Daley Nutrition

The VIC lockdown last year changed a lot of people’s lifestyle habits 👟🍟🍕🍪🍫🍺🍸 😴 . On the 27th of March we are running an online government funded diabetes prevention program called Life! (for parents). The aim is to offer support & guidance with nutrition & physical activity for 12 months 👍🏻: . It’s the 2nd largest diabetes prevention program in the world and was created here in Victoria, Melbourne 🇦🇺. If you have any of the below conditions & live in Melbourne it is worth reaching out to the Life team: . ✅ 18 years or over and have been diagnosed with one or more of the following: . • Heart disease or stroke (e.g. heart attack, arrythmia, angina, heart failure). • Diabetes during pregnancy. • Chronic kidney disease. • High cholesterol. • High blood pressure. • High blood glucose levels. • Polycystic ovarian syndrome . #diabetesawareness #prediabetes (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMa5306l5G3/?igshid=1l6kuoe8vbgng

Portion organising meals is a great way to make sure you are ✅ off some of the key recommend Aussie food group servings. . 1) As a nation on average only 4% of adults eat enough veg 🥕per day (5+ needed). 2) 30% eat enough grains 🌾 & cereals (4-6 servings needed). 3) 18% of adults eat enough lean meats, fish 🐟 & alternative plant based proteins (2-2.5 servings needed). . Kids consumption of key food groups are a lot lower than adults 🧑 for most food groups, with only 1% of 2-18 year olds eating enough veg 🍽 for example. . Maybe a portion plate would help with structuring your meals 👍🏻, try a web search to find a model plate that includes 1/2 plate with veg, 1/4 protein, 1/4 starchy carbohydrates. .

The Aussie old school Weetbix 🥣 🥛 could a be an option for brekkie if you are struggling to achieve a regular morning intake of iron (swipe for NRV gov dietary recommendations). . Per serving (2 weetbix) contain a respectable 3mg of fortified iron. Add some fruit 🍓 on top instead of sugar & you can increase that non-haem iron absorption rate with vitamin C (via ⚡️Duodenal cytochrome B). . Add some pumpkin seeds on top also to add an extra 1-2 mg of iron per tbsp. The best way to find out if you are low in iron is a simple blood 🩸 test. . #womenshealth #pregnancyjourney https://www.instagram.com/p/CMIXqfgF6vK/?igshid=h30744obvah3

Have you tried frozen grapes 🍇 when a sugar craving starts? . Fluctuations in stress levels 🤯, skipping meals 🍝 & being in an energy deficit that is too low can cause sugar cravings . Over the years we have found that sweet frozen grapes can give you a sugary taste & crunch 👅 but also offers some key nutrients rather than added sugar. . If you get regular sugar cravings 🍭🍦🍫🍪, it is worth talking to a nutrition profession to see if there are any gaps in your eating habits that need addressing. . If you experience chronic stress is it encouraged to reach out to your GP 👩‍⚕️ if you are struggling to manage your mental health. . #grapes #sugarcravings (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLqywz9lZcH/?igshid=1g69up44e870f

We’ve updated our family banana bread 🍌 🍞 recipe, it’s heavier and more like a banana bread brick / slice. But an essential activity during Melbourne 🔒 down. .

Yes, absolutely. For a sentedary person aerobic exercise such as a simple 10minute walk can help 🚶‍♀️.
