There are many people who aren't able to eat food, but still require the same nutrition. A dietitian helps people who need tube feeding by recommending the best formula for the individual. The dietitian also calculates the required quantity and advises how and when the feed should occur. In general, the dietitian continues to monitor the patient and their health status. This is a shoutout to all the dietitians prescribing tube feeds and the companies that manufacture enteral and parenteral feeds.

Fibre is an important for regular bowel movement and digestive health. It is a type of carbohydrate that your body can’t digest but can help with APPETITE CONTROL, managing BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS, IMPROVE CHOLESTEROL and be a PROTECTIVE FACTOR AGAINST some CHRONIC DISEASES such as diabetes and heart disease.
It is recommended that you consume 25-30g of fibre each day. Ways to increase your fibre intake and meet this target include:
1. Eating a variety of fruit and vegetables
2. Adding nuts and seeds to meals
3. Eating beans and legumes (tinned 5 bean mix, chickpeas, lentils)
4. Eating more unprocessed wholegrains (eg grain breads, grainy crackers)

If you’re not sure if you’re getting enough fibre, talk to a dietitian today!

A lot of vegetable scraps go in the bin, but there are plenty of ways to use up the whole veg. Using the whole vegetable is a great way to reduce food waste. Plus, different parts of the vegetables provide us with different nutrients – something we miss out on when we chuck certain parts of the vegetable away! ⠀
⠀
Check out these top tips to get the most out of your veg:⠀
⠀
Roast your cauliflower leaves with your cauliflower florets for a crunchy addition to your plate.⠀
⠀
Use vegetable peels and discarded ends to make healthy vegetable stock packed with goodness.⠀
⠀
Add your broccoli stem to stir fries for extra crunch⠀

Grains include pasta, oats, flour and bread. Buying wholemeal and wholegrain varieties of these foods can keep us fuller for longer and give us energy for our day. ⠀

Just as food preference is personal, so too is each dietitians approach to your care.

While all Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs) have the very best nutrition education and evidence based ongoing learning – they too all have different tastes....

That’s why during Dietitians Week (21-27 March 2022), Dietitians Australia is raising awareness for the many ways that dietitians improve lives.

No matter their specialty, a dietitian’s unique nutritional understanding enables us to live our very best life with support all the way.

Because we all like what we like – dietitians included!

"A sugar by any other name still tastes as sweet"

I'm sure that's what Shakespeare meant to say!🤔🤣

Did you know there are many different names sugar can be called when listed as an ingredient on a food product. Next time you're checking the ingredients list look out for these names:
🍭Dextrose,
🍭Fructose,
🍭Sucrose,
🍭Maltose,
🍭Glucose,
🍭Corn sugar, and
🍭High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS)

as well as sugar syrups such as Barley Malt Syrup, Honey, Brown Rice Syrup or Agave.

So stay informed and know your sugars!!

Check out these ideas to fill up on nutrients without the calories!

Snack smart with veg

Don’t wait for your main mealtimes to eat your veg. Adding vegetables into snacking occasions can make meeting your five serves a day a whole lot easier.

Getting more veg in your snacks is as easy as 1-2-3-4.

1. Be prepared – cut up veggies into snack-size sticks at the start of the day or buy easy-snacking veg like Qukes or Kumatos.
2. Enjoy veggies with dips – try hummus, tzatziki, or beetroot dip.
3. Bake your veg – add vegetables to muffins, fritters, falafels, or scones
4. Blend them up – use avocado, spinach, frozen zucchini, or kale in smoothies.

Do you find yourself reaching for tasty treats like doughnuts to help keep you going during the day? This could be due to lack of sleep. Sleeping fewer than 7 hours causes:
- An increase in hunger and appetite
- An increase in cravings for high
carbohydrate, high kilojoule foods
- A slow down of metabolism so more
fat is stored in your body
- Tiredness and lack of energy
- Increased levels of stress hormones
- Increases in insulin resistance that
can lead to type 2 diabetes.
