25.01.2022 Vitamin D is sometimes called the sunshine vitamin because it’s produced in your skin in response to sunlight. Make sure you are getting out at least once a day to maintain your vitamin D levels. #livelifecook #vitaminD #sunshine #healthylifestyle #healthlylife

20.01.2022 Make sure that you include at least one main hot meal per day. It doesn’t matter whether this is at the midday meal or in the evening. It is often the meal that will provide the most nourishment and variety. Homemade soup is a great way to increase your intake of vegetables and even protein and grains. A fantastic light meal to enjoy this Spring. Make a bulk amount and put some away in the freezer.
20.01.2022 FLUID THINKING As we get older we often don’t drink enough. You can become dehydrated, particularly when you’re out walking, playing golf or gardening. We need about two litres of fluid a day. You can get them by drinking water, tea and juices. Or from soups, fruit, custard, jelly or the milk on your cereal. Just remember to keep your fluids up. Especially when you’re active. .... . . Credit: Feed who you are.

19.01.2022 CINNAMON PREPARATION AND COOKING Fresh is best, for both health benefits and taste, so avoid buying in bulk. Add the sticks and powder to curries, poached fruit, chocolate dishes and baked goods. WHAT CAN I MAKE WITH IT? Spread toasted wholemeal bread with honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a quick snack. Cover couscous and currants in boiling vegetable stock and stir through a tsp of cinnamon. Stand for 35 minutes then fluff and toss through red onion, toasted almonds, chickpeas, parsley and olive oil.
19.01.2022 How clever is fruit? Not only does it grow into moreish, snackable sizes, it contains essential vitamins, fibre and minerals for a healthy life. Australian Dietary Guidelines recommend adults eat at least two different types of fruit a day. ... Have you had your two serves today?

17.01.2022 Great reasons why adding turmeric to your meals is so beneficial... . Turmeric: this root vegetable is absolutely adored in Indian culture, it's used in wedding traditions and has a large presence in Indian food. Globally it's known for its superfood properties, and these days you'll find people sipping on turmeric lattes?! So what's the craze? ... Turmeric is more than just a pretty colour in our curry or latte, it contains a compound called curcumin, which can have a natural anti-inflammatory effect and is a strong antioxidant. With some studies showing that curcumin may neutralise free radicals, protecting our bodies from damage, and stimulating our own bodies antioxidant defense. - Hence turmeric falling into the superfood category. So whether it's the gorgeous yellow you're looking for in a dish, or you want to include more superfoods in your diet, turmeric is a wonderful spice to have in your pantry, we certainly love it in ours.

11.01.2022 Dairy keeps you bowling along! As well as strong muscles, an active body needs healthy bones. And bones need calcium. Dairy foods are rich in calcium. By eating around four serves of dairy per day, you can maintain the sort of strong bones that will keep you living independently. You’ll also get a bonus serving of protein. You can get one serve of calcium from:... 1 cup cow’s milk or calcium fortified soy milk 200g tub yoghurt 2 slices of cheese 1/2 cup ricotta cheese You can also get your serve of calcium from: 75-80g salmon with bones 45g sardines (about 1-2 sardines) 100g almonds with skin . . .

11.01.2022 Make every mouthful count! It’s one of life’s ironies that just when we need more nutrients, we feel less like eating. But you can still get the most out of your food, and the most out of your day, by making every mouthful as nutritious as possible.... Skip the cake, biscuits, chocolate and deep fried foods. They might fill you up but they won’t give you what you need. Instead, choose meals or snacks made from meat, vegetables, fruit, milk, yoghurt, cheese, nuts and grains. You’ll soon notice how much better they make you feel. . . . Credit: Feed who you are. Better food and nutrition handbook (Aveo, John Casey, Julie Dundon NPA)
11.01.2022 HANDLE WITH CARE To look after your health, you need to look after your food too. That means cooking and storing it in the right way. After all, you don’t want to miss out on the fun things in life because of a dose of food poisoning. Make sure your food is cooked thoroughly, particularly meat, chicken, fish, eggs and milky desserts. Food should be stored in the refrigerator below 5 C. If you’re reheating food, it should heated to 60 C before eating.... . . . Credit: Feed who you are.

11.01.2022 Looking for a better alternative to some of your favourite foods? Evaporated milk is a healthier alternative to cream. It contains almost all the nutrients of milk, while keeping the same consistency and mouth feel of cream. Yum!
10.01.2022 Treat yourself occasionally, but don’t replace healthy foods with treats. Whilst it’s true that some of these treats may be unhealthy in large amounts, there’s nothing healthy about the mentality of constantly restricting ourselves of foods we love. #livelifecook #treatyourself #healthylifestyle #inmoderation #lovefood
09.01.2022 John's mantra is as more and more Australians are adding years to their lives, it’s our goal to add life to those years. One way to do this is to ensure that you eat a rainbow of different coloured fruits and vegetables daily. What are some of your favourite fruit and vegetable? #livelifecook #nutritional #tastyfood #healthy #fruit #vegetables #eatarainboweveryday
09.01.2022 THYME PREPARATION AND COOKING This aromatic herb is best used fresh to take advantage of its robust flavour. Like sage, thyme can withstand long cooking times, ...so a small amount is all it takes to flavour to a dish. Leaves may be removed from stems either by scraping with the back of a knife, or by pulling through the fingers or tines of a fork. Thyme retains its flavour on drying better than many other herbs. WHAT CAN I MAKE WITH IT? Thyme is a wonderful stuffing for chicken or lamb dishes. Alternatively, add to fish, tomatoes and lemon for a Mediterranean-style flavour.
07.01.2022 AVOCADOS WHAT CAN I MAKE WITH THEM? Not just the perfect accompaniment to toast, try mashing with cooked peas, garlic and lemon juice then tossing through penne with a good quality olive oil. Or simply slice in half, sprinkle with a little salt and eat with a spoon.... PREPARATION AND COOKING Speed up the ripening process by placing in a paper bag or next to a banana. Once cut, squeeze lemon juice on the flesh to prevent browning.

07.01.2022 FEEL MORE BUOYANT WITH BETTER FOOD Everybody’s muscles have a tendency to shrink as we get older. It’s just a fact of life. But it’s also a fact that you can rebuild your muscles and keep them strong with regular exercise and the right food. When we talk about muscles, we’re not just talking about being a Charles Atlas-style bodybuilder. (Although lifting a little weight is very good for older bodies.) We’re also talking about the muscles we need to walk freely, to stay bala...nced, and to move in everyday life. But whether you’re a bodybuilder or a billy-cart builder, your muscles need protein to keep working. So you need to eat protein-rich foods like meat, chicken, fish, eggs, legumes/beans,milk, cheese and yoghurt. You also need to eat protein throughout the whole day. So at breakfast, have a couple of eggs or baked beans, put some cheese on your toast, or add yoghurt to your cereal and milk. You’ll power through the day more easily. . . Credit: Feed who you are.

06.01.2022 Putting fibre in keeps you out and about. To function properly, you need plenty of the dietary fibre found in cereals, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and legumes. To increase your fibre intake,... you should try to: Eat wholemeal or wholegrain breads, brown rice, wholemeal noodles and pasta Eat wholegrain or whole wheat breakfast cereals and rolled oats Sprinkle chopped fresh or dried fruit, wheat germ or seeds on breakfast cereal Eat high-fibre snacks like fresh fruit, wholemeal bread or a wholegrain biscuit such as Ryvita or Vita-Weat When baking, substitute some wholemeal flour for white, or include dried or fresh fruit and vegetables such as grated carrots Use quick-cook rolled oats to bind rissoles or meatloaf Use processed oat bran or mashed beans as a thickener in soups or casseroles Eat whole fruit rather than drinking the juice Substitute some of the meat in stews, casseroles or mince dishes for cooked lentils, split peas, kidney beans or chickpeas, diced or grated vegetables Wherever possible leave the skins on fruit and vegetables Read nutrition information panels and choose foods containing the most fibre . . .

05.01.2022 SAFFRON PREPARATION AND COOKING The deeper the colour, the better the quality. Grind finely or steep threads in a little warm water for approximately 30 minutes. Add the threads and liquid in your dish towards the end of cooking. WHAT CAN I MAKE WITH IT? For buttered saffron rice, melt butter in a saucepan and stir through rice with a few threads of saffron. Add water, a pinch of salt and cook for 17 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.
05.01.2022 As we get older we often need fewer kilojoules because we are less active than when we were younger. However, we still need a similar amount of nutrients, sometimes more. This means our choices must be nutrient dense but not energy dense and we should be careful to choose discretionary foods only occasionally as these are higher in kilojoules.

01.01.2022 COUNT YOUR MEALS TOO To maintain your get-up-and-go, it’s important that you don’t skip meals. You need at least three meals per day. If you don’t feel like three big meals, try eating five or six smaller meals spread throughout the day. Think of it as topping up the tank.... There are also no rules about what you eat and when. If you feel like breakfast cereal for supper, then by all means, go right ahead and give yourself the fuel you need for your next outing. . . Credit: Feed who you are.
