🍊 As a dietitian, one of the questions I get asked often about is supplements 💊 While there is a time and place for targeted supplementation, especially for verified deficiencies, when it comes to vitamin C, your food is the ultimate source!

🫑 When you eat a juicy orange or a crispy capsicum, you are not just getting vitamin C, you are getting a powerful team of nutrients that work together such as …

👉🏻 Bioflavonoids - these assit with absorption of vitamin C

👉🏻 Fibre - essential for gut health, satiety, and blood sugar control

👉🏻 Antioxidants and phytochemicals - protective compounds that offer broad health benefits

🥝🍅🥦 Prioritise vibrant, whole foods to nourish your body with vitamin C and all its incredible supporting cast!

🐟 🌱 Ever wondered about the difference between fish oil and algae oil for your omega 3 needs? Both are excellent sources of essential fatty acids DHA and EPA, but they have key differences

👉🏻 The best form of omega 3 for you depends on your dietary choices and personal values. If you are vegan, vegetarian, or simply looking for a more sustainable and pure option, algae oil is a fantastic choice

👉🏻 If you prefer a traditional source, a high-quality fish oil supplement is a great option

👉🏻 As always, remember to prioritise getting nutrients from whole food first - think fatty fish, walnuts, chia seeds, edamame, flaxseed - use supplements as a supportive tool!

🥑 Eating more plants doesn’t have to be complicated! As a dietitian, I love showing clients how delicious and satisfying a plant-based diet can be

🫘 Swapping out a few meat-based meals a week is a simple way to boost fibre intake, add more vitamins, and explore new flavours

👉🏻 Starting with meat-free lunches can be an easy way to increase more plant-based meals into your diet 🥗

🐟Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin that is an important cofactor in various metabolic processes such as metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and amino acids

▫️The recommended daily intake of vitamin B6 is between 1.3 and 2.0mg/day, which can be found in foods such as poultry, fish, potatoes, fruits and vegetables

▫️Intake of food-based sources of B6 will not cause toxicity, but the use of supplements containing the nutrient potentially can. Vitamin B6 toxicity leads to peripheral neuropathy

▫️Peripheral neuropathy is characterised by tingling, burning, or numbness, usually in the hands and feet, weakness and problems with coordination

▫️Although there is little evidence that supports supplementing vitamin B6 in high amounts, mega-doses of 50-500mg/day of vitamin B have been prescribed by some complimentary practitioners in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome, premenstrual syndrome, and depression, among others

▫️A review by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has found that peripheral neuropathy can occur at doses less than 50mg and the European Food Safety Administration (EFSA) have established a new upper limit of 12mg/day

▫️Protein powders, energy drinks, magnesium and zinc supplements plus other products may be fortified with B6 so check the labels.

▫️There are three forms of vitamin B6 available in products, so when label reading look for these:
pyridoxine hydrochloride
pyridoxal 5-phosphate
pyridoxal 5-phosphate monohydrate

▫️The concerns around supplementing Vitamin B6 once again highlights the benefits of prioritising nutrient intake from whole foods! 🍗 🐟 🥔 🍌

🍕Can pizza fit into a healthy diet? As a dietitian, I believe you can enjoy your favourite foods while nourishing your body

👉🏻 To assist with maintaining health goals, you may choose thin crust over thick crust, load up on veggies, choose leaner sources of meat and halve the cheese 🧀

🥗 By adding a salad, you can increase fibre and volume to your plate, helping you feel full and satisfied with a smaller portion of pizza

💡Remember, a healthy diet is about balance and enjoying all foods in moderation. You don’t have to give up pizza to be healthy!

🔧 Improving your diet doesn’t have to be a complete overhaul! As a dietitian I often see the most sustainable and significant results come from small, consistent changes

🥑 Instead of aiming for perfection, focus on progress. Reading the nutrition panels and choosing the best option is one strategy that can make a big difference over time.

🥑 When you need a snack that will help to keep you full, don’t overlook fibre

🍐 In addition to assisting with regular digestion, fibre also has benefits for cholesterol, blood sugar and weight management, plus supports your gut health

🍌 An easy way to help with reaching a minimum of 30g of fibre a day, make sure fibre is included in your snacks

🍎 When looking for fibre foods to include in snacks, gravitate towards plant-based ingredients because all plant foods contain fibre

☕️ It is often surprising how many kilojoules are in coffee

➡️ If weightloss is your goal, a simple swap such as ordering a long black with milk, will save 470kJ (50Cal). If you do this everyday, you will save 3290kJ (770Cal) over the week!

👉🏻 This will have a great impact for such a small change 🤩

🫑 🍄‍🟫 🥦 Volume Eating

▫️Volume eating allows you to prioritise high-volume foods to help increase satiety and fullness without increasing calorie intake

▫️Generally, foods that are high in fibre and/or water content, plus low in sugar are considered ‘high volume’ foods, given that both fibre and water provide little to no calories per gram.

▫️High volume foods include:
- leafy green vegetables such as lettuce, spinach, kale🥬
- cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, broccoli
- stem and other vegetables such as capsicum, onions, zucchini, celery
- fruit such as rock melon and berries

▫️Volume eating is a great way to consume nutrient-dense foods and support weight loss. Since high volume foods have a high water and fibre content, they are lower in calories and are more satiating than low volume foods.

▫️Consuming high volume, low calorie foods helps you to eat fewer calories and create a calorie deficit while remaining satisfied

🫛🍄‍🟫Plant-Based Diets

🥜 A plant-based diet focuses on foods sourced primarily from plants. This eating pattern is environmentally friendly and is associated with several health benefits

🫘 When transitioning to a plant-based diet, meat alternatives make it super easy to recreate the familiar textures and flavours of meat while helping you getting used to eating more veg meals

🌮 Not all plant-based meats are created equal. Some are better than others! Most have improved in recent years and are no longer so heavy on the coconut and palm oil, however some do still contain excessive calories and sodium 🧂

👉🏻The following criteria will assist you in choosing the healthiest option …..

> 10g of protein per 100Cal
< 2g of saturated fat per 100g
made from a nutrient-dense source of protein (soy, legumes, pea)
< 400mg of sodium per 100g
Fortified with iron
