Just arrived in beautiful Springsure. Working at Springsure Medical today as a free dietitian service funded by Rolleston Open Cut Mine.

Cathie Lowe from DSQ is heading out to Springsure and Rolleston 16 and 17 Feb to work with Rolleston Open Cut Mine staff. Glencore has provided my services free to Rolleston and Springsure communities - you are welcome to contact me or the medical clinics to arrange and appointment if you have any nutrition questions.

Just saw the first whacky and dangerous diet cross my desk today - sigh. See all the red's in this graph? They are all the nutrients that you would not get if you ate this way. No vitamin B12 at all! Only a quarter of the energy that a female needs - so you would be tired and hungry (or in my case hangry!) by 10am. Not enough protein, so your body would be breaking down muscle from day 1. The human body has a LIVER that is very good at detoxing you don't need these kinds of diets where you mainly eat vegetables and water and nothing else. Rant over.

Trying some infused water recipes for Christmas for something different to plain water (it's been hot in Brissie).
1. Cucumber, mint and chilli - surprisingly refreshing
2. Cherry, lemon and mint - favourite
3. Ginger, peach and lemon - next time I'd add more peach and ginger
(Obviously I'm not competition for the food photographers - how do they get the fruit to sit and look pretty in the glasses and jugs???)

Tradie Tucker Tips - Keep it Simple

If you are a tradie, what tips to do you for healthy lunches?

Jamie and Mark Witte (MJ Witte Builder) are brothers (and my cousins) and both are chippies and builders. When I heard it was Tradie Health Month I thought of them as I know they eat and enjoy healthy lunches.

‘Nothing special gets done here’ was Mark’s comment and he keeps healthy eating simple by taking leftovers or meat and salad or sandwiches and fruit. Jamie said one of his favourite lunches was a salad including lettuce, grated carrot, cheese, boiled egg, tin of tuna with mayo or salad dressing.
Mark packs fruit and nut mix or several pieces of fruit for his snacks. He keeps it simple while getting plenty of energy to get him through the day.

Why nutritional psychiatry is the future of mental health treatment A growing body of scientific evidence is making clear the connection between good nutrition and good mental health.

I feel sorry for porridge. It’s so rich in nutrients, yet it doesn’t get the swanky ‘superfood’ label, and almost seen as the poor man’s food. Well it’s one of the most wonderful things you can eat. Fibre for your gut bugs to feed off, and beta glucans to protect you heart. Kick ar$e carbs so that you can actually think and store memories during the day.
As you know, I would LOVE to open a non-wanky nutrition cafe and this would be on the breakfast menu.

Porridge with treacle, topped with creme fraiche (cultured with Jeffie, made by ). Served steaming hot with a delicious coffee.

If you had a life threatening peanut food allergy which of these food labels indicate a higher risk?

(A) Manufactured in a facility which also processes peanuts.
(B) May be Present peanuts, contains soy, contains milk, May be Present wheat.
(C) May contain traces or peanuts and/ or tree nuts.

Did you pick (a) or (c)? Many people do and would be wrong.

Research by Zurzolo in 2013 showed that families of children with allergies, dietitians and nurses thought the "May be present" warning was lower than the other warnings.

Unfortunately, many of these warnings don't help people make an informed decision on risk of contamination.

However, "May be present" means that the food may be a high risk of contamination with a food allergen. Food companies that have assessed each food processing step and assessed that there is a high risk of cross contamination put the specific warning "May be present".

A recent food security (hidden hunger) survey found 1 in 3 households are experiencing food insecurity in Australia. Mostly due to lack of money. Lots of financial pressures such as housing, energy and water affordability.

6% of Australian children have gone hungry at least once in the past fortnight.

Thank you to Prof Gallegos for presenting data on this important issue in Australia.

I wonder who will be my 10000th new client? Only 97 people to go. Must think of a nice present for them to celebrate.

This is an interesting blog by Shane Delia. It links in with research showing that offering foods multiple times helps with meal acceptance
