24.01.2022 PLANNING YOUR PANTRY DURING COVID-19 Recently, we've been seeing people flocking to the stores to stock up on pantry staples. Panic-buying and hoarding these items places a greater strain on the poorest and more vulnerable people of our community. The elderly, people with disabilities and medical conditions, and people living paycheck to paycheck are facing greater risks for food insecurity and poor health. The first step to doing your grocery shopping is look at what you al...ready have at home. Check your pantry, fridge and freezer. Check the use-by dates, best before dates and expiry dates. You might find you have more room in your fridge that you thought. Next make a list of longer lasting and shelf-stable foods from each of the main food groups like the list below. Buy products you will eat and enjoy to prevent food wastage. See if you have a can opener or opt to buy cans with a pull ring. FRUIT: choose fresh fruit that last longer like apples, bananas and citrus fruits, frozen fruits, dried fruits, and canned fruit VEGETABLES: choose fresh vegetables that last longer like potatoes, carrots, onions, cabbage and pumpkin, frozen vegetables, and canned vegetables CANS OF SOUP PROTEIN SOURCES: canned fish, legumes, nuts and seeds, and long-like milk GRAINS: try different varieties of grains such as quinoa, cous cous, rolled oats as well as rice and pasta HERBS AND SPICES: relying on shelf-stable foods such as recipe bases and sauces can increase the sodium in your diet. Try herbs and spices to flavour your meals instead of salt FOODS FOR ENJOYMENT: in these times of uncertainty and isolation, we need a bit of comfort and joy in our lives. A chocolate or sweet biscuit every now and again may be beneficial for your mental health These are times for simple recipes with a couple of ingredients. You may also want to freeze the extra servings of the meals you cook. Stay alert not anxious. Together, we can flatten the curve

16.01.2022 In this time of self-isolation, we are more likely to experience constipation. The quality of our diet may decrease due to limited grocery shops and we can't do our normal physical activity. Here are some tips on how to prevent constipation. INCREASE YOUR FIBRE INTAKE, ESPECIALLY YOUR INSOLUBLE FIBRE Insoluble fibre adds bulk to stool and promotes bowel movement making it easier to pass stool You can find insoluble fibre in wholegrain breads and cereals, fruits and vege...tables, in particular their skins, legumes, and nuts and seeds INCREASE YOUR FLUID INTAKE, PARTICULARLY WATER Fluids help with digestion and keeping our bowels regular. Fluids help to fibre work better Fluid includes water as well as milk, juice, coffee, tea, broth and soup GET ENOUGH PHYSICAL ACTIVITY Physical activity help to keep our bowels regular It can be pretty difficult to do much physical activity at the moment, but we should try our best to get some physical activity each day Try going for a walk or run (while also social distancing), riding your bike or home workouts from Youtube. You could also do some gardening in your yard, if you have one.

05.01.2022 VITAMIN D As we do our part in flattening the curve by staying at home, we may also be getting less direct sunlight. Social distancing is great for the health of the whole population and stopping the spread of COVID-19, but we also have to look after our own health. Vitamin D is essential for our bone and muscle health. It's also important for heart health, mental health and the immune system. ... Our main source of vitamin D is usually from the sun. UV radiation from the sun triggers the production of vitamin D in our skin. Spending less time outdoors means we are producing less vitamin D. Other sources of vitamin D are: Eggs Oily fish, such as tuna, salmon and mackerel Mushrooms (they can make their own vitamin D too! Increase the vitamin D content by placing your mushrooms in the sun before you cook or eat them) Vitamin D-fortified dairy such as milk, yoghurt, cheese and margarine To maintain healthy vitamin D levels, try: getting some sunlight each day (go for short walk, do some gardening, or just sit in your front or back yard) having eggs for breakfast (any other meal you like) having fish 2-3 times per week try a recipe which includes mushrooms check if your milk or margarine is fortified with vitamin D (look at the ingredients list) Do not take vitamin D supplements unless under the supervision of a doctor and/or dietitian. Supplements may not be necessary for you. If you have concerns about your vitamin D levels, speak to your doctor or make an appointment with me at facebook.com/sharonapd
