25.01.2022 Just finished a very interesting short course with the University of Leeds, "Causes of human disease: Nutrition and environment", where they talked about the 5 cornerstones of nutrition. These cornerstones are fundamental aspects in regards to nutrition and health, and relativity easy to apply.

23.01.2022 Holiday season = Silly season- This time of the year there is an abundant of food, sweets and drinks. We quite often eat, and drink much more than we would throughout the year. So, here are some little advices to take onboard: IF you are concerned about your weight, eat smaller portions and plate on smaller plates DO like the Japanese, eat only till you are 80 percent full EAT like people around the Mediterranean, plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables and treats in smaller ...amounts and not every day INCREASE your exercise, now you got the time.Try to aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate activity per day RELAX- If your cortisol levels are up because your body has been on fight and flight mode for a long time, it can become resistant to insulin. High cortisol levels mean that you may get an increase in appetite and cravings for fat and sugary foods DON’T punish yourself because you have enjoyed too many chocolates and wine, after all its holiday time! MERRY CHRISTMAS! See more

22.01.2022 Cooking classes with children in ~Nambucca Valley OOSH and vacation care~. We have just finished five sessions in a cooking class program. The main aim was to teach basic cooking skills and healthy eating. We chopped, measured, stirred and cooked while we talked about how each food would affect our bodies. Now the kids have a great little recipe collection to take home and try out. Thanks for having me!

21.01.2022 Today I was invited to be with the kids at Lifetime Connect's and OOSH Nambucca Valley vacation care. We had so much fun, preparing healthy snacks and we did a quiz that team Cucumbers won . On the menu we had spiced roasted chickpeas, nori chips with garlic AND a banana and cinnamon smoothie. Some children were a bit skeptical about the food, BUT everyone tried it and many went for seconds and thirds! Thanks so much for having me Please visit the website for the recipe...s www.foodinfocusnutrition.com See more

20.01.2022 This is a very interesting article about fava beans and sustainable methods to increase protein and nutrients into our foods!

20.01.2022 The benefits of eating a diet high in fibre are many. To start with, a diet high in fibre will keep you fuller for longer, helps in aiding regular bowel movement and your gut microbiota feeds of fibre. Together with a varied diet, high in vegetables, fruits and legumes, fibre is helping in building the mucus barrier in our intestines. The mucus barrier is there to help fighting off pathogens and bacteria and to prevent many of them to leak into the body (which can be one of t...he causes of many chronic inflammatory diseases). There will always be some passing through (as you can see on the image), but there’s significantly less. 30g/day of fibre for an adult is recommended, think vegetables, oat and wheat bran, legumes, fruit, nuts etc. How much fibre do you get a day?

18.01.2022 Always had a love for chocolate coated marzipan. Today I enjoy the natural sweetness of dates with a small handful of almonds and a little piece of chocolate (70% or over). This little treat is packed with nutrients, such as potassium, magnesium, antioxidants, vitamins (E, B6, riboflavin) and dietary fibre to name a few. The treat is low GI and may help in blood sugar control, lowering blood pressure and increase HDL (good cholesterol) etc. If you don't like marzipan, just blend everything together and make bliss balls

17.01.2022 The Mediterranean diet is in the focus at the moment and it is not just another fad diet. The reasons for it being the preferred diet for all of us are many. It promotes wholesome affordable foods incl. Plenty of fruit, vegetables, nuts/seeds and legumes It includes lean protein in moderation such as fish, seafood, chicken and eggs It's a diet with little red meat in it (recommendation is a few small serves per month) Dairy and red wine in moderation ... Healthy fats such as olive oil, avocado and nuts Limited sweet intake It's associated with reduced risk of memory loss and dementia, reduced risk of stroke, diabetes and other vascular diseases and also known to reduce inflammation in the body It's not a restricted diet, but a lifestyle diet -It's A Way of Life! Get in touch today if you like to know more about the Mediterranean diet and what changes you can do to your lifestyle! See more

Thanks everyone for coming, and please let me know who didn't get a recipe with them home (got some left and can print out more

01.01.2022 Immune health- to stay physically strong under flu season you should look at getting your A B C D E Vitamin A: Maintains structure of the cells in the skin, respiratory tract and the gut. Eat: oily fish, egg yolks, nuts and seeds, carrots etc. Vitamin B6, B12 and folate: Helps in the first response when it has recognised a pathogen (germ, bacteria, virus). Eat: Legumes, whole grains, fruits, leafy greens, eggs, meat etc. Vitamin C+E: Fights the infection, they clean up th...e mess by producing specialised cells to mount an immune response. Eat: Citrus, berries, broccoli, nuts+seeds, leafy greens etc. Vitamin D: Helps some immune cells to destroy pathogens that cause infections. Eat: Fish, eggs, some fortified milks, and go for a walk in the sun This shows that eating a balanced diet works best. By eating a wide variety of veggies, fruit, nuts and seeds and lean protein as fish+seafood and eggs. This will also give you iron, zinc and selenium which helps in the immune responseas well!
