we don’t get the same results, it causes us to feel down and deflated and move on to the next new diet that is out there. It is super important to realise that you are totally UNIQUE and you need to eat the way it suits your body. ... We specialise in individual nutrition assessment taking into account the life stage, the environment, the genetic make up and cultural background. Genetic testing coming soon to the clinic, watch this space!

17.01.2022 basic yet often overlooked is hydration!

15.01.2022 Lentil masala soup Packed with fibre, protein and iron. I used freshly chopped tomatoes instead of can tomatoes and replaced spinach with kales. I forgot to get coriander which would have added more flavour but still turned out amazing. I love any dishes that has turmeric in it because of its anti inflammatory properties. ... Not only that turmeric is an: antioxidant, antiviral, antibacterial, anti fungal, anti microbial, anti cancer and neuro protective!!!! Stay tuned for turmeric drink to feature next

14.01.2022 Mixed bean salad with tuna Squeeze of lemon and the zest, parsley, sea salt and olive oil drizzled ! We limit intake if tuna to no more than once a week to minimise the exposure to mercury. Typically, canned tuna has lower level of mercury as they use smaller species for canning purpose. ... Excellent fish to eat that has lower mercury levels are known as ‘SMASH’; sardines mackerel anchovies salmon herring What are your favourite fish? Stay tuned for recipes coming up using SMASH fish and where best to source them.

11.01.2022 Cinnamon roll Swedish style known as ‘kanelbulle’! Love it when my daughter has a food tech assignment that benefits the whole family Making your favourite food (or any meals for that matter!) is a great way to learn about food. ... It teaches you so many things like what ingredients are used in a dish the effort it takes to make it how reading measurements correctly can be important compare the difference in taste and look with ‘ready made’ ones bring awareness to artificial colours and flavours used in process foods. the amount of sugar and butter that is used in baked goods appreciate those who cooks for you ( okay, I just added this as a bonus) When was the last time you cooked with your family member?

10.01.2022 When you can’t travel to the country to taste their authentic dish, you just have to make your own . Family favourite: Beef Rendang

09.01.2022 Coffee is my favourite drink! It makes me happy and I look forward to a perfect cup every morning. I do limit to one cup a day most days though as I feel the effect of caffeine if I have more than two. fact - caffeine is central nervous system (CNS) stimulant which means it increases alertness, attention, energy as well as blood pressure and heart rate. ... - research shows for a healthy adult, consuming up to 400mg of caffeine poses no health risk. An average latte contains about 100-280mg of caffeine in 250ml of cup. - caffeine affects everyone in a different way depending on their age, gender, health conditions, medications and body weight. - half life of caffeine is about 5 hours but can be up to 9 hours. This means that if you consume a cup of coffee at 8am, half of the caffeine is still in your system at 1pm. - if you suffer from anxiety, depression, insomnia, experiencing high stress or suffer from irregular heartbeat then it is a good idea to refrain from consuming caffeine. - remember that caffeine is not only in coffee but in drinks like energy drinks, sports drinks, teas and in chocolate . - caffeine is often used as a performance enhancer is sports, but there are so many variables to take into account such as your genetic predisposition on how you process caffeine, your gut response, your training status, your liver health, desensitisation period to name a few. (Will talk about this in depth in upcoming blog) - caffeine can reduce absorption of dietary and supplementary iron. So if you suspect you are low in iron it is a good idea to drink coffees and teas away from your meals (pregnant women, infants, adolescents and people with restrictive diet may be at risk of iron deficiency) Are you sensitive to caffeine? Do you know how much caffeine you are consuming everyday?

05.01.2022 Quinoa ‘keen-wah’ with marinated eggplants Quinoa is a great alternative grain to wheat, gluten free friendly! Originated in Peru and Bolivia It has a complete protein profile meaning it provides all the essential amino acids that the body cannot make but requires from the diet. ... This makes it a great plant based protein source. Quinoa has a nutty taste. I like to cook it with stock to make it taste more familier and flavoursome. Make sure to rince the quinoa to get rid of the bitter tasting coating prior to cooking! #healthylunch, #wheatalternative #quinoa, #completeprotein #glutenfree

01.01.2022 Always wanted to try cauliflower rice! cauliflower fried rice I pretty much use the same ingredients for a standard fried rice except substitute the rice with cauliflower. ... You can either grate the cauliflower or use the food processor to blitz into small pieces. 3 out of 5 family members didn’t even realise it wasn’t rice Cauliflower is much lower in calories compared to your standard rice. It is also part of cruciferous vegetables ( broccoli kale, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, bok choy) to name a few. Cruciferous vegetables contain indoles which are known to stimulate detoxifying enzymes in the liver and gut.
