25.01.2022 The warmer weather is here, so it's important to remember to stay hydrated! ? To stay hydrated, its important to drink before you feel... thirsty. This is especially important if you are exercising or if its a hot day. Even if youre not thirsty, try to drink water regularly throughout the day. You can tell if youre well hydrated by the colour of your urine. If its pale yellow or straw-coloured, then you are probably hydrated. If its darker, you need to drink more water. You can see the colour your urine should be on this urine colour chart but remember that taking some medicines or vitamin supplements can change the colour of your urine for a few hours. : always carrying a water bottle with you choosing water rather than tea, coffee or drinks that contain caffeine these make you go to the toilet more regularly and so make you more dehydrated keeping chilled water in the fridge on hot days flavouring water with lemon, strawberries or mint to add flavour always having water on the table when youre eating

23.01.2022 VEGETABLES and SALADS | Fresh salad bags are plentiful these days and can be a convenient way to have a side salad in the evening with enough leftovers available to create an easy lunch the next day. Fresh vegetables generally are going to taste better than frozen vegetables BUT the latter have the advantage of longer shelf life and because they are snap frozen and packed, they maintain good nutrition quality.... With the cooler months coming pick meals such as soups and casseroles where you can maximise vegetable content and save frozen leftovers for another day. By the end of the week leftover vegetables can go in an egg frittata which provides a high protein light meal option or a snack for the weekend. www.healthyfoodguide.com.au///august/leftover-veg-frittata

15.01.2022 Regular moderately intense activity is great for the lungs, and when you increase your daily activity you get three things done at once: healthy lungs, a healthier heart and a better mood. Aim for at least least 20-30 minutes of consistent, moderately intense movement daily, like a brisk walk or bike ride. #healthyheart #healthylungs

13.01.2022 A hearty nourishing soup of beef, tender pearl barley and plenty of vegetables. For the full recipe www.nutritionaustralia.org//beef-barley-and-vegetable-soup/... Try serving soup with a dollop of pesto or a grating of parmesan. Leftover soup freezes really well, so pour into plastic containers with tight fitting lids in individual portions and freeze for up to 3 months. Makes a great lunch to take to work or an easy dinner that can be reheated in minutes.

12.01.2022 While we all know cardiovascular exercise is great for weight loss, did you know that too much can actually sabotage your weight loss goals? Putting your body under too much stress raises cortisol (stress hormone), which means you won't be burning body fat while you're stressed (the same goes for mental stress too). So always make sure your exercise regime involves PLENTY of rest/recovery, resistance and strength work, stretching and good fuel!! And....learn to relaaaaaax!

08.01.2022 Hands up who indulged a little over the Easter break? At HealthyWeight Australia we don't believe in labelling food as "good" or "bad". Food is to be enjoyed! Once we label a food as "bad" we dramatically increase the likelihood of over eating or bingeing, because we feel guilty. So instead, don't deprive yourself of those easter goodies, just be mindful of portion sizing and enjoy every bite!

07.01.2022 NUTRITION and DIET- A message from Accredited Dietitian Timmy Chu Looking after your Nutrition can be difficult at the best of times but when the environment around us is changing and requires adjustments to our usual routines it is easy to fall into some bad habits. Longer hours being at home gives us opportunities to be eating out of boredom, procrastination and because of the pure convenience of the kitchen being 10 steps away. Combine this with the uncertainty and stress... going on it can also drive us toward emotional and comfort eating- Those hyperpalatable processed foods such as chocolates, cookies, ice-cream, crisps or fast food act on our brains signalling pathways which drive pleasure and reward. Just remember that you dont need to be perfect to achieve your health goals and during a time like this it is no different. Try and focus on doing most things well when it comes to healthful behaviours because making positive progress rather than perfection is key to sustaining successful outcomes in the long run. Here are 5 things you can put into place over the next few weeks and months to keep you and your nutrition on track. 1Focus on Wholefoods Think fresh fruit, vegetables and salads, dairy, high fibre wholegrains and unprocessed meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, nuts and legumes. These minimally processed foods are going to be abundant in key nutrients which forms the foundation of your regular eating pattern. 2Put a Plan in Place- A good shopping list before a trip to the supermarket will lead to a quicker and more efficient shop without the temptation for impulse buying. Include weekly family meals which are healthy and popular with everyone to include in the regular rotation. Look for new recipes online to also trial which will increase variety and keep it interesting, this is one of my favourites: (Healthy Food Guide link) https://www.healthyfoodguide.com.au/recipes 3Keep to a Routine- Working and studying from home means we lose our usual routine making it easy to miss meals or unnecessarily snack and graze. We are also likely to sit for longer periods of time too so make sure to schedule breaks for lunch, snacks and stretches. 4Stay social with food- Set up a Video/Zoom session with friends and family over a meal which can especially be helpful for those who might live alone themselves. If you have cooked a delicious meal in bulk spread the love by freezing a portion aside for a neighbour or family member. 5Be mindful with takeaway choices- We still need to support our local restaurants and food business doing it tough at the moment. Limiting fast food and choosing healthier options such as grilled chicken/seafood with salads, Mexican or Asian can give you a night off cooking and have something for the family to look forward to.

04.01.2022 How to Hit your Fruit and Vegetable Goals FRESH FRUIT- pick seasonal fruit as it is usually in abundance meaning it is cheaper and likely better quality. Right now, in Australia we are nearing the end of stone fruit season and expecting to see more kiwis, melons and citrus as the cooler months arrive. When planning your shopping list include enough variety which will last the week for example- berries will last a few days whereas apples and citrus will last closer to a w...eek. Pick some yellow bananas for now and green ones for later in the week and if you are left with spotty bananas these are perfect for homemade banana bread.
