Eating with screens has become normal.

Busy schedules, quick meals, and constant phone access make it feel easier, especially for families.

But when we eat distracted, we miss important hunger and fullness cues.
Over time, this can affect digestion, satisfaction, and our relationship with food, especially for children.

Eating without screens doesn’t need to be perfect or all-or-nothing.
Even one screen-free meal a day can help build awareness, enjoyment, and healthier long-term habits.

Small changes count 🤍

Easter is a time for celebration, family, and yes… a few treats too. 🐣

Being aware of portion sizes can help you enjoy your favourite Easter foods while still maintaining balance. Whether it’s a hot cross bun, a mini egg, or a chocolate treat, the key is mindful enjoyment rather than restriction.

Food is part of celebration and connection. The goal isn’t perfection, it’s balance.

When a child has epilepsy, it’s natural to look for answers.

And sometimes that leads to so-called “wonder diets”. The truth? There’s no one-size-fits-all solution.

Nutrition can play a supportive role, but it should always be guided, individualised, and medically appropriate.

If you’re navigating this journey, you don’t have to do it alone.

School lunches don’t have to be fancy to be good.

This is your reminder that:
✔ simple is enough
✔ balance beats perfection
✔ variety over the week matters more than one “ideal” lunch

From wraps and sandwiches to fruit, yoghurt, popcorn and biltong, these lunchboxes are designed to fuel growing bodies, support gut health, and make mornings a little less chaotic.
Busy moms, you’re doing great. And yes, this counts.

Save this for later or screenshot your favourite day.

The number on the scale is just that… a number.
How you feel matters more.

Your energy, your strength, your mood, your digestion, your confidence.

Megan explains why progress isn’t always reflected on the scale and why feeling better is often the real win. 🤍

We’ve officially added the InBody 580 to Vergelegen Dietitians and yes, we’re the first in the Helderberg to have it.

This isn’t your average. It looks beyond the number and breaks down what’s really going on inside your body.

More insight.
Less guessing.
Smarter nutrition support.

Marguerite explains it best!

Your nutrition needs don’t stay the same forever.

As your body moves through different life stages, your energy, hormone balance and nutrient requirements shift too.

In this reel, Marlene explains why eating for where you are now matters and how small changes can support your health long term.

World Obesity Day is about understanding, not judgement.
