National Nutrition Foundation

Have you heard of BIEDAW?

Body Image and Eating Disorders Awareness Week (BIEDAW) is a national week to raise awareness of body image concerns and eating disorders.

Did you know that 1 in 6 people think that eating disorders are a lifestyle choice or about vanity?

The way we talk about food, bodies, appearance and eating disorders has an impact – and we all have a role to play in shifting misconceptions and breaking down stigma. It’s key in encouraging people to seek help.

Today we raise a glass (of rich in vitamin c orange juice), to those who raised us.

Thank you to all the Fathers and Father figures in our lives. Today we celebrate you.

Our vision unpacked. People. Planet.

For people: 💚
We all have unique food preferences and goals, but food is central to life, celebrating milestones, culture, and identity. National Nutrition Foundation honours how food enriches our lives and understands the impact of personal circumstances. We aim to ensure Australians can enjoy nutritious foods and make informed choices for themselves and their loved ones.

For planet. 🌎
Our food systems and individual behaviours have an impact on the health of the planet – and we are all responsible for future generations.
National Nutrition Foundation aims to reduce the negative impacts of food systems and individual food behaviours on planetary health.
It is a global problem, and we will be part of the solution.

Okay, let's iron this out. It's not just your crinkled shirt and that person pumping iron at the gym who need iron.

Iron is essential for everyday life. It is an important mineral found in a range of foods that help transport oxygen around the body.

Did you know some foods can help our bodies absorb iron, while others can inhibit it?

To ensure your iron is being absorbed we recommend that you:

🍊 Eat foods high in vitamin C with foods that contain iron.
🍳 Cook your plant foods to improve the amount of available iron.
☕ Avoid having tea, coffee or calcium during or directly after having a source of iron.
