Being raised in an Adventist home had a huge influence on my career choice. 🌱

I learned about health and nutrition long before I entered a classroom. Church planted the seed, and university simply helped me refine the skills. 🤭

Let’s talk lentil soup! 🥣

Lentils are an excellent source of plant-based protein, iron, and fibre. When you add vegetables such as carrots, green peppers, and red peppers, you’re not only boosting the nutrient content and antioxidants, but you’re also increasing vitamin C, which helps your body absorb the iron from the lentils more effectively.

And here’s a little nutrition tip: adding turmeric and a pinch of black pepper can enhance the benefits even further. Black pepper contains piperine, which improves the absorption of curcumin—the active compound in turmeric known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Simple ingredients, powerful nutrition. 💚✨

The Gauteng Department of Health has reported a concerning rise in hypertension among young adults under the age of 45. Over the past year, more than 60,000 new cases of hypertension were recorded. Key contributing factors include unhealthy eating habits, physical inactivity, overweight and obesity, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption.

Dietitians play a vital role in the prevention and management of hypertension through nutrition education, lifestyle counselling, and the promotion of healthy behavioural changes. By encouraging balanced diets, reduced salt intake, regular physical activity, healthy weight management, smoking cessation, and responsible alcohol consumption, dietitians help reduce the burden of hypertension and improve overall health outcomes within the community.
Please consult with your dietitian for better outcomes
