Dietitian Joelle Farha

I have been working with Nawfal Clinics since 2008 as a clinical dietitian among their medical team.

Meet Joelle, a Registered Clinical Dietitian and Food Service Consultant, here to answer all your questions about nutrition, fitness and food safety, helping you lead a healthy balanced lifestyle and keeping you updated with the latest nutrition tips! In the past 9 years of private practice, I consulted a wide range of clients, but tend to specialize in the area of weight management and sports performance nutrition for athletes. My role is to provide holistic care to patients by assessing them individually based on dietary needs or restrictions, and recommend a meal plan to them and to their family members/caregivers. I also assist them in making healthier adjustments in their eating habits. I offer useful food guidance for customers and patients by interpreting scientific studies

My clients’ goals and concerns are on top of my priorities, that's why I tailor my message to specific audience despite their different needs and varied abilities to understand information. I strongly believe that to benefit from exercise to the full potential, you need to be well-fuelled. Personalized nutrition is how you maximize your general health and sports performance. I was fortunate enough to be involved with the Beirut Marathon Association for 3 consecutive years. As a dietitian in their radio show at rotana delta station, I was giving people and athletes, on a weekly basis, tips and recommendations about all sports-nutrition related issues. In my work with the Lebanese army in the military hospital since 2008, i was giving personalized diet plans and one-on one counseling for officers, soldiers and their families. Through evidence based recommendations, i have helped thousands to live healthier. I participated in the Third Arab Military Seminar of Sports Medicine (25-30 January 2010), as a lecturer. I was also a member of the organizational team in the Francophone Games that was held in Beirut in 2009. As a Human Resource Manager, hygiene & quality control in the Food & Beverage department, I was responsible of recruiting 120 employees to produce 4000 meals/day to people from different nationalities, satisfying many different tastes.

Stuffed baked potatoes offer various benefits, providing a balanced and satisfying meal.

They deliver a good dose of potassium, fiber, and vitamins from the potato itself, while the stuffing can contribute additional nutrients like protein, vegetables, and healthy fats. The flexibility in choosing toppings allows for customization, making it a versatile and enjoyable option for a nutritious meal.

Eggplants, also known as aubergines, offer several nutritional benefits:

1- Low in Calories: Eggplants are low in calories, making them a good choice for weight management.
2- Rich in Fiber: They are a good source of dietary fiber, which aids digestion and can help with weight loss.
3- Antioxidants: Eggplants contain antioxidants like anthocyanins, which may help protect cells from damage.
4- Vitamins and Minerals: They provide vitamins and minerals, including vitamin K, vitamin C, vitamin B6, folate, potassium, and manganese.
5- Heart Health: The fiber, potassium, and antioxidants in eggplants can support heart health by lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
6- Blood Sugar Management: Some studies suggest that compounds in eggplants may help regulate blood sugar levels.
7- Cancer Prevention: Eggplants contain phytonutrients like nasunin and chlorogenic acid, which have been studied for their potential cancer-fighting properties.
8- Weight Management: Due to their low calorie and high fiber content, eggplants can be a part of a balanced diet for weight management.

Remember to cook eggplants healthily, as frying or excessive oil use can negate some of their nutritional benefits. Grilling, roasting, or baking with minimal oil is a healthier cooking option.
