Did you know? 🍽️

It takes about 20 minutes for your brain to register that you’re full. When we eat too quickly, it’s easy to eat more than our body actually needs.

Try slowing down at meals:
• Put your fork down between bites
• Take a few deep breaths while eating
• Check in halfway through your meal to see if you’re comfortably full

Small mindful habits can make a big difference for appetite control and overall wellbeing.

Did you know? 🥥💧

Coconut water is a refreshing, natural source of electrolytes like potassium and magnesium. It can be a great option to help replenish fluids after a sweaty workout or on a hot day.

Remember that while it contains natural sugars, it can still fit into a balanced diet when enjoyed in moderation.

World Kidney Day – 12 March 🧡

Your kidneys work hard every day to filter waste, balance fluids, regulate blood pressure, and support many important functions in the body.

Kidney disease often develops silently, with few symptoms in the early stages.

People with high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, or a family history of kidney disease are at higher risk.

Healthy lifestyle habits can help protect kidney health:

✔ Control blood pressure and blood sugar
✔ Reduce salt intake
✔ Choose fresh foods instead of processed foods
✔ Stay hydrated
✔ Maintain a healthy weight

If you are concerned about your kidney health, a dietitian can help guide you with personalised nutrition advice.

Today is World Obesity Day.

Obesity is a complex health condition influenced by genetics, hormones, lifestyle, environment, and many other factors. Unfortunately, many misconceptions still exist around weight and health.

Understanding the science behind weight management helps reduce stigma and supports more compassionate, effective care.

Even small, sustainable lifestyle changes can make a meaningful difference to long-term health.

If you are struggling with weight or metabolic health, you don’t have to do it alone. Registered dietitians can help you build practical, personalised strategies that support lasting change.

🥚 Did you know?

Eggs are a complete protein, meaning they contain all 9 essential amino acids your body needs.

This makes them ideal for:
✔️ muscle repair & strength
✔️ keeping you fuller for longer
✔️ supporting healthy metabolism
✔️ affordable, high-quality nutrition

👉 Quick, versatile, and nutrient-dense — eggs are one of the simplest ways to boost protein intake.

When aiming for better health, the cut of chicken you choose matters.
Chicken breast provides the most protein with the least fat, making it ideal for weight loss and heart health. Thighs and drumsticks offer more flavour with moderate fat, while wings contain the highest fat and calories.

🟢 Did you know?
Spinach is a great source of iron — but your body absorbs it better when it’s paired with vitamin C 🍊🍅
Try adding tomatoes, lemon juice, or citrus fruit to your spinach meals to boost iron absorption naturally.mcewan
