Breastfeeding or formula, and starting solids - How to feed your baby the best way

Breastfeeding or formula, and starting solids - How to feed your baby the best way

Jaime Rose Chambers
By
The first week of August is World Breastfeeding Week and aims to raise awareness about the importance of breastfeeding. Feeding your baby can be a breeze for some, and a real challenge for others. Breastfeeding has been shown to have many health benefits, but many parents choose not to or cannot and so formula feeding is an absolute necessity. Then at 6 months it’s time to begin solids, which brings many of its own challenges and decisions as to the approach you choose to take. Ultimately there are some foundation guidelines to follow for optimum growth and development when it comes to feeding bub, but the remainder of it can be both a personal choice as well as determined by bub and what they need and when they’re ready.

By
When it comes to breast cancer, we can’t control risk factors such as genetics and age, but certain diet and lifestyle factors we can. More women these days are surviving breast cancer and research is showing that there are some specific things we can do, such as eating more plants, exercise and limiting alcohol, that may either prevent breast cancer developing, and it’s recurrence and survival after a diagnosis.

Nutrition and Osteoporosis

Nutrition and Osteoporosis

Jaime Rose Chambers
By
Our bones form our physical structure, they hold us upright and keep us moving. When our body takes calcium from our bones to use in the body and doesn’t have the nutrients available from our diet to replace them, over time bone becomes brittle. This leads to osteopenia, and the more serious, osteoporosis and increases the risk of bone fractures. It’s estimated 1 million Australians have osteoporosis. We can’t reverse it but we can make some diet and lifestyle changes to stop further bone loss and potentially build back some bone.

Jaime Rose Chambers

Alcohol has long been part of many cultures and is still an integral part of many celebrations and events. It’s often also abused and used in excess, at the least making you feel pretty awful, and at its worst, can be fatal to you and to others, such as from road accidents and domestic violence. After decades of research and data collection, The World Health Organisation has recently released a statement on the safest level of drinking and guidelines to keep you and others around you safe from alcohol harm.

Hypertension and Diet

Jaime Rose Chambers
By
High blood pressure occurs when the force of blood pumping through the arteries is considered too high and puts pressure on the vessel walls. This can make you feel dizzy and give you a headache, but long term it can lead to serious health conditions like stroke, heart disease and kidney disease. Diet plays an integral role in controlled blood pressure and one of the best diets in the world, known as the DASH eating plan has been shown to be comparable with medication in helping to reduce blood pressure.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome IBS - What is it and how to manage it

Jaime Rose Chambers
By
IBS is short for irritable bowel syndrome. It is considered a chronic functional bowel disorder that is characterised by several symptoms that affect the functioning of the small and large intestine such as such as pain, cramping, bloating and gas, constipation or diarrhoea, or both as well as urgency with defecation. Symptoms may come and go over time and new symptoms may emerge – they may be quite mild but also severe. This can make managing IBS really tricky and often quite stressful.
