24.01.2022 Diabetes type 2 is considered a lifestyle disease. What is actually happening in the body when someone develops this condition? Glucose is considered the energy of life. All cells in our body use glucose to produce energy. Insulin works to allow glucose into the cells. But our cells can become unresponsive to insulin and no longer take up glucose molecules. Glucose then accumulates in the bloodstream where will cause a lot of damage: damage to capillaries in the eyes, leading... to blindness; damage to blood vessels in the kidneys leading to kidney failure; damage to the capillaries on the feet, leading to amputation; increase in fat oxidation and plaques, leading to heart disease. All this may be happening SILENTLY OVERTIME or appear suddenly. By the time signs and symptoms become noticeable, a lot of accumulated damage may have happened. Simple actions like physical activity and dietary changes can reduce the risk. Your nutritionist can help optimize your diet and suggest functional foods and supplements to help improve insulin sensitivity, manage blood glucose efficiently and stop disease progression and reverse type 2 Diabetes.

24.01.2022 Beware of media, search engine and astroturfing manipulation of information, freedom censorship and the pushing of agendas when researching. It is becoming more difficult to research and find unbiased information, specially if you are using search engines like GOOGLE.

Pesquisas de estudos transversais e longitudinais demonstram uma relao entre a curta durao do sono (5 horas ou menos por noite), m qualidade do sono e aumento do risco em desenvolver obesidade, diabetes, hipertenso, doena cardiovascular, sndrome metablica e mortalidade precoce. A restrio de sono a curto prazo (4 h / noite durante por 1 semana n...um cenrio de laboratrio) demonstrou reduo da tolerncia glicose em indivduos saudveis estabelecida atravs do Teste de tolerncia glicose. Resultados de um estudo realizado usando modelo animal (cachorros) descobriu que dormir 5 horas por uma nica noite pode diminuir a sensibilidade insulina em 33 %. No dormir por uma noite tem os mesmos efeitos prejudiciais na sensibilidade insulina que 6 meses seguindo uma dieta alta em gordura. Quando o nosso corpo se torna menos sensvel insulina ou resistente insulina, necessrio produzir mais insulina para manter nveis estveis de acar no sangue e tambm leva a um aumento da deposio de gordura (ganho de peso). A resistncia insulina pode eventualmente levar ao Diabetes Tipo 2, uma doena associada a vrias complicaes graves, incluindo a doena cardaca. importante estabelecer uma boa rotina antes de ir dormir e aqui esto algumas dicas sobre higiene do sono para ajudar a melhorar a qualidade do sono: 1. Evite comer 2-3 horas antes de dormir. 2. Evite exerccio intenso noite 3. Evite telas (computador, celular, notebooks, tablet) por pelo menos 1-2 horas antes de ir para a cama.

19.01.2022 No matter how well we strive to live, every now and then we will get sick. I have been pretty knocked down for the last 2 days with a bout of Gastroenteritis. So, here comes green tea and SB probiotic to the rescue; as well as vitamin C, garlic, ginger, zinc and a lot of rest. I am not traveling at the moment, so this gastro has come as a surprise. My top health advice for all my clients no matter where they are traveling to in the world: the US, Europe, India or Bali, NEVER... travel without SB! How terrible it is to have your trip or holiday ruined by food poisoning. Off course we should always be selective with how we are sourcing our food. But knowing you are being proactive to minimize the risks of getting a stomach bug should also help you have a more enjoyable time and avoid excessive concern when traveling. And for anyone with school aged children or young children going to day care like me, I suggest always have it on hand in your cupboard for an emergency. SB stands for Saccharomyces boulardii, it is an amazing probiotic yeast variety that helps to put an end to a bout of gastro within 24-48 hours once symptoms develops. It also helps reestablish your gut flora health a lot faster after a course of antibiotics. When traveling SB should be taken as a prophylactic from 2-3 days before you leave and only stopped again 2-3 days after you are back home. #nutritionist #gastroenteritis #foodpoisoning #tips #travel #SB #probiotic #saccharomyces #holiday #nutrition #food

16.01.2022 Hello everyone, I have been absent for a while. But I promise I have been very busy getting ready to open my practice and I have many delicious recipes to share. The post today: 2019 National Nutrition Week is from 13-19 October. This initiative was created to raise awareness on the importance of food and nutrition to our health and wellbeing and encourage us to eat more whole foods. Whole foods are packed full with nutrients, phythochemicals and fibre which are important in... maintaining our tissues and cells functioning well. Some of the health benefits of consuming fruits and vegetables include: - Improved blood circulation and cardiovascular health - Lower cancer risk - Boost immune function - Better digestive health - Better eye sight - Improved blood sugar regulation and reduced diabetes risk. Do not limit yourself to the recommended 5 serves of veggies and 2 of fruit a day. Enjoy more whole foods from all food groups! Dont forget the nuts and seeds as amazing nutritious foods, rich in nutrients, mono unsaturated fats, omega 3 and fibre. Watch this space! I will lots of amazing info and delicious new recipes coming up soon! I wish an amazing nourishing week to all of you! See more

16.01.2022 Good health is not the mere absence of disease.Waking up each morning feeling energized, positive and ready for what life brings is a good indicator that our health is blooming. Clinical nutrition uses a holistic approach to health with an aim to achieve optimal wellbeing, where everything is functioning at the highest level possible. If you are not where you would like to be with your health, if you are lacking energy and stamina to get through the day, if you have health i...ssues, manage an illness or simply want to invest effort in being the best version of your beautiful self, I can help assess your health goals and support you in your health journey. This is a commitment that is full of rewards: more energy, vitality, awareness and understanding about ourselves and our health. I am available for nutrition consults on Wednesdays at Penguin Podiatry, Clontarf. See more

15.01.2022 2020 has begun and for many this is a time to reflect on the past years and set new years health resolutions. Many may feel discouraged if not everything has gone according to plan. We can start the year with very good intentions and excitement. Yet as life gets busy, we may start to lose the excitement and track with our goals. So, here are 4 strategies to help you keep on track as the year carries on: 1. Set realistic goals and build on them: set small lifestyle changes... that you can sustain long term. Set goals that you can fit into a busy schedule and make smaller incremental changes until they become habits. Some people are DREAMERS and others are DOERS! Think about HOW you will achieve your goals. You may be able to break them down into small and easy to manage steps. As an example, if your goal is to be healthy, think what does that look like for you. Think and write down the areas of your health you would like to improve such as nourishment, better sleep, more physical activity, balancing hormones, reduce stress and anxiety. Then list small changes you can make immediately and over the next few weeks, months and across the entire year that will help you to reach that goal. 2. Focus on the reason for your goal: find a compelling reason within yourself that will help you keep motivated and inspired to maintain the changes you are making. Its more likely that you will be successful if you find a reason that touches your heart instead of coming from self-judgment. 3. Prioritize yourself: its easy to let our caring hearts drive us to put everyone elses needs first. We need to look after our own needs, health and self-care. We need to communicate our self-worth to everyone around us and set up our boundaries. Its okay to say NO. You are only taking care of yourself whilst also taking care of those you love most. 4. Ask for and accept support: let others help you when you need assistance. Create the space for acceptance and you might be surprised to find out someone may have just been waiting for an opportunity to help you out. If your health challenges seem too great to manage on your own, seek the professional help you need. Our health is primordial because without it, we cannot manage much else. If you need a helping hand getting started on a transformational health journey, I have a nice surprise for you coming very soon. Stay tuned! It will be AMAZING! I wish you all a wonderful week! #clinicalnutritionist #wellness #nutritionalmedicine #nutrition #nutritionist #brisbanenutritionist #healthylife #hormonalbalance #cleaneating #wellbeing #PCOS #newyearsresolution #health #anxiety #depression #mentalhealth #redcliffenutritionist #stress #womenshealth #eatforlife #foodforlife #selfcare #healthcoach #selflove #selfworth #holism #fit #healthy #healthy2020 #2020

13.01.2022 Há uma grande preocupação com a ampla propagação da atual epidemia do coronavírus. Semelhante ao vírus do respriado comum, não há tratamento específico contra o coronavírus. O estado de saúde atual do nosso corpo é o que determina se um invasor patogênico conseguirá se estabelecer ou não. Para prevenir infecções em geral, precisamos maximizar a capacidade anti-oxidativa do nosso organismo e aumentar o nosso sistema imunológico para prevenir e minimizar os sintomas. Prevenção ...é melhor do que remediar! Alho e orégano são ervas com grande ação anti-vírus. Aqui estou listando alguns nutrientes que têm demonstrado reforçar o sistema imunológico e a capacidade antioxidante do organismo contra os vírus em doses recomendados para adultos (em combinação com uma alimentação saudável). As dosagens incluídas são para adultos; para as crianças a dose precisa ser reduzida em proporção ao peso corporal: Vitamina C: 3,000 mg por dia, em doses divididas (500-1000 mg por dose). Vitamina D3: 2,000 unidades internacionais diariamente. Tome com uma refeição, a vitamina D precisa de gordura para ser absorvida. Magnésio: 400 mg por dia (em citrato, malato, aminoácidos quelados) Zinco: 20 MG por dia Selênio: 100 mcg (microgramas) por dia #coronavírus #infecção #vírus #prevenção #vitaminac

Superfoods are nutrient dense wholefoods, these have high amounts of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fibre and other compounds such as polyphenols which have many health benefits. Although some foods have more nutrients than others, nearly every whole food can be called super when we look at their nutrient profile as a whole. The more variety we bring into our diet, the more benefits we will experience #superfood #nutrition #polyphenols #fibre #wholefood #nutrient #nutritionist

08.01.2022 We are in the peak of stone fruit season ! YUM! Today I am sharing my most loved and requested salad recipe for summer. This light and refreshing mango salad is simple but really delicious! My spicy mango salad goes really well with fish and seafood. I love to serve it with salmon or shrimps. The acidity of the apple cider vinegar helps to cut through the fatty salmon beautifully. But you can serve the salad by itself or accompanied with side vegetables. For the recipe and nutrition facts, just follow the link: https://leuzakyne.com.au/2019/12/04/spicy-mango-salad/

06.01.2022 There is great concern about the wide spread of the current coronavirus pandemic. Similar to the common cold, there is no specific treatment for coronaviruses. The environment in the hosts body determines whether a pathogenic invader can take hold or not. To prevent infections in general we need to maximize the bodys anti-oxidative capacity and boost our immune system to prevent and minimize symptoms. Prevention is better than cure! Garlic and oregano are herbs with powerf...ul anti-viral effects that we can use in our cooking regularly. Here are some nutrients that have shown to strengthen the immune system and the bodys antioxidant capacity against viruses at dosage levels recommended for adults (in conjunction with a healthy diet). Dosages listed are for adults; for children reduce these need to be reduced in proportion to body weight: Vitamin C: 3,000 milligrams daily, in divided doses (500-1000 milligrams per dose). Vitamin D3: 2,000 International Units daily. Taken with a meal, vitamin D needs fat to be absorbed. Magnesium: 400 mg daily (in citrate, malate, amino acid chelate forms) Zinc: 20 mg daily Selenium: 100 mcg (micrograms) daily #coronavirus #infection #virus #prevention #vitaminc

05.01.2022 Sleep is one of those areas of our daily routine that is quite often overlooked. Good sleep routine is essential for good health. Research from cross-sectional and longitudinal studies have demonstrated a link between short sleep duration (5 hrs or less), poor sleep quality and increased risk of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, the metabolic syndrome, and early mortality. Short-term sleep restriction (4 h/night for 1 week in a laboratory setting) demon...strated impaired glucose tolerance established by glucose tolerance test in healthy subjects. Results from a study done using a dog model found that sleeping 5 hrs for a single night can decrease insulin sensitivity by 33%. No sleep for one night has the same detrimental effects on insulin sensitivity as 6 months on a high fat diet. When our body becomes less sensitive to insulin or "insulin resistant", it needs to produce more insulin to maintain stable blood sugar levels and it leads to increased fat deposition (weight gain). Insulin resistance may eventually lead to Type 2 diabetes, a disease associated with a number of serious complications, including heart disease. It is important to establish a good sleep routine and here are a few tips on sleep hygiene to help improve sleep quality: 1. Avoid eating 2-3 hours before bed. 2. Avoid intense exercise at night time 3. Avoid screens for at least 1-2 hrs before going to bed. Use blue light blocking glasses at night while working on the computer or watching TV 4. Practice 5-10 min of a relaxation technique such as guided meditation and mindfulness or listening to soft music. There are many useful apps available such as: Calm, The meditation app, Breath, Stop Breath and Think among others. 5. Leave your phone out of the bedroom 6. Switch your wireless internet router off before going to bed.

03.01.2022 Whatever it is that you want to do/achieve/create, START TODAY! Sometimes its easier to find a reason to delay action, a reason to wait or a reason to postpone. Nothing will happen if we keep waiting for the right time. There is no right time, all you need is TIME, its up to you to decide whether its RIGHT or WRONG. We make the right moment

01.01.2022 What a difficult start to the year in #Australia with the devastation that has been caused by the #bush fires across the country. We are collectively hurting, and our hearts go out to those who have lost loved ones, livelihood and have been impacted in one way or another. We feel for the trees and the millions of living creatures who have lost their lives. The world is grieving deeply with us. Times like this heighten our bodys natural responses to stress creating tension an...Continue reading
