24.01.2022 Nostalgia alert! Here's a sneak peak of a video produced by Royal Society of Medicine in 1988 showing dietitians at work in a variety of clinical settings. Watch the full video here: https://youtu.be/OhIfnztQaeU

23.01.2022 Sometimes we are asked if it is OK to drink essential oils. Our advice: usually not a good idea! Essential oils are highly concentrated, which means many of the...m are poisonous even in small doses, especially for children. For example, a teaspoon of eucalyptus oil can be poisonous. As a general rule, use any medicine only as directed by an appropriate health professional.

22.01.2022 I like your work and the work you are promoting Jamie!

22.01.2022 Did you know that a sense of curiosity is one of the most valuable skills to cultivate when aiming to be more mindful, particularly around food and eating? Curi...osity can be a very useful way to focus attention, a place to come back to at any time by asking questions and waiting for the answer in the moment. The thing I love most about curiosity and mindful eating is that even if you're having a tough day, or tough moments in a day, curiosity is a wonderful "base" to come back to, a skill that can keep you grounded and help you stay calm even in the midst of a storm. Helpfully, curiosity and fear or judgement typically dont appear together so when we engage our curiosity , fear tends to take a back seat which gives us opportunities to see or notice new and different aspects of our experience. When fear emerges, often our curiosity usually becomes unavailable to us. So since fear and anxiety are common barriers to mindfulness around food, curiosity is a fantastic tool to help us. A curious stance also helps us to stay in the present moment, with whatever is happening right now. We may find ourselves curious about something in the future, such as I wonder if this food will make me sleepy or energised this afternoon? We cant possibly know the answer until the afternoon comes, so this is an opportunity to give yourself a gentle reminder to come back to the present moment. Later, the question can be revisited in the present, How do I feel now? How can you be more curious with your eating? Consider approaching your next meal or snack with a curious stance. Questions you may like to ask yourself are: - I wonder what this bite will taste like? - Am I hungry yet? - What will hit the spot right now? - That has an interesting feel in my mouth what does it remind me of? - What spices were used in here? - Does this bite taste the same or a little different from the last one? Remaining curious or returning to a curious stance again and again while eating invites us to explore different levels of awareness. Curiosity always assumes there is more in the present to observe and learn from. How can you get curious today? - Fi

21.01.2022 I love this advice. A relaxed supportive environment with firm but fair borders is important for fostering trust around learning about food and eating.

20.01.2022 Fabulous discussion about weight, dieting and its effect on kids.

19.01.2022 Back to basics! Very practical advice. It is too easy to be unfairly judgemental on lunch boxes.

19.01.2022 A must read for anyone taking supplements of any kind. Be aware of the risks you may be taking unnecessarily.

19.01.2022 What to do with the banana that was just too soft to eat from the skin: Add natural yoghurt, blueberries, chia seeds, flax seeds and steel cut oats for crunch and suddenly it becomes an anti- inflammatory, gut friendly and nutritious breakfast Yay

19.01.2022 Happy Dedicated Dietitians Day to all my colleagues

18.01.2022 A great infographic showing how different foods affect blood pH. If food could really make an impact on blood pH in either an acidic OR alkaline direction, it w...ould be life-threatening. A blood pH below 7.35 is called acidosis and above 7.45 alkalosis and both are medical emergencies which can result in death. The body keeps blood pH in a very tight range. And then there is the argument that those pushing pH diets sometimes come up with by acknowledging that acidic foods don't change pH, but do place stress on the body from the need to buffer the pH against the acidity which is harmful. That claim just doesn't hold pH 7 neutral water. Yes, that's a great theory which if you want to apply to 'acidic foods' will apply equally to 'alkaline foods' so an all-alkaline diet would be just as harmful from the need of the body to buffer the pH back into the tight range of 7.35-7.45. Food though can change urine pH and that's one of the regulatory mechanisms the body uses to buffer against too much acidity OR alkalinity, along with respiration. Urine though is contained in the bladder so has no effect on the pH of any other part of your body. And all this focus on blood pH pushed by 'alkaline diets' ignores that pH differs all throughout different body compartments. You want a very acidic stomach and slightly acidic mouth/saliva to help with food digestion. While a lower pH in the colon from bacterial fermentation is linked to favourable changes in disease risk profile. An alkaline diet 'works' because it gives a person a selective list of foods to eat and avoid that includes lots of vegetables and less highly processed food. That's it.

18.01.2022 Interesting and certainly a practice I have been promoting. Now off to France to do the research

17.01.2022 Nutrition is so polarizing at times

15.01.2022 When children refuse vegetables, rather than offer more vegetables parents may not offer them at all resigning themselves to the idea that they just won't like them. It is frustrating but calm perseverance can pay off. Becoming more familiar with vegetables increasing the chances of them being eaten at some point.

09.01.2022 How fun is this - Plush Toy Picnic from our Dietician Alison Alison was working on exploring different food tastes and textures in a non-threatening environm...ent, with all the friends!

08.01.2022 Is the nutrition worth the battle? "Trust us, the nutritional value of a couple of mouthfuls of veggies is negligible. The benefit of a tiny quantity of micr...onutrients is totally outweighed by the damage caused by mealtime pressure. If you are truly worried about nutrition or growth, make sure to seek professional advice from a dietitian. They will be able to assess your child's growth and nutritional needs and identify potential gaps.

02.01.2022 Who said: Bread is empty calories? Institute of medicine recommends kids get half of all their calories from carbohydrates. Two slices of bread: ... 2 grams of fiber = 1/5 of what toddlers need 2mg of iron = 1/4 of daily needs of of toddlers 24 grams of valuable carbohydrates =1/6 of a toddlers daily needs 5g fo protein = 1/3 of a toddlers daily needs The point is NOT to serve only bread to your child, but, instead, to feel relaxed when all they choose to eat is bread. Also, use bread as a bridge to other flavours and more variety: Can you introduce a similar but slightly different of bread? A different type of olive oil, butter, dip or spread to serve it with? Fortified bread with extra iron? White whole wheat bread, that looks exactly like regular white breads but packs more nutrition? If you have nutritional concerns about your child diet, seek professional help. You may be chasing the wrong nutrients and missing easy opportunities to fill the real gaps. For example, while protein is almost never a concern in the developed part of the world, iodine can be a problem for dairy free kids or iron for those who do not eat meat, chicken or beans. And dont worry if all your child is asking for or eating is bread. Its full of nutrition! Your Feeding Team See more
