Iron plays a key role in energy levels, concentration and overall wellbeing. If you’re feeling flat or tired, small food changes can make a big difference.
Choose iron-rich foods regularly
Include foods like lean red meat, chicken, fish, eggs, lentils, chickpeas, tofu and iron-fortified cereals as part of your usual meals.
Pair iron with vitamin C
Vitamin C helps your body absorb iron more effectively. Try adding fruit or vegetables such as oranges, berries or tomatoes to meals and snacks.
Be mindful of iron blockers
Tea, coffee and large amounts of calcium can reduce iron absorption. Enjoy these between meals rather than with main iron-rich meals when possible.

If chewing or swallowing is difficult (often called dysphagia), a texture modified diet can reduce choking risk and make eating more comfortable. But changing texture can also make it harder to meet nutrition needs that’s where our dietitians step in.

Here’s how we support you (or someone you care for):
Nutrition check: making sure meals still meet energy, protein, fibre and fluid needs
Food fortification: simple, budget-friendly ways to boost nutrition (e.g., adding extra protein/healthy fats) without increasing volume
Meal ideas that work: suitable options for soft, minced & moist or puréed styles that still taste good
Team approach: working alongside speech pathologists and support staff so texture and safety guidelines are followed consistently

Malnutrition isn’t just “not eating enough”. It can happen when the person doesn’t meet their energy and/or protein requirements. Malnutrition can happen in all shapes and sizes, and you can’t always tell someone is malnourished by just looking at them.

Common signs to look out for:
Unintentional weight loss or clothes/jewellery becoming looser
Not finishing meals
Tiredness, weakness, or reduced strength
Loss of muscle (arms/legs looking thinner)
Slow wound healing or getting sick more often
Trouble chewing or swallowing, or avoiding certain textures

Risk Factors of Malnutrition:
Older age
Poor appetite
Limited cooking skills
Loneliness
Poor memory or dementia
Cost of food

Malnutrition is often preventable and treatable with practical, affordable food strategies. Think nourishing snacks, higher-protein choices, and small changes that fit daily life.

Myth! Frozen vegetables can be just as nutritious as fresh and sometimes they’re an even more reliable option for nutrients.

Here’s the fact:
Most vegetables are snap-frozen soon after harvest, which helps “lock in” nutrients like vitamin C, folate, and antioxidants. Fresh veg is brilliant too but it can lose some nutrients the longer it sits in transport or in the fridge.

Why frozen veg is a winter winner (and budget-friendly):
Affordable and often cheaper than fresh
Less waste (use what you need, save the rest)
Always available even when fresh options are limited
Quick and easy for simple meals and snacks

Easy ways to use frozen veg:
Stir through soups, stews, and casseroles
Add to scrambled eggs, omelettes, or fried rice
Toss into pasta sauces or microwave as a side
Blend into smoothies (spinach is a great add-in)

At My NutriHealth Tasmania, we make nutrition practical and achievable.

Colder weather can mean more time indoors, less sunlight, and busy routines so it’s a great season to prioritise everyday nutrition that supports your immune system and energy levels.

Try building winter meals around these immunity-supporting essentials:
Protein at each meal (eggs, beans, lentils, fish, lean meats, tofu) to help your body maintain and repair tissue and muscles.
Vitamin D + calcium foods (tinned salmon/sardines, eggs, milk/fortified alternatives).
Omega-3 fats (salmon, trout, chia, flax, walnuts) to support overall health.
Colour + fibre (frozen veg count!) for antioxidants and gut health — think pumpkin, spinach, carrots, berries.
Immune-friendly pantry boosters like garlic, ginger, turmeric, and herbs for flavour in soups, curries, and tray bakes.
At My NutriHealth Tasmania, our dietitians support children, adults, older people and those living with disability to build practical, affordable eating habits that suit real life.

If your tummy’s been feeling a bit unsettled lately - bloated, sluggish, or just “not quite right” the best place to start is usually the basics. Think regular meals, a bit more fibre, and enough fluid to help everything move along comfortably.

A simple gut-friendly day might look like oats or wholegrain toast in the morning, vegetables and legumes worked into lunch or dinner (even a small serve counts), and a yoghurt with live cultures as an easy snack. If you’re increasing fibre, go slowly and pair it with extra water because sudden changes can sometimes make symptoms feel worse before they feel better.

If digestion issues keep popping up, it can really help to get a personalised plan (especially when training hard, managing health conditions, or if appetite and routine are changing).

At My NutriHealth Tasmania, our Accredited Practising Dietitians provide practical, affordable nutrition support including elite sports dietetics, disability dietetics, and older persons nutrition care.

Cooler days make meal prep so much easier one cook-up can cover quick lunches, weeknight dinners, and emergency freezer meals.

Here are a few simple autumn batch-cooking ideas (mix and match):

1) Big-batch soup or stew
Pumpkin, lentil, minestrone, chicken & veg, or beef & veg.
Tip: blend part of it for a creamy texture (no cream needed) and add beans/lentils for extra staying power.
2) Chilli or curry base
Make a pot of bean chilli or chicken/veg curry.
Use it with rice, wraps, baked potatoes, or nachos-style bowls.
3) Tray bake “cook once, use twice”
Roast seasonal veg (pumpkin, carrot, potato, broccoli) + a protein (chicken, tofu, chickpeas).
Turn leftovers into: grain bowls, wraps, pasta toss-throughs, or a quick frittata.
4) Breakfast prep (yes, it counts!)
Overnight oats, chia pudding, or egg/veg muffins = grab-and-go mornings and fewer snack cravings later.

Smart storage in 3 steps:
Cool quickly → fridge within 2 hours
Portion into single serves (great for busy days)
Label with name + date (future-you will thank you)
Need a plan that fits your routine (and budget) whether you’re fuelling training, supporting health goals, or planning easy meals for the week? My NutriHealth Tasmania can help.

𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 – 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆
MYTH
With the hype around green juice cleanses, daily electrolyte sachets, collagen powders and “superfood” stacks, it can feel like you need extras to be well.

FACT
For most people, the biggest health wins still come from food-first basics not trends.
Here’s the relatable reality:
Green juices can be a nice add-on… but they’re not a shortcut. Juicing often removes a lot of the fibre that helps keep you full, supports gut health, and steadies blood sugar.
Electrolytes are useful in specific situations (long/hot training sessions, heavy sweating, illness-related fluid loss) but for everyday hydration, water + meals usually does the job.
Many supplements can be expensive, unnecessary, or the wrong dose for your needs.

Food-first “everyday essentials” that really support health:
Regular meals (helps energy, cravings and concentration)
Protein at meals (muscle, recovery, fullness)
Fibre-rich foods (veg, fruit, wholegrains, legumes)
Calcium-rich options (bone support)
Healthy fats (hormone and heart support)

When supplements can make sense:
A confirmed deficiency, limited intake, higher needs, swallowing/appetite issues, or performance goals where targeted support is appropriate guided by a professional, not a trend.

At My NutriHealth Tasmania, our Accredited Practising Dietitians help you cut through the hype and build a realistic plan including smart, targeted strategies for performance nutrition, everyday wellbeing, and changing nutrition needs over time.
