24.01.2022 It is world iron awareness week! 40% of women aged 14-18 are iron deficient and 38% of women aged 19-50 are iron deficient. Women in this age bracket have the h...ighest iron requirement per day 18mg/day which can be difficult to achieve for some. Has iron deficiency or overload been an issue for you? This graphic shows how 18mg of iron can be achieved in a day, keep an eye out for our blog on iron deficiency and overload in the next few days.

22.01.2022 Discretionary foods are foods that do not fit into the 5 core food groups. They are often energy dense and nutrient poor but can be included as part of a health...y balanced diet.... A serving is a standardised amount of food. The serving sizes above are recommended serves for discretionary foods in the Australian dietary guidelines. One ‘serve’ of a discretionary food as per the dietary guidelines provides approximately 600kJ or 142 calories. You can see the options I have selected are slightly higher than 142 calories per serve. A portion size is the amount a person CHOOSES to eat. This could depend on the individual and/or their energy requirements. Our food environment now plays a big role in the portions we consume. I’ve shown standard portion sizes I have observed over the last few months in clinic and with family and friends. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, more than one third of Australians energy intake comes from discretionary foods, with 98.3% of Australians (both children and adults) consuming on average 34.6% of their daily energy intake from discretionary foods choices.. It is interesting seeing what the recommended serves are visually! I was a bit shocked myself. For example our ice cream scoop provides what the guidelines recommend with one scoop rather than 2!! Do you know what the recommendation for discretionary foods are per week? #caloriedeficit #healthyhabits #healthytips #carbsarelife #flexiblediet #nutritioncoach #caloriecontrol #allfoodsfit #macros #healthychoice #nutritionist #eatsmart #diettips #dietitian #perthblogger #vsgeats #calorie #healthyeatinghabits #nutrientdense #weightlossideas #healthydessert #balanceddiet #nutritiontips #justeatrealfood #balancednotclean #ketodiet #notadiet #factsnotfear #weightlosstips #nutritionfacts

19.01.2022 Beetroots have rarely been listed on typical superfood lists, but that is all likely to change. Recent research has shown that this beautifully vibrant purple r...oot vegetable can significantly lower your blood pressure. Beetroots are one of the best sources of dietary nitrates. These are converted to nitric oxide in the body, which in turn helps to relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure. Beetroots are also an excellent source of folate with a medium sized root (80g) providing 25% of the RDI for women. Folate is essential for protecting DNA from oxidative damage through our lifespan, and for creating healthy new cells. You'll also a good dose of fibre with almost 3g per beetroot and all for only 130kJ and 6g of carbohydrate. Beetroots contain a special group of phytonutrients called betalains - in particular two called betanin and vulgaxanthin. These are responsible for the fabulous colour, but they have also been studied for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant power. They also seem to boost the detoxification processes in the body. All up they are a pretty worthwhile addition to your diet! One little thing to note. Some of you - an estimated 10-14% - may find that your urine has a pink hue after eating beetroots. This is called beeturia and although it is harmless it is more common in those with iron deficiency. It may be that you simply ate a lot of beetroots! So don't panic if it happens, but it just might be worth a check of your iron status.

19.01.2022 Study looking at the use of metformin tablets in treating type 1 diabetes mellitus, being conducted at the Garvan Institute at Darlinghurst. Volunteers are bein...g sought. The study is looking for people with: - Type 1 diabetes - Age 20-50 - Disease duration > 10 years - HbA1c < 9.5% - Non-smokers What’s involved: Taking metformin (or placebo) tablets for 6 months. Visiting the Garvan Institute (4 visits total - 2 visits before, and 2 after taking 6 months of medication). This includes an insulin clamp (where volunteers are given IV insulin and we assess the body’s response). Blood tests, body composition scan (testing body fat percentage), liver scan The study leader Dr Jennifer Snaith can be emailed she will then get in touch to share more info [email protected] Link to video about the trial https://youtu.be/7uZlUx5O6eg

17.01.2022 Good Morning, attached is a DRAFT list of Health Care Providers for the Central Coast.

13.01.2022 I have posted this image before on a previous post as the second image...but it really needed to be its own post. I wanted to discuss the issue around the huge ...amounts of ultra processed foods that are being created to provide ‘nutrients’. Have you got any other examples to share? The nutrient here is fibre. It’s in the name. Which is where it usually always is. Thanks food marketing! The fibre one bar (24g) provides fibre via the addition of chicory root extract (the first Ingredient - a manufactured source of fibre). I didn’t want to to list the number of ingredients for this product (it is long) as being a bad thing because having a longer ingredients list isn’t ALWAYS a bad thing. I did however want to point out the level of food processing! You don’t need to get fibre from cake to make it a better option. It won’t be. It is still highly processed and most likely not 100% satisfying...taste is subjective though so I’ll leave that up to you. Focus on getting fibre from foods that NATURALLY provide fibre like fruit, vegetables and whole grains. Stop over complicating nutrition! #caloriedeficit #healthyhabits #healthytips #healthydessert #flexiblediet #nutritioncoach #caloriecontrol #allfoodsfit #macros #healthychoice #nutritionist #eatsmart #diettips #dietitian #perthblogger #mealprep #calorie #sugarfree #nutrientdense #weightlossideas #refinedsugarfree #balanceddiet #nutritiontips #justeatrealfood #balancednotclean #guiltfree #notadiet #factsnotfear #weightlosstips #nutritionfacts

13.01.2022 Good health is holistic. It encompasses everything we are .

12.01.2022 Portion distortion refers to the growing portion sizes that people call 'normal'. A portion is the amount of food that you choose to eat for a meal, or a snac...k, whereas a serving is a measured amount of food or fluid, such as a slice of bread. Many foods that come packaged as a single portion actually contain multiple servings! The Australian Dietary Guidelines recommends limiting our consumption of discretionary foods. According to the guidelines, a serve of a discretionary food provides about 500-600 kilojoules (119-143 calories). All the portions on the right (except the muffin) meet the criteria for 1 serving of a discretionary food. However the muffin on the right is still a far more reasonable serving size in comparison to the muffin on left. The muffin on the left is the equivalent of ~ 5 serves of discretionary foods. It is recommended that the average adult should limit their intake of discretionary foods to a maximum of one serve per day! (keeping in mind that this recommendation is for a healthy adult that exercises for 30 mins most days at a moderate intensity). It is important to be aware of ‘portion distortion’ and serving size recommendations for our individual needs DAY to DAY. You don’t get much out of being told ‘all foods fit’ without understanding how they fit into a balanced diet. In our super-sized world, having some idea around serving size recommendations isn’t a bad idea - especially if these foods are an everyday occurrence, our research definitely indicates they sure are!

09.01.2022 #Cherries are a super food. Did you know that their glycemic index is only 22?* A serving of 14 cherries counts as one of your "five a day". Cherries are known ...as brain food. They can help prevent memory loss. Cherries are a good source of fiber that is important for digestive health. Research by the British Journal of Nutrition found that cherry juice may help reduce blood pressure due to its high polyphenol content. Cherries are an excellent source of beta-carotene. In fact, they contain 19 times more beta-carotene than blueberries and strawberries. They are rich in vitamins C, E, potassium, magnesium, iron, folic acid and fiber^. *https://bit.ly/3kAxRxN ^https://bit.ly/31RmaLw

06.01.2022 Very important information . Omega 3s are needed for many important body functions and help prevent inflammation.

05.01.2022 Remember when we were all scared to eat nuts because we thought they had too much fat and too many kilojoules? Boy did we get that one wrong. Today we understan...d a lot more about how food impacts our appetite, how much we food and the effects on health. Yes almonds are rich in fat, but it's the good stuff being mostly monounsaturated fat. Plus, this is the biggie. The kilojoules (or Calories) listed on the pack are not in fact how many kilojoules we get. Because of the physical structure of nuts, we can't get to all the fat and some of it passes straight through to end up in the toilet bowl. In addition eating almonds has been shown to help to fill us up so we eat less of other foods. Almonds are nutrient powerhouses because they pack a lot of nutrition into their small size. Our dietary guidelines recommend a handful (30g) of nuts every day. That amount of almonds gives you 6g protein, 10% of your fibre, 7% of your calcium, 70% of your vitamin E and significant amounts of a whole bunch of other vitamins and minerals. Enjoy them on their own as a snack (my personal favourite is to mix a kind of trail mix bowl of almonds, blueberries & a square or two of dark chocolate), roughly chop and sprinkle on yoghurt, porridge or over a salad, add to smoothies and they are awesome mixed through a Middle Eastern style rice or couscous dish. Oh and to get all these health benefits you don't need to activate them! That actually reduces some of the nutrients so you are best not to. Lightly roast them if you like and they are delicious that way See more

04.01.2022 1 x 750 mL ice coffee = 6 x 315 mL skinny cappuccinos. People report to drink bottles of this stuff daily! I’m not joking - some people are drinking 4-5 bottle...s per day.... The approximate recommended dietary intakes (RDI) for an average adult in Australia is 8700 kJ or 2000 calories. This drink provides 31% of this amount....it is a drink...not a meal... I don’t have much more to say - think before you drink? #caloriedeficit #type2diabetes #healthytips #insulinresistance #flexiblediet #nutritioncoach #caloriecontrol #allfoodsfit #macros #healthychoice #nutritionist #eatsmart #diettips #dietitian #perthblogger #carblover #calorie #healthyeatinghabits #nutrientdense #weightlossideas #carbs #balanceddiet #nutritiontips #justeatrealfood #balancednotclean #ketodiet #notadiet #factsnotfear #weightlosstips #nutritionfacts

03.01.2022 OMG that muffin packs a lot of KJs

01.01.2022 Is it surprising how many calories alcohol can add to your energy intake? On average, I see people consuming approximately 2-4 alcoholic beverages in one sitti...ng (sometimes A LOT more. You know who you are!). I’m not referring to standard drinks here, since a single drink can provide more than 1-2 standard drinks. Since most people are quick to cut out carbs before they consider how their alcohol intake contributes to their energy intake, I’ve compared the energy in three drinks (values and alcohol % shown in the image) to that in white bread (each slice for this brand is 39g and provides approx 84.5 calories). Note the low carb drinks still provide calories....alcohol provides far more calories per gram than carbs (7 cals/g vs 4cals/g) If your pancreas is still working as intended, I’d suggest focusing more on your energy intake from discretionary foods like alcohol before worrying about carbohydrates as the main issue in your diet. #caloriedeficit #healthyhabits #healthytips #carbsarelife #flexiblediet #nutritioncoach #caloriecontrol #allfoodsfit #macros #healthychoice #nutritionist #eatsmart #diettips #dietitian #perthblogger #lowcarb #calorie #healthyeatinghabits #nutrientdense #weightlossideas #lchf #balanceddiet #nutritiontips #justeatrealfood #balancednotclean #ketodiet #notadiet #factsnotfear #weightlosstips #nutritionfacts
