If I had to pick one favourite part of what I love about being a dietitian, it would be translating nutrition science into simple messages for every day people to be able to make effective dietary changes to positively impact their health. Working with a brand like @activiaaustralia makes my job super easy as everything about the brand is underpinned by quality probiotic nutrition science. So today, chatting to @colessupermarkets head office stuff about Activia probiotics for good gut health was super fun. And of course everyone loved the free Activia yoghurt pot they got to take away! 😀
Today is the Jewish festival of Purim - a day where the kids dress up and play games all day at school, we read the book of Queen Esther and how she saved the Jews from being exterminated in Persia. And like all Jewish festivals, food plays a central role! We eat these little triangle biscuits called hamentashen, which have many meanings. My favourite meaning is their representation of the triumph of good over evil. The world can sometimes seem filled with too much evil on all sides, and I like to believe that good will always prevail…and so will delicious yummy jam-filled triangle biscuits !

When travelling around the world, the best way to experience local cuisine is through recommendations from locals. Today, a shop keeper told us about this ‘hole in the wall’ tiny restaurant where locals queue for hours for the smoky bbq-filled shawarmas that are some of the best in tel Aviv and it did not disappoint.

The majority of our modern food supply and virtually everything we put in our mouths is processed to some degree - whether that be frozen, chopped, cleaned, blended, dehydrated, heated and more. Indeed, food processing is a spectrum, with various terms used to define the [...]
