Feast For Health Dietitians

Do you have an affiliation with an AGED CARE facility?

If so, we’d love you to recommend our Feast for Health Aged Care Dietitians to them!

We are qualified and experienced in providing the new mandatory yearly service “Menu and Mealtime Quality Assessment”. This comprehensive audit helps to dramatically improve the Menu for our older Australians in care, as well as to ensure a positive meal time experience for them. This is such an essential part of ensuring their health and well-being during this important time of their lives.

Facility managers or anyone wanting more information, please call our owner Lori on 0431907091, or email lori@feastforhealth.com.au

FUN FOOD FACT: 'A' is for ALMOND!
Almonds are a nut that are rich in healthy fats, fibre and plant protein. Almonds are a great source of Vitamin E which is a key antioxidant in the body. It's also a good source of calcium and B-group vitamins too.
Why not sprinkle a handful to your salad for some extra crunch, sprinkle some roasted almonds over your next curry or simply grab a handful on-the-go as a snack to help cut those hunger pangs!

FUN FOOD FACT: 'B' is for BEETROOT!
This beautifully vibrant vegetable is one of the best sources of dietary nitrates which play a key role in helping to relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure! Beetroots are a great source of folate and phytonutrients, which give them antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Try adding raw beetroot to homemade dips for a vibrant purple colour, grated raw beetroot to wraps or sandwiches or even roast them up with some extra virgin olive oil!
