24.01.2022 Legumes Underrated and often forgotten, legumes are a great nutrient-packed addition to a diet.

21.01.2022 As you may already know, iron is the most common micronutrient deficiency in the world, particularly among women. Here are some tips to increase iron absorption: - Drinking tea, coffee or wine between meals, rather than at meal times. The tannins in these drinks prevent iron being from being absorbed as well. - Eating vitamin C-containing foods such as fruits and vegetables at meals times. This will help your body to break down iron-containing foods for better absorption. - E...ating your meat and vegetables at the same time, because animal protein boosts iron absorption from plant sources. - Cooking vegetables to increase the amount of available non haem iron. - Avoid large amounts of dairy at main meals. High levels of calcium and phosphorus can reduce the absorption of iron from plant foods. https://dietitiansaustralia.org.au//nourishi/pumping-iron/ See more

15.01.2022 VITAMIN C Vitamin C, is a water-soluble vitamin well known for its role in supporting a healthy immune system. Because your body cannot make vitamin C, it must come from the foods you eat. Vitamin C helps heal wounds, maintain healthy bones, teeth, skin and cartilage, as well as being an antioxidant. ...

Sources of vitamin C include citrus fruits, tomatoes, potatoes, strawberries, green and red capsicum, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, rockmelon, kale and kiwifruit, amongst others.

12.01.2022 Do you eat oily fish such as salmon, tuna, trout or sardines? They are a great source of Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA), a type of healthy fat.

07.01.2022 Healthy fats include mono- and polyunsaturated fats such as avocado, nuts & seeds, plant-based oils, salmon and tuna. In your diet, aim to include a majority of vegetables, whole grains, fruits, low-fat dairy products, poultry, fish, legumes, nuts, seeds and vegetable oils. Limit intakes of sodium (salt), sweets, sugar sweetened beverages and red meats. Doing so means that your diet will be low in both saturated fats and trans fats. A diet high in these fats raise LDL (bad) cholesterol in your blood which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

05.01.2022 The science of weight loss and weight gain To maintain a stable bodyweight, energy intake must, over time equal to energy expenditure. Energy intake is the food that we eat, and energy expenditure can be exercise, digestion and your resting metabolism. An energy imbalance can occur when you consume fewer or more kilojoules (kJ)/calories (Cal) than your body requires resulting in weight loss or weight gain.... Your energy requirements may differ from your average person (8,700kJ as you may notice on the back of Australian food labels). Your requirements may differ for factors including gender, age, weight/height, illness/disease and physical activity level. The easiest way to calculate your energy requirements is to visit the Eat for Health website. https://www.eatforhealth.gov.au//daily-energy-requirements

02.01.2022 Delicious dinner recipe packed with protein, omega-3 and a variety of colourful vegetables. DUKKAH CRUSTED SALMON w/ ROASTED VEGETABLE SALAD (Serves 2) Ingredients:... Salmon: 2x 150g salmon fillets 100g wholemeal OR plain flour 1 egg (whisked) 3 tbs homemade dukkah OR Table of Plenty Lemon & Herb Dukkah with Almond (45g) (Coles or Woolworths) Salad: 1 60g rocket & baby spinach ($2 bag Coles) 1 medium sweet potato (dice 2cm thick) 1 250g packet Baby beetroot (cooked & ready to eat) (dice 2cm thick) 100g danish feta (crumbled) red onion (finely sliced) punnet cherry tomatoes (halved) Dressing: 4 tbs balsamic vinegar 2 tbs olive oil 1 tbs brown sugar Method: 1. Turn oven on to 180*C for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, dice sweet potatoes and beetroots and lay onto an oven tray. Season with olive oil, salt & pepper. Put in oven once hot and cook vegetables for 40 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, gather three separate bowls, pour flour into one bowl, whisk one egg into another and pour dukkah into the other. 3. Firstly, cover salmon in flour by pressing either side into the flour. Then put flour coated salmon into the egg mix coating the whole salmon. Then coat the salmon into the dukkah mix. (The flour allows the egg to stick to the salmon, and the egg allows the dukkah to stick to the salmon) Cook in oven for 25mins 4. Next, make the dressing. I simply combine ingredients in a mug and microwave for 15 seconds and stir. Place in fridge to cool until time of service 5. Meanwhile while you’re waiting for your salmon to cook, you may start to prepare the salad. In a bowl add the rocket & baby spinach, tomatoes, onion, feta, quinoa (cooked as per instructions), put aside in fridge until the roasted vegetables have cooled - once cooled add to salad 6. Pour dressing over salad at time of service and plate up your dish!

01.01.2022 March is Endometriosis Awareness Month And as it comes to an end, I wanted to shine a light and bring awareness to a condition that affects more than 11% of Australian women! So, what is it Endometriosis is a condition where tissue, similar to the tissue that lines the inside of your uterus (endometrium), grows outside of the uterus and on other parts of the body such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes or the pelvic cavity... With endometriosis, the tissue growing outside the uterus still acts like endometrial tissue would - it thickens, breaks down and bleeds every menstrual cycle, but in this case it can't exit the body and therefore becomes trapped. This causes inflammation and irritation to the surrounding tissue leading to pain and the formation of scar tissue What are the symptoms Painful/heavy periods Abdominal and/or pelvic pain Infertility or difficulty getting pregnant Pain during intercourse Pain with bowel movements or urinating Other signs include: fatigue, nausea, bloating especially around the time of menstruation
