HOW MANY VEGETABLES SHOULD I BE EATING?
Nutrition Australia says five serves of veggies a day is best for optimum health.
Doesn’t seem like much, but you may be surprised to know that 96% of Australians are not eating their recommended daily serve of veggies.
And most of us aren’t evening coming close, with the average Aussie eating just half as much as they should.
WHY SHOULD WE EAT MORE VEGETABLES?
We have all been told since childhood that vegetables are good for us, but why? What’s so special about veggies? The answer is boringly simple – they are simply packed full of minerals, nutrients and vitamins.
CAN YOU EAT HEALTHY FOOD AND STILL BE OVERWEIGHT?
Yes. It depends on your portion sizes.
Most healthy foods have calories, some contain more than others.
Therefore, if you have large portions of those healthy foods that are higher in calories, and you do not expend that energy, it is likely you will still gain weight, despite the “healthy diet”.
HOW CAN I EAT HEALTHILY IN ORDER TO LOSE WEIGHT?
“Healthy eating” can be different between different people. The human body’s macro and micronutrients requirements vary according to age, gender, health conditions and physical activity levels. It doesn’t mean that if you eat healthy, you necessarily will lose weight.

GREAT! BUT, EXACTLY WHAT ARE VITAMINS, NUTRIENTS AND MINERALS – WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM, AND WHAT DO THEY DO FOR MY HEALTH?
The main difference between them is the role they exert in the human body. Vitamins are organic substances that the body is incapable of producing or does not produce in sufficient quantity. The vitamins are required in small amounts for metabolism, such as blood formation (folic acid and B12), antioxidants (ascorbic and vitamin E), energy metabolism (thiamine, riboflavin and pyridoxine), bone health (Vitamin D) and protein metabolism (vitamins A and K).
Nutrients provide nourishment for the body. Nutrients are carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins, fibre and water. The body energy is derived from a mix of some nutrients.
Minerals are inorganic substances found in foods that are also responsible for the body health, especially for bones, hormones and heart.

CAN YOU STILL EAT HEALTHY FOOD IF YOU ARE ON A BUDGET?
Yes, you definitely can.
Buying fresh fruits and veggies when they are in season is usually the cheapest option. You can freeze some veggies to use later, or make batches of healthy food to freeze when you have a big harvest of cheap veggies. When you go shopping, have a preprepared grocery list and stick to it. Try to resist the temptation to buy cheap, easy food…in the long run, an unhealthy diet can be very costly.
