I hope your diet is better than the average Australian one 😬

Is your diet making you sick?

Less than 5 per cent of Australians are making dietary choices that meet nutritional guidelines, with poor diet among the top causes of disease in the country.

CSIRO researchers say the cost of healthy food (like fruit and vegetables) compared to processed ones can also make a nutritious diet out of reach for Australians on a smaller budget.

🤞👏
We already know that lifestyle, including healthy diet plays a huge role in preventing dementia, bit it may be that anthocyanins may even play a bigger role in it than expected...

🤞🤞🤞 for everyone with coeliac disease 🤞🤞🤞

A clinical trial is underway for a new treatment for coeliac disease, an autoimmune condition affecting less than two per cent of Australians.

There is no cure and currently, the only treatment is a strict, lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet, however, the Wesley Hospital in Brisbane is attempting to find a breakthrough by trying to "turn off the cells that are part of the aberrant pathway" using two doses of a new molecule.

⭐️GOOD MOOD FOOD ⭐️ You’ve probably heard that nuts have weight and heart-health benefits, but how do they impact mood?

Nuts contain magnesium and zinc, to help provide a natural pick-me-up, plus healthy fats, fibre, B vitamins, and antioxidants – which all play their part in supporting mental health.

Today is World Mental Health Day, and this year’s focus is on mental health in the workplace.

Here are three convenient ways to enjoy nuts at work:
🌰 Bring some ‘satay’ to your chicken and salad wrap with the addition of nut butter
🌰 Scatter a handful of nuts on top of last night’s stir-fry, curry or pasta leftovers
🌰 Keep a container of nuts in your desk drawer for a quick and easy snack.

Most importantly, a handful of nuts a day is the target!

There's some good news coming up for those with coeliac disease! There may soon be a medicine available for CD, due to work to carried out by a Finnish research team - their most recent very promising research results were published last month. If this works out, it would change the lives of millions.

Viiri and colleagues show that an orally administered transglutaminase 2 inhibitor prevented gluten-induced intestinal damage and inflammation at the transcriptional level.
