Want To Eat Less But Still Pack As Much Goodness Into Meals, What Should I Do?
Green veggies will do the trick, just a handful of green vegies will boost your vitamin and mineral intake, and you can eat most of it raw for a snack, or cooked with dinner. An easy and affordable way to eat healthy.
BROCCOLI & BROCCOLINI
While the heads are normally eaten, the stalks and leaves are also edible. (just be sure to adjust cooking times). Look out for broccolini and baby broccoli as alternatives. Eat broccoli raw for the greatest nutritional benefit.
SILVERBEET
Similar to spinach but larger, with a stronger flavour. The main variety of silverbeet has a white stalk but coloured varieties like Rainbow chard which has green leaves but the stems can be red, orange or yellow. Green silverbeet can be sliced thinly, dressed with olive oil and eaten raw or added to salads. Delicious sauteed, boiled or cooked.
ZUCCHINI
Bake me, roast me, steam me, even BBQ me. Perfect to grate raw into salads. Leave skin on for the greatest health benefits.
Add a splash of a healthy oil to maximise absorption of carotenoids
SPINACH
Spinach is a versatile leafy green, used in almost all cuisines. Mature and baby leaf types are available. Spinach contains a lot of lutein, which is linked with eye health. Cooking spinach makes some nutrients more easily absorbed by your body but be careful not to overcook it—steaming is best. Raw is great in sangers and salads.
• Stir-frying keeps vegetables brightly coloured, crunchy and tasty. It also minimises the loss of water-soluble vitamins like vitamin C.
• Make sure you keep the vegetables moving in the pan with a spatula for 2 minutes. You can add 1–2 tablespoons of water to keep them from drying out or burning.
• Broccoli and Broccolini are delicious raw, and you get 100% of the nutrients. Just give it a wash before you eat it.
FENNEL
Fennel is a light green celery-like shoot. Its feathery green leaves are used as a herb, the bulb can be eaten raw or cooked. Fennel has a characteristic aniseed flavour and aroma. Separate stalks from bulb and keep both parts separately in containers in fridge.
Save the stalks of fennel for using in soups, stocks and stews, and use the leaves as a herb. Also try slicing the bulb finely into a salad or cook whole on grill.
CABBAGE
Super versatile. You can do anything with cabbage, it’s has been the staple food on European tables for centuries.
You can also use the cabbage leaves as a healthy Taco shells, or Sushi Roll, cabbage also goes well in soups.
BRUSSEL SPROUTS
This little vegetable packs a massive nutrient punch, it basically has every Vitamin and mineral making it good for your brain, nervous system, digestion, and your immunity system. You can roast or boil or steam sprouts, they are pretty tough so make sure they are well cooked, a stone hard sprout is that good.
The great thing about sprouts is you can cook them to your taste, you can go really soft or firm, and the taste of each is different.
YOUR FRIDGE IS YOUR FRIEND
Your fridge, just another appliance I hear you say, it keeps your food fresh and drinks cold, nothing special. Well, consider this, what if I told you your fridge could save you a bundle of cash each year, and oodles of time planning and prepping meals.
SHOW ME THE MONEY
The humble fridge is your secret weapon to eliminating waste and saving you time and money, but it cant do it alone, it needs you to fully maximise it’s benfites.
Our friends at The Great Unwaste have prepared the below tips to help you get the most out of your fridge.
1. MASTER YOUR FRIDGE TEMP
2. THE FREEZER IS YOUR FRIEND. Make sure your fridge is set between 0 and 5 degrees Celsius. This sweet spot can extend the life of your food by up to three days. It’s like a magical time machine for your hard-earned
A well labelled and stacked freezer means no more mystery hiding in the back or frozen meals falling out when we open There’s an art to organising your freezer – Click here for more
3. CONTAINERS THE ULTIMATE SIDEKICK
Must be airtight. Clear, so you can see contents. Variety of sizes can organise better. Containers you can label with a marker surface that holds stickers.
4. DON’T OVERPACK
Leave space for air to circulate.
5. LET YOUR FRUIT CHILL

We all love a beautiful looking bowl of fruit, but believe it or not, it’s best stored in the fridge. You’ll be amazed how much longer fruit stays fresh in the fridge – it’s a game changer. Bananas, on the other hand, are a different story – swipe to find out where to keep them.
6. UNWASTE YOUR DOUGH
Bread, rolls and loaves are some of the most wasted food items going. But fear not, they’re easily frozen and great to have on hand if you’re running low and face a bread emergency.
7. AVOID BANANA DRAMA
Bananas are the divas of the fruit world – they like their space. Keep them away from other fruits to avoid speeding up the ripening of the other fruits. If they get too spotty, peel and freeze them for smoothies or banana bread!
8. LABEL EVERYTHING
Always label your containers or bags with the food name and date it was frozen.
USE IT OR LOSE IT.
You may think this goes without saying, but use the stored food, it’s easy to suffer from out of site, out of mind. Get into the habit of checking what’s stored before you start cooking.
SHOULD I OR SHOULDN’T I?
When looking at the leftovers and there just doesn’t seem to enough to keep, think again and see if it can be added to a stew, soup, or another meal.
Your stored food may not make up a full meal, but it can certainly make up a part of it. Get creative, see if you can find a way to incorporate some stored goodies into your future meals.
Planning your clubs end of season party? or having a party home with friends and family, watching the finals on TV? check out these great party ideas to get your party started.
COMPETITION.
It wouldn’t be a sporting party without some sort of competition where the experts (your guests) can flex their knowledge and predict winners, scorers, margins etc. On page 31 we have a downloadable Party page your guests can fill in or get creative and make your own. Of course it’s always great to have a prize, not only for the winner but perhaps best dressed or best dish.
DON ’ T GO IT ALONE.
With fun events like a sports party guests are expecting party/finger foods, not a five-star meal, so to make it easy get everyone to bring something to share. Doing this usually provides a really great range of foods, and people still get creative with sporting themed foods which ads to the fun.
THEME.
A theme like a dress up is a fun idea. Remember good taste is required in this day and age. Come as your favourite player, or a single focus theme like – “dress as pirate” these are safe ideas.
Fun stuff.
After watching the game or before the game you can plan your own games, these can be simple like team trivia, or darts, handball competition, or shooting hoops. You can ask guests to prepare words they would have on the bannermake sure everyone can participate, and prepare score board or game components in advance. ( having to prepare the game while guests stand around is a fun killer.) Just to be controversial, probably best to steer clear of drinking games as these can turn fun into – not so much fun quickly. Or, just get the music playlist ready and continue the good vibes.
That is the Spirit.
Coloured napkins, tablecloths, straws paper plates, balloons always add that little fun touch, a small amount of decoration can make a big difference.
Space please.
It’s a good idea to ensure in and around your viewing or main party area has a lot of room to move. There is always a lot of activity at parties with people going here and there, and some perhaps a little unsteady on their feet (if you know what I mean) Remove anything valuable that could be knocked over, or anything that can be damaged by knocks or spills
Easy clean.
Paper plates and plastic cutlery. You do not want to see a mountain of plates piling up during and after the party, the plan should be eat and throw away, have a bin handy so the clutter doesn’t build. Same for cans and bottles, have a recycle bin handy so guests can use it as they go.
Most important.
As a host, ensure you also have a great time, many hosts spend the day ensuring their guests have a great time, this can leave you stressed and exhausted after a party, so ensure you delegate, allow yourself to take the easy option and enjoy the day.
Warn the neighbours.
It is polite to warn the neighbours if you are having a gathering. An informed neighbour is less likely to be upset by any noise. It tends to be the neighbours that get the shock of the unexpended noise that are not happy.
If the thought of walking into a dental practice terrifies you, you’re not alone. Unfortunately the outcome for people plagued with anxiety can be poor oral health, as you may only walk through the practice door when you have severe pain or a serious issue. This in turn can make dental fears even worse. Dentists are aware and understand dental anxiety and can help — so what are the fears?
Dr Kaejenn Tchia, President of the ADA in the Northern Territory, says: “It’s helpful to know that dentists often have numerous tools and strategies to support anxious, nervous or terrified patients.” Dentists will look to build a rapport with you so you can discuss fears and your goals for treatment. Dentists always want to provide a comfortable experience, this builds trust, hopefully empowering the patient to come back for more regular dental care and treatment.
PAIN AND CONTROL
Dr Tchia says: “I always preface to my patients that they’re in control of the appointment and if at any point they need me to stop, they simply communicate by putting their right hand up and I will always stop in a safe manner. This is something all dentists do these days, it helps the patient feel they have control which can help them relax.”
Keeping you informed throughout.
It’s important to let anxious patients know what’s being done next, starting with the chair going back and the bib and goggles going on,
right through to the chair coming back up at the end of the procedure and the rinse moment.
NEEDLES
When it comes to receiving a local anaesthetic it’s important patients know when the anaesthesia is coming and what they can expect to feel during and after. Dentists are all too aware that plenty of patients don’t like to see the needle so by communicating these steps, there are no surprises.
Dental Assistants are also often trained to hold the patient’s hand or provide a reassuring hand on the shoulder during administering of local anaesthetic or an extraction, which can be a great support.
Squeezing stress balls or watching a TV screen above the chair if available can also help you relax.
Guided meditation or dental hypnosis is also an option.
Dr Kaejenn Tchia says: “One exercise I do with patients is to get them focused on their breathing, taking deep slow breaths in and out to bring down their heart rate and induce a state of calm. Using a calm, slow, almost hypnotic rhythm and tone, I get the patient to visualize a place they normally feel relaxed in, giving prompts to what they can see, hear and feel. As they breathe deeper in and out, guide them to slowly relax their shoulders and sink deeper into the chair.
“Importantly, the patient is fully conscious throughout the entire process and they can indicate if they want the procedure to stop at any time.”
BRING YOUR OWN ANXIETY RELIEF
Patients can also bring in their own earphones or headphones and listen to their music to help calm them. There are some patients with severe anxiety who still require pharmacological agents to help reduce severe anxiety. These can include minimal sedation in the form of nitrous oxide or oral anxiolytics, here the person will be very relaxed and still conscious enough to be awake and able to answer questions and follow instructions. Other options are available for the more severe anxiety cases which you can discuss with your dentist.
ANXIOUS KIDS
Children learn to be anxious by experience, a traumatic event or vicariously from their parents. A first dental visit for a toothache requiring emergency treatment can be traumatizing, causing the child to become dentally anxious. Dentists recommend bringing children for their first visits once their first tooth appears, so they get used to the sights, sounds and sensations of the dental practice. Setting up a positive first dental visit establishes early trust and rapport for the child. Babies and toddlers can have their first appointments while on their parents laps and cuddle them during the visit to help them feel more safe and secure.

» Parents can talk with their child about the dentist at home, and role play can be a great way to understand what the dentist does.
» Listen and talk to the child about their concerns about dental care.
» Parents are encouraged not to show fear or use words that indicate there is something to be fearful of. For example, avoid the word ‘brave’ –children don’t need to be told to be brave as that indicates that there’s something to be afraid of.
» If the child has a favourite toy, teddy bear or blanket that elicits a feeling of comfort and security, you can bring it to the appointment.
» Positive reinforcements by rewarding children for good behaviour and following instructions at a dental appointment are encouraged, just not with sugary treats.

A CLEAN KITCHEN
With Winter behind us it’s a good time to consider giving the Kitchen a spruce up. The Kitchen is the heart of the home and does all the heavy lifting, along with your self of course. The Kitchen appliances tent to be used more in Winter as we are in doors more and cooking heartier meals.
A CLEAN OVEN
A clean oven heats up quicker, saving on energy bills. It is also healthier, as no old food or contaminates drop into fresh food. A Clean over produces less smoke as grit and grime is not burning. Better food visibility if the glass doors are clean. Hygiene, a clean oven helps prevent the growth of bacteria, mold and does not attract pests. There are great specialty oven cleaning products on the supermarket shelves that can make cleaning a lot easier.
COOKTOPS
Cooktops with the older gas fittings, (the ones with holes) should be checked for grease. Grease can not only burn it can clog or reduce the ports effectiveness causing loss of heat or uneven heat to the clogged side. Grease and greasy films can be tricky to remove with soap and water, you may need a good grease buster.
RANGE HOOD
Your range hood filter also needs a regular clean, it can build up a greasy coating that can catch airborne dirt, fluff and other things, before you know it you have some extra’s dropping into your cooking. Cleaning these is as simple as washing them in hot or boiling water, add degreaser and let soak. Rinse and replace.
SINKS
Once a year you should give your sink drainpipes a clean, over time they can develop a greasy film which if left to grow, yes, I said grow, as it is generally made from old food and waste washed down the sink, it can smell and generally become unhygienic. Wrap a sponge around a wooden spoon handle and give it a wipe, try a good drain cleaner.
A COUPLE OF TIPS:
• It’s sometimes a good idea to heat your oven before cleaning to loosen up grease and grime, so clean when warm.
• Put the racks in the dishwater, use the “hot wash” setting to melt off grease- saves on the fiddly cleaning of each shelf.
FRIDGE FREEZER
Refridgerator, yes this needs a good clean every so often as well. Don’t just wipe the inside as the real nasties live behind the removable shelves, deep in the crisper and freezer. Make sure you get high enough to look into the highest door shelves to ensure they are clean. You generally do not need to turn your fridge off while cleaning it, but remember if the door is left open for an extended period it will loose its standard fridge temperature so before putting food back ensure its back to normal temerature.
BENCH TOPS AND CUPBOARDS.
I know these surfaces may get a regular wipe, but this is a good time to have a good look inside cupboards and see if there is any fluff, dirt or grime that has snuck in over time. Check the underside of any benchtops. Every now and then the benchtops do need more than a wet sponge so a good multipurpose cleaner may help clean and remove stubborn and old grime with less elbow work.
CHOICE Recommended 4 years in a row, Bosisto’s Multipurpose Cleaner is made with pure eucalyptus oil, grown in Inglewood, Victoria. Experience the fresh scent of eucalyptus and a brilliant clean, with no synthetic fragrances or dyes.

Your baby’s smile is one of the best things in the world and keeping it healthy starts earlier than you might think. Strong, healthy baby teeth are essential for chewing food and learning to speak clearly. Baby teeth hold space for the adult teeth that grow underneath. If a baby tooth is lost too early due to decay, the surrounding teeth can shift, making it harder for adult teeth to fit in the mouth. Brushing baby teeth from the first time they appear, sets the foundation for lifelong oral hygiene and kids who learn to take care of their teeth from a young age are more likely to keep up those habits as adults.

Even before your baby’s first tooth appears, you can begin building healthy habits. Gently wipe their gums, tongue, and inside cheeks once a day with a soft, damp cloth. This gets them used to having their mouth cleaned and helps remove milk residue.

TEACHING GOOD HABITS
Let your child get involved as soon as they’re curious and can hold a toothbrush. But remember – they’ll need your help until they’re about eight or nine years old. A good rule of thumb: if they can tie their shoelaces and have earned their pen licence at school, they’re probably ready to brush well on their own (with a bit of supervision). Use a toothbrush that fits their mouth and make sure to brush all surfaces of all teeth – front, back, and the chewing tops – with gentle circular motions along the gum line.
MAKE BRUSHING FUN
Some days will be harder than others, but consistency is key. Try turning toothbrushing into a fun routine:
• PLAY their favourite song
• LET THEM PICK a toothbrush with a favourite character
• MAKE A FUN brushing game or use a sticker chart
• GET THE FAMILY INVOLVED - brushing together as a family builds connection and helps them learn through modelling.
WHEN SHOULD I START FLOSSING MY CHILD’S TEETH?
Once two or more teeth touch, toothbrush bristles can’t reach between them, so flossing becomes essential to remove food and plaque from those tight spaces and prevent cavities. It’s helpful to remember that brushing only removes 60% of food particles from teeth and you need to clean in between to remove the other 40%.
HOW TO FLOSS
1. Use soft dental floss or floss picks. These are a piece of floss on a holder which are often easier to manage
2. Gently slide the floss between the teeth and curve it around each tooth in a “C” shape, moving it up and down to clean both sides
3. Be gentle – children's gums may bleed a little at first but this will stop with regular flossing.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS
1. Make it part of the daily routine –brushing twice a day, flossing once a day
2. Try flossing while they’re lying down or watching TV to make it easier
3. Let them take turns flossing with you to encourage independence and practice.
MOST KIDS DON’T HAVE THE COORDINATION TO FLOSS WELL UNTIL THEY’RE AROUND TEN YEARS OLD, SO THEY’LL NEED YOUR HELP AND SUPERVISION FOR A WHILE.
If your child struggles to keep their mouth open or bites the toothbrush, brush standing behind your child in front of a mirror. Children love watching themselves in a mirror and they can “help” while you do the real cleaning in a “your turn, my turn” game. Try brushing while they’re lying on the couch or on your lap as young children don’t need to clean teeth in a bathroom necessarily, particularly if they are wriggly or have additional needs.
