🌍 Global Micronutrient Crisis 🍊🥛🧂
Over half the world's population isn't getting enough vital micronutrients like calcium, iron, and vitamins C & E, according to a new global study led by Harvard, UCSB, and GAIN — published in The Lancet Global Health.

🔬 This is the first-ever study to assess micronutrient intake by age and s*x in 185 countries, highlighting widespread deficiencies that can lead to serious health issues like blindness, immune dysfunction, and pregnancy complications.

📉 Key findings:
🔸 68% lack iodine
🔸 67% lack vitamin E
🔸 66% lack calcium
🔸 65% lack iron
🔸 Women face higher risks for vitamin B12, iron & iodine deficiency
🔸 Calcium intake is critically low among ages 10–30, especially in Asia & Africa

💡 These insights are crucial for shaping food policies, health strategies, and interventions worldwide.

🧬 Nutrition = Health. Let’s prioritize it.

Helping Kids Have a Healthier Relationship with Sugar 🍓🥦

Wednesday morning, my 4-year-old son and I had a great chat on 3RPP FM with Rachel Singleton at 8:30am AEST, talking about how we can help kids reduce their processed sugar intake.

We discussed how much sugar is hidden in our staples, why artificial sweeteners aren't the answer, and how we manage cravings in our home. Here's the simple 3-step approach we follow:

1. Pause and ask: Am I just thirsty?
Often, cravings are actually a sign of dehydration.

2. Choose something natural.
Fresh fruit, natural yogurt (no preservatives), or dried fruit without added sugar.

3. Still hungry? Go for a complete nutrition meal.
That means something homemade (or carefully selected when out) using real ingredients and celebrating VCP: Vegetables, Carbs, and Protein.

If we overdo it on chocolate or ice cream (because life happens!), we don’t get harsh on ourselves. We simply return to a complete, nourishing meal next time. It keeps us balanced and feeling good.

We also stay active and move our bodies daily to help stabilise sugar levels and metabolise food well.

Most importantly, kids learn by watching. When they see us consistently making healthy choices, they naturally pick up those habits too.

Let’s raise a generation that understands how to fuel themselves well 💪🌱
