Lake Macquarie City Council is partnering with SEEDS Newcastle for a FREE event Sunday 29th August 9.30-11am in Windale because they recognise healthy nutrition and eating in young children can be challenging!

With so many foods labelled as “healthy”, it can be overwhelming knowing what’s best for our kids and how we can ensure they are getting all the vitamins and nutrients that they need to thrive. Parents are invited to join this demonstration on how they can best nourish their children from the inside. Register here:

🌿 Fiber isn’t optional, it’s foundational.

It feeds your good gut bacteria, supports digestion, balances blood sugar and reduces inflammation. One of the best things you can do for your gut is to eat a wide variety of plant foods. Different plants contain different types of prebiotics, which act like fuel for your microbiome.

Aim for as many plant types as possible throughout the week to build a strong, diverse gut foundation. Small changes add up and your gut will thank you.

Change doesn’t have to be big to make a difference. What matters most is consistency.

Small daily actions like choosing water over soft drinks, cooking one more meal at home, taking a 10-minute walk after dinner, or going to bed a little earlier can lead to powerful results over time.

These simple shifts build momentum, and over weeks and months, they add up to real change.

At SEEDS, we support you in building sustainable habits through community, education, and hands-on programs like our Cooking Club and CHIP.

Start small. Stay consistent. Watch your health transform.

Diabetes and Our Children: A Growing Concern

Type 2 diabetes was once considered a condition that only affected adults—but we’re now seeing it diagnosed more frequently in children and adolescents. This rise is closely linked to modern lifestyle factors: highly processed diets, lack of physical activity, poor sleep, and increased rates of childhood overweight.

The encouraging news is that type 2 diabetes is largely preventable, and in many cases, can be managed—or even reversed—through lifestyle changes.

Focusing on whole, unprocessed foods, encouraging daily movement and play, creating healthy routines, and modelling these behaviours at home can make a profound difference.

At SEEDS, we believe in empowering families with the knowledge, tools, and support to build healthy habits from a young age—because the best time to invest in our children’s health is now.

Stay connected with us for more family-focused education and support.

One of the best things you can do for your health? Cook your own meals. 🍲

Why? Because home cooking gives you the power to:

✅ Control ingredients (no hidden sugars, additives or preservatives)
✅ Choose healthier oils and reduce excess salt
✅ Load up on fresh, seasonal produce
✅ Cook with love and intention not just convenience

At SEEDS, we believe food is medicine and that healing starts in the kitchen. If you need support, inspiration, or just want to make it more fun, join us for our weekly Cooking Club! 🌿

🥩 MYTH: “We need meat for protein”
Let’s clear this up once and for all…

Yes, protein is essential—but you don’t need meat to get enough. 🌱

The average adult only needs about 42 grams of protein per day. Most people, especially meat-eaters, consume far more than that. And guess what? Vegetarians and vegans typically get 70% more than they need, too—without trying.

📊 Here’s the breakdown:
🍛 1 cup lentils = ~18g protein
🌮 1 cup black beans = ~15g
🥦 1 cup chickpeas = ~15g
🍖 85g beef (deck of cards) = ~22g

👉 Protein deficiency is incredibly rare. But do you know what most people are actually missing?

💥 Fibre.
Only found in plant foods. And fibre is essential for gut health, blood sugar balance, and long-term disease prevention.

So, the real question isn’t:
“Where do you get your protein?”
But rather:
“Where do you get your fibre?”

At SEEDS, we help you focus on what really matters. Join us at Cooking Club to experience the power of plant-based eating in action. 🌿
