New Healthy Eating Pyramid

Today Nutrition Australia has released the latest version of the “Healthy Eating Pyramid” for Australians. The ‪#‎newpyramid‬ is here, in an effort to combat growing nutrition confusion and risky fad diets.

One of the positive changes is that there is a greater emphasis on fresh vegetable (mostly) and fruit intake which is now at the base of the pyramid.
Grains, cereals and other starchy carbohydrate foods now have a smaller representation on the next level up. Vegetables now occupy the largest space and herbs and spices are included as well which is great.

It also puts healthy fats at the very top of the pyramid which could be seen as a good thing. At least now people know to MONITOR their fat intake, as it contains almost TWICE as many calories per gram as protein and carbohydrates (yes even the “good fats”), rather than just avoiding fats altogether.

They have also made the distinction between sugar and ADDED sugar, saying the latter along with high salt intakes is the one to avoid.

The Pyramid is never going to fit EVERYONE in the population, but it can be a good place to start for those who have no idea about nutrition.  If you read the Qualia Review you will learn that we are all unique and our body’s needs are all individual so there will never be a perfect food pyramid that suits everyone’s nutritional beliefs – but promoting more veggies can only be a positive thing. Hopefully this can bring some positives changes that affect the growing obesity and health crises in Australia.

Healthy Together Victoria

Healthy Together Victoria

Victorians are being urged to make small steps towards better health. The state government has recently launched a new “Healthy Together Victoria’ campaign which aims to improve people’s health where they live, learn, work and play. People should start with small achievable changes, such as adding a few extra veggies to their meals, or cutting down on the amount of processed food they eat, or getting outdoors and exercising on the weekend.

Healthy Together Victoria focuses on addressing the underlying causes of poor health in children’s settings, workplaces and communities to strengthen Victoria’s prevention system. The focus is on encouraging healthy eating and physical activity, and reducing smoking and harmful alcohol use.

The initiative is jointly funded by the State Government of Victoria and the Australian Government through the National Partnership Agreement on Preventive Health (NPAPH).

  • A focus on children

    • As children and young people develop the knowledge, skills and behaviour for lifelong health and wellbeing, preventive efforts focused in the early years of life are likely to be effective and long-lasting.

  • A focus on workplaces

    • The benefits of healthy workplaces reach far beyond individual workers, influencing the health of families and communities. Behind every successful business is the hard working loyal employees who work within it. A healthy workplace also reduces sick leave and staff turnover and increases productivity and participation. One of the best ways for improving employee job satisfaction is a Corporate Health and Fitness Programs that aim to increase each staff members quality of life.

    Through the National Partnership Agreement on Preventive Health (NPAPH), the Australian Government is delivering national initiatives that complement the work underway in Victoria. These are underpinned by a joint statement by the Australian Government and peak employer representatives and unions demonstrating their commitment to improving the health of the population through workplaces. There is also a Healthy Workers website which has the latest tools, resources and guidance to support employers develop health promoting workplaces and an awards program.

    Another option is our Melbourne corporate fitness programs that are flexible and adaptable to both your organization and employees needs. By tailoring the exercise program to your company’s specific needs we are able to provide you with an opportunity to improve your workplace that is both effective and affordable. Our corporate fitness programs can include private 1 on 1 consultations, group exercise sessions, boot camp programs, education on nutrition and guidance with healthy food plans as well as ongoing fitness appraisals and assessments.

  • Initiatives

    • Healthy Together Victoria also aims to create links to health promotion and prevention services and programs underway across the state, such as Premier’s Active Families Challenge, Ride2School, WorkHealth and Life!

    Healthy Together Communities

    Healthy Together Communities are operating in 12 areas across Victoria. In these areas, local governments, in partnership with community health organisations, local stakeholders and communities, are leading comprehensive local efforts to support the development of a local prevention system.
