An interesting article in today’s The Courier Mail: “We really only expected to find psychiatric genes, but we’re finding that equally important are metabolic genes.”

Now I haven’t managed to find the journal article and have not read it myself yet. It will be interesting to see how much they attribute to genetics - how they came to conclusions and the discussion around what part genetics plays towards possible ‘metabolic genes’ as opposed to psychiatric disorders.

Of course from that stems the future of prevention in this area.

When the health star system first came out I started a blog post reviewing it. In the end it wasn’t posted because I realised I was sort of hating on a system that is designed to help people.

With that note, although I believe it has some flaws, attention should still be paid as the alternatives may not be that great.

It serves a purpose. Happy Weds everyone!

With flu season upon us we must wonder, if we all ate more veg would it actually prevent us from getting sick? Probably not. 😭 🤒

Could it reduce the symptoms?
Does it lessen the length of time we are sick?
How much more vitamins/minerals would we have to get? 💊

Something to research maybe? .... maybe. 🤔

Here a great pic I calll: The flu - usually self diagnosable. 😂😂

Happy Monday! 🤗

After quite the hiatus I have found my passion for nutrition is still strong. Stay tuned for hopefully some interesting topics, opinions, and offers.

Did you know most Australians eat only about half the recommended quantity of vegetables per day?

Evidence shows for each serve of vegetables the risk of coronary heart disease is reduced even further!

Also, by eating vegetables, especially colourful vegetables, there is a reduced risk of stroke and weight gain.

I mean why not eat something that’ll save your life. It’s easier than running on a treadmill 😂😉 🥗🍅🥬🍎🌽🍆

Different vegetables can help protect our bodies in different ways, so it’s important to choose a variety of colours. All vegetables provide vitamin C and dietary fibre, but some have higher amounts than others. Read more: www.eatforhealth.gov.au/food-essentials/five-food-groups/vegetables-and-legumes-beans

Used By and Best Before....

Date marks give a guide to how long food can be kept before it begins to deteriorate or may become unsafe to eat.

The food supplier is responsible for placing a use by or best before date on food.
The only food that can have a different date mark on it is bread, which can be labelled with a baked on or baked for date if its shelf life is less than seven days.

Foods that have a shelf life of two years or longer, e.g. some canned foods, do not need to be labelled with a best before date. This is because it is difficult to give the consumer an accurate guide as to how long these foods will keep, as they may retain their quality for many years and are likely to be consumed well before they spoil.
