Rounding out Dietitians Week 2026, it's important to note that only 20-30% of Australians are eating enough fibre!

Fibre can help you feel fuller for long, reduce your risk of bowel cancer and improve your gut health.

Some simple ways to add more fibre:

Wash but don’t peel your carrots or potatoes.
Add a sprinkle of All-Bran to your usual cereal.
Choose a bread with the highest amount of fibre per 100g (more than 5g/100g is best!).

Our Dietetics Program is all about helping you understand the right foods for you and your family.

Here is another functional and fabulous food fact to help celebrate Dietitians Week.

Boost your vitamin D by placing your mushrooms in the sun for 15 minutes before cooking or eating them - they absorb the sunlight and can give you >100% of your daily vitamin D needs!

Give this a try sometime this week.

Did you know that kiwi's contain melatonin which helps you fall asleep and also to stay asleep?

They can also help with constipation and lowering cholesterol levels.
