Food is medicine. Did you grow up hearing the phrase an apple a day can keep the doctor at bay? Well a growing body of research is starting to prove the power of food as medicine.

Did you know a low-fat, plant-based diet significantly improved insulin sensitivity and, in many cases, helped reverse Type 2 diabetes.

By reducing animal products and upping your intake of whole grains, legumes, and vegetables, it’s possible to not only manage but potentially reverse Type 2 diabetes, naturally. Food really can be the best kind of fuel.

Top 5 Tips to Pack More Plants Into Your Diet:

1. Add greens to everything. Bear with us, it might sound like a tall order but just a couple of handfuls of spinach added to stir-fry or stews, sarmies or smoothies will boost your daily intake of carotenoids, vitamin C, vitamin K, folic acid, iron, and calcium .
2. Choose lentils or beans to add to your mince based dishes. If you switch to using half lentils, half meat in your bolognese sauce you're exchanging saturated fat for fibre and will save a pretty penny while you're at it.
3. Don't throw out those browning banana. Before they turn, chop them up and throw them in the freezer so you have a handy frozen fruit for quick smoothies or dessert toppings.
4. Try a ‘Meatless Monday’. Making small changes to your diet can have a positive impact on your health. A study of more than 200,000 participants found that replacing just one serving of red meat per day with a serving of legumes or nuts helped to lower the risk of Type 2 diabetes by 30%.
5. Keep a stash of veggie-packed meals in the freezer - hello Lilah's kitchen!!

Walk into any supermarket or scroll through social media, and you’ll be bombarded with products boasting high protein content; from powders and bars to water and even cereal. But what’s behind this surge in protein popularity? Is it just clever marketing feeding a multi-billion dollar industry, or is there genuine merit to the craze?

At its core, protein is essential. It’s one of the three macronutrients (alongside carbohydrates and fats) that our bodies need in significant amounts and without them, we literally couldn’t function. But while protein is vital, most people already get enough of it through a balanced diet. So why the obsession?

The multi-billion dollar market of powders, bars, and protein-infused everything is driven by the fitness and diet industries. While high-protein diets can aid satiety and support muscle growth, the hype often overshadows the facts.

Whole, natural, plant-based options like lentils, oats, and seeds are a sustainable and heart-healthy way to fulfill all your protein needs. The protein craze may be loud, but a balanced plate speaks louder.

Why are childhood chronic diseases so prevalent? This is just one of the questions the US Food and Drug administration is asking as it sets out it's new priorities. Putting the politics of the head of the FDA, surgeon and best-selling author Martin “Marty” Makary aside, it feels long overdue...

Eating better doesn’t have to mean eating bland. A wholefood, plant-based diet can be colourful, creative, and comforting. Start small: add more veg, swap refined grains for oats or pulses like lentils and beans, and try one meat-free meal a week. Your body (and tastebuds) will thank you.
