🐟 🌱 Ever wondered about the difference between fish oil and algae oil for your omega 3 needs? Both are excellent sources of essential fatty acids DHA and EPA, but they have key differences

👉🏻 The best form of omega 3 for you depends on your dietary choices and personal values. If you are vegan, vegetarian, or simply looking for a more sustainable and pure option, algae oil is a fantastic choice

👉🏻 If you prefer a traditional source, a high-quality fish oil supplement is a great option

👉🏻 As always, remember to prioritise getting nutrients from whole food first - think fatty fish, walnuts, chia seeds, edamame, flaxseed - use supplements as a supportive tool!

🥑 Eating more plants doesn’t have to be complicated! As a dietitian, I love showing clients how delicious and satisfying a plant-based diet can be

🫘 Swapping out a few meat-based meals a week is a simple way to boost fibre intake, add more vitamins, and explore new flavours

👉🏻 Starting with meat-free lunches can be an easy way to increase more plant-based meals into your diet 🥗

🐟Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin that is an important cofactor in various metabolic processes such as metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and amino acids

▫️The recommended daily intake of vitamin B6 is between 1.3 and 2.0mg/day, which can be found in foods such as poultry, fish, potatoes, fruits and vegetables

▫️Intake of food-based sources of B6 will not cause toxicity, but the use of supplements containing the nutrient potentially can. Vitamin B6 toxicity leads to peripheral neuropathy

▫️Peripheral neuropathy is characterised by tingling, burning, or numbness, usually in the hands and feet, weakness and problems with coordination

▫️Although there is little evidence that supports supplementing vitamin B6 in high amounts, mega-doses of 50-500mg/day of vitamin B have been prescribed by some complimentary practitioners in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome, premenstrual syndrome, and depression, among others

▫️A review by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has found that peripheral neuropathy can occur at doses less than 50mg and the European Food Safety Administration (EFSA) have established a new upper limit of 12mg/day

▫️Protein powders, energy drinks, magnesium and zinc supplements plus other products may be fortified with B6 so check the labels.

▫️There are three forms of vitamin B6 available in products, so when label reading look for these:
pyridoxine hydrochloride
pyridoxal 5-phosphate
pyridoxal 5-phosphate monohydrate

▫️The concerns around supplementing Vitamin B6 once again highlights the benefits of prioritising nutrient intake from whole foods! 🍗 🐟 🥔 🍌

🍕Can pizza fit into a healthy diet? As a dietitian, I believe you can enjoy your favourite foods while nourishing your body

👉🏻 To assist with maintaining health goals, you may choose thin crust over thick crust, load up on veggies, choose leaner sources of meat and halve the cheese 🧀

🥗 By adding a salad, you can increase fibre and volume to your plate, helping you feel full and satisfied with a smaller portion of pizza

💡Remember, a healthy diet is about balance and enjoying all foods in moderation. You don’t have to give up pizza to be healthy!

🔧 Improving your diet doesn’t have to be a complete overhaul! As a dietitian I often see the most sustainable and significant results come from small, consistent changes

🥑 Instead of aiming for perfection, focus on progress. Reading the nutrition panels and choosing the best option is one strategy that can make a big difference over time.
