Podcast Nutrition Science Bites with Prof Clare Collins and Guests Ilyse Jones and Tim Collins - The Nutrition Science Bites Backstory with Ilyse Jones! Plus where the #NSB music came from with Tim Collins

Prof Clare Collins is host of the conversational podcast, Nutrition Sciences Bites. Her expertise in nutrition research and science communication make her the perfect dietitian to translate cutting-edge nutrition science into what to eat and drinks (and foods to put in your supermarket trolley). Prof Clare is also the driver behind the No Money No Time website. She chats with NMNT Program Manager, Ilyse Jones, about the backstory behind NMNT. Clare also chats with her music composer brother Tim Collins about the Nutrition Science Bites music. Tim talks about how he tried to create a piece of music that sounds like nutrition having a meeting with science hosted by a busy kitchen.

What is healthy eating?

Eating healthy is making sure you enjoy a wide variety of foods from each of the five major food groups daily, in the amounts recommended. The five major food groups as recommended by the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating are:

  1. vegetables and legumes/bean
  2. fruit
  3. lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts and seeds, legumes/beans
  4. grain (cereal) foods, mostly wholegrain and/or high cereal fibre varieties
  5. milk, yoghurt, cheese and/or alternatives, mostly reduced fat.

Foods are grouped together because they provide similar amounts of key nutrients and eating a variety of foods from the list above helps to promote good health and reduce the risk of disease.

How do I improve my diet?

If you want to improve your diet you have come to the right place. By completing the Healthy Eating Quiz you’ll receive instant personalised feedback and a report on your diet quality to highlight any areas where you can improve your overall eating habits.

On top of this we will provide quick, cheap and healthy recipes as well as credible answers to diet hacks, myths and FAQ’s.

Is my diet healthy?

Dietary habits are different between people. Some people choose to follow a particular diet (i.e., Keto diet or vegan diet) while some have to make changes due to certain food restrictions or health conditions. If you want to know if what you usually eat is healthy, then do the Healthy Eating Quiz today to give you the answers in less than 10 minutes.

Why is healthy eating important?

Your HEQ score and personalised feedback report is based on the frequency and variety of healthy core foods you usually eat. This is important because no single food contains all the nutrients we need to stay healthy. Some foods are higher in nutrients than others and people who have a lot of variety in the foods they eat are more likely to be healthy and to stay healthy. In other words, if you can eat a large variety of vegetables as opposed to only 2-3 types of vegetables, the benefits are much greater. This type of diet also helps you to feel better, think better and perform better during your usual daily activities.
