"Supermarket Sunday" is all about sharing fun food products. These tins have extra calcium in them (added calcium powder made from the bones of tuna). A regular tin of tuna has around 10mg of calcium. These ones have 1000mg! Here are some fun facts to put it into perspective:
🐟 Teens need 1300mg calcium every day
🐟 Men under 70yrs and women under 50 yrs need 1000mg daily
🐟 Women over 50yrs and Men over 70yrs need 1300mg daily
🐟 A cup of milk has 260mg calcium
🐟 1 cup of cooked spinach has 87mg calcium
🐟 A whole cup of almonds has 320mg calcium

There are 206 bones in our body - and we have to look after them!
Nutrition plays a big part in keeping our bones strong:
💪Meet your daily calcium requirements through food and drinks. Speak to your doctor and me if you are concerned about getting enough.
💪Get some daily sunshine to keep your vitamin D levels in check
💪Eat enough to fuel your exercise and to keep your body functioning at its best. Not eating enough can affect your bone health.

Today is Stop Food Waste Day! Did you know Aussies waste 7.3 million tonnes of food every year? That's 298kg per person, per year 🌿🌳 I have to make a conscious effort to make sure I waste as little as possible. It's not easy. Here are some of my most common ways I try and reduce my carbon footprint. I'd love to hear your tips and tricks too.

Getting your favourite Anzac biscuit recipe ready? Here are some more reasons to love oats! Don't forget - they are so versatile and can be added to lots of your current recipes. I add oats to: smoothies, burger patties (in place of breadcrumbs), fruit crumbles, fruit and yoghurt bowls, bliss balls.... the list is endless. Grains & Legumes Nutrition Council

I want to give a big shout out to Ben who recently completed a 3-day remote off-track hike. Ben put his recently acquired nutrition skills to good use and finished the hike in great spirits despite the challenging weather conditions! Great job Ben 🙌👌👍
