24.01.2022 Happy Dietitians Day from our Nutrition Solutions team!

23.01.2022 Who said workplace presentations and training needed to be in person? We ran some great virtual presentations for our friends over at Timberlink last month running through topics for eating for your mental health, immunity and meal planning. We had participants from all across Australia and NZ, and it was great to see the amount of enthusiasm everyone had to show. If you're looking to organise some presentations for your workplace, or just want to know a little bit more, he...ad over to our website today. https://nutritionsolutionstas.com.au/

23.01.2022 At Nutrition Solutions, we're extremely passionate about making sure nutrition is accessible to everyone, no matter who they are. We've run workshops, demonstration and training for organisations from aged care homes to charities to help do our part to make sure everyone is armed with the tools they need for a balanced diet. Want to know more? Head over to our website today. https://nutritionsolutionstas.com.au/

20.01.2022 Options are important. Why? Because for many people in aged care facilities, a lack of options can make mealtimes a chore instead of a time for them to enjoy. Providing options allows residents to pick what visually appeals to them. This makes mealtimes something to look forward to. It creates a sense of independence which many residents fear they may lose. We know that isn’t the case, and we want everyone to know it too. Mealtimes provide an incredible opportunity to impro...ve social, emotional and physical wellbeing, so let's make the most of it. https://nutritionsolutionstas.com.au/

19.01.2022 You've probably heard the term 'eat the rainbow' but what does it really mean? When a lot of people probably hear that term, their mind instantly goes to the extravagant meals of food influencers and celebrity chefs we see in our social media feeds and on tv. Which can be off-putting for a lot of people, because let's be honest, for most people those meals aren't realistic. So how can we translate ‘eating the rainbow’ into something everyone can achieve in their day, without... breaking the bank? Making sure our meals feature 4-5 different colours is a really easy way to make sure we’re getting the nutritional variety we need every day. It could mean something as simple as a small salad with our Sunday roast or throwing some extra veggies into a stir-fry. Because as small as these changes might sound, they can make a pretty big difference. https://nutritionsolutionstas.com.au/contact-us/

17.01.2022 Here’s a quick shot from our project with Carers Tasmania. Stephen did cooking demonstrations in four different locations across Tasmania for carers, to help them learn the skills they need to cook easy healthy meals for their loved ones, or to teach the people they care for how to make healthy nutritious meals. This project was a great way to share our passion for helping our community. We’ll be sharing some of our favourite recipes from these sessions later this month so... keep an eye out! https://nutritionsolutionstas.com.au/services/

15.01.2022 We help elderly Tasmanians to maintain their independence.

It also means we can help them to navigate changes as they occur, so they can main...tain their quality of life and independence.

10.01.2022 Malnutrition is a major issue faced by the elderly, but it's so much more than just not eating. Malnutrition can be a result of residents not being able to finish portion sizes, lack of appetite, not being able to eat as a result of dysphagia or embarrassment to eat or even just something as simple as unappetising food. There are so many variables that lead to elderly malnutrition, but what can we do as service providers to fix that? Menu planning lies at the heart of the i...ssue. We need to plan menus which caters to the needs of every resident. From providing more meals with smaller portion sizes, texturally modified foods and food that is mean to be enjoyed just as much as it is nutritious.
