16.01.2022 This is one of my favourite recipes, particularly when it is really hot. Vietnamese rice paper rolls are delicious and can easily be made to suit vegetarians/vegans, those who are gluten free, dairy free or have another allergy/intolerance. This recipe is enough for 12 rice paper rolls. INGREDIENTS - 12 sheets of 22cm round rice paper... - A protein of your choice (tofu, chicken/beef/turkey/pork mince, cooked eggs) - 1 chilli, sliced finely - 3 cloves of garlic, minced - 2 tbsp soy sauce - 50g vermicelli noodles, cooked as per the packet directions - 6 lettuce leaves, sliced finely - 1 cup bean sprouts - 1-2 carrots, grated - Mint and coriander leaves RECIPE: 1. In a fry pan, add oil and the protein, garlic, chilli and soy sauce. Stir over the heat, until the protein is completely cooked and then set aside. 2. Boil water, and place in a wide, shallow container. 3. Soak one sheet of rice paper in the boiling water until soft. Transfer onto a plate and begin to assemble the rice paper roll. 4. Place small amounts of the protein, herbs, sprouts, carrot, lettuce and noodles in the middle of the rice paper sheet. 5. Roll the rice paper sheet, as described on the packet. Repeat steps 3-5 until you have made 12 rice paper rolls. Serve the rice paper rolls with your favourite sauces, a peanut or chilli sauce works well.

14.01.2022 WHAT IS MINDFUL EATING? Mindful eating is about applying mindfulness techniques to reach a state of full attention to your experiences, cravings, and physical cues when eating. HOW CAN IT HELP? It can help you distinguish between emotional and physical hunger. It also increases your awareness of food-related triggers and gives you the freedom to choose your response to them. Mindful eating may help people to lose weight, maintain a healthy weight and reduce food bingeing beha...viours. WHAT DOES MINDFUL EATING INVOLVE? The key principles of mindful eating include; - eating slowly and without distraction - listening to hunger cues and eating only until you’re full - noticing the colours, smells, sounds, textures and flavours of food - not judging food choices - eating to maintain overall health and well-being - appreciating the food and cooking/eating process If you would like to learn more about mindful eating and how to adopt some of these key principles, get in contact with us at bodyinbalancedietetics.com. #bodyinbalancedietetics #dietitian #darwin #NT #telehealth #nutritionist #diet #fitness #healthyeating #wellbeing #nutrition #health #mindfulness #mindfuleating #intuitiveeating #loveyourfood

14.01.2022 Vitamin D has an important role in supporting immune function, bone health and cognitive function (did you know low vitamin D is a risk factor of depression and anxiety?). Yet, many Australians aren't getting enough. HOW TO GET MORE VITAMIN D? 1) Sun exposure - incidental and planned outdoor physical activity is enough to boost your vitamin D. 2) Foods that are high in vitamin D include eggs, milk, fortified cereals and margarines and fatty fish like salmon or mackerel. 3) S...upplement capsules are also available. To learn more about vitamin D, get in contact with us at bodyinbalancedietetics.com or speak to a GP. #vitamind #bodyinbalancedietetics #dietitian #darwin #NT #telehealth #nutritionist #diet #fitness #healthyeating #wellbeing #nutrition #health

12.01.2022 WHAT IS THE MICROBIOME? Picture a tropical rainforest, where a diverse range of colourful plants, insects, birds and other animals live peacefully. Now imagine that on a microscopic level and that is the microbiome in action. The microbiome is the full array of microorganisms including bacteria, fungi and yeasts that live on and in humans. In a healthy person, these bugs coexist with the largest numbers found in the small and large intestines. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS TO HAV...ING A MICROBIOME? The microbiome is essential in promoting a healthy body. It can stimulate the immune system to help fight of infections, break down potentially toxic food compounds and create certain vitamins like the B vitamins and vitamin K. HOW CAN DIET SUPPORT THE MICROBIOME? Fibre feeds the microbiome and can influence the diversity of the "bugs" that live in the intestines. Fibre can be found in fruit, vegetables, wholegrain cereals/breads and legumes/nuts. To help meet your daily fibre targets, Dr Megan Rossi recommends we try for 30 different plant based foods each week...how many would you get on average? To learn more about fibre and looking after your gut health, get in contact at bodyinbalancedietetics.com. #guthealth #microbiome #fibre #IBS #gutbugs #prebiotics #bodyinbalancedietetics #dietitian #darwin #NT #telehealth #nutritionist #diet #fitness #healthyeating #wellbeing #nutrition #health

08.01.2022 Gluten can be confusing for many so let's break it down.... - Gluten is a general name for the proteins found in grains including wheat, rye, spelt and barley. - Gluten can be found in many types of foods, even ones that would not be expected like sauces, spice mixes and ice cream. - Gluten free diets are followed by many for perceived health benefits, however there is little evidence to say a gluten free diet is healthier than a regular healthy varied diet. - If you are som...eone with a diagnosis of coeliac disease, non-coeliac gluten sensitivity, wheat allergy or fructan intolerance a gluten free diet is essential in avoiding GI symptoms and reactions to the gluten. If you notice sensitivities to gluten, or want to learn more speak to your GP or get in contact with us at bodyinbalancedietetics.com. #bodyinbalancedietetics #dietitian #darwin #NT #telehealth #nutritionist #diet #fitness #healthyeating #wellbeing #nutrition #health #gluten #glutenfree #coeliacdisease
