25.01.2022 Interesting article.

17.01.2022 I just love this photo. It reminds me of my youngest son having his first ever taste of food other than milk. He was sooo happy to have a new food experience! ... But let's face it, getting our kids to eat their fruit and especially their vegies is not always such a positive experience (although most of my sons seemed to end up on his face ). I've been working with @bubsaustralia to bring nutrition tips to help those with little ones establish deliciously healthy eating. That is key for their growth and development, but also for their immune systems. Bubs Australia research found that most parents (51%) agree that fruit and vegetable intake and a balanced diet are amongst the most important factors in building their kid’s immunity... and that is spot on. Fruits and vegies provide key nutrients required by the immune system, including vitamin C, plant compounds and fibre that foster a healthy microbiome and that in turn is essential for an optimally functioning immune system. A few tips to help: kids do taste differently to adults and some veg can be more bitter. Try mixing stronger tasting veg with a sweeter veg like carrot or pumpkin, or add a little fruit. mix up how you serve the veg - some kids will prefer raw, crunchy and others softer cooked veg. Different textures can also work so vary as age appropriate. Nothing is wrong with including some purchased baby food pouches, especially for when out and about - just be sure to look for those with no added sugar or nasty additives. go Mediterranean and drizzle or cook veg in extra virgin olive oil. It makes veg tastier as well as boosting nutrition. give kids choice - 'would you like cucumber or cherry tomatoes in your lunch box?" They might just say both! be sneaky and grate, finely chop or mash vegies into pasta sauce, Bolognese, homemade sausage rolls, frittata or casseroles. keep a bowl of fruit on the kitchen bench to encourage kids to choose. don't give up - kids can take up to 20 times of trying a new food before they accept it. Try putting the new fruit or vegie in a meal of familiar, liked foods and encourage (not force) them to try.

14.01.2022 A journalist once asked me to name the best food products that have made healthy eating easier And here’s my 9 products to hit the market. They are (in order...): 1 Bagged salad leaves 2 Pre-cut pumpkin 3 Sachets that slow down the ripening of vegetables in the fridge 4 Single-serve sachets of rolled oats or wholegrain cereals 5 Authentic plain Greek yoghurt 6 Punnets of cherry tomatoes for snacking 7 Individual salmon fillets packed in two’s or four’s 8 (baby cucumbers) in a punnet for snacking 9 Home-delivered fresh vegetables I know there are others such as * Unsalted nuts in single serve packs * Nuts bars rather than muesli bars * Diced peeled fruit (one from my lazy hubby!) * Blueberries, raspberries and blackberries in smaller snack-sized punnets * Soft drink in small 250ml cans rather than the never-finish 375ml cans (like the airlines used to serve) But I feel these 9 are the ones that are the most recent and really help you. I’m not a fan of bags of salad greens as I often find them overly mushy or too wet But you have to admit they sure make a salad easy to pull together. No selecting leaves from whole lettuces! And all that waste! What do you think? Have I forgotten any food? #HealthyEating
