This week the Australian @heartfoundationau released some updated nutrition advice. Some of this I’ve said before but here’s a summary.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
?Full fat dairy. Recent evidence shows that the dairy fat in milk, cheese and yoghurt does not raise bad cholesterol in the blood. So I’ve said this before but you can eat full fat, reduced or low fat depending on your preference. The exception to this is for those people with heart disease or type 2 diabetes who should still opt for the reduced or low fat varieties. It is also important to bear in mind that full cream products have more calories which is a consideration if you’re trying to lose weight. Butter and ice cream are still to be consumed sometimes and in small amounts.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
?Processed and deli meats including sausages should be avoided. This is consistent with recommendations from the @who.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
?There’s now no limit of eggs for many people, so great to see this one updated as it comes up a lot! The exception again is for those who have heart disease or type 2 diabetes who should limit intake to 7 eggs per week.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
?Eat more legumes, tofu and seafood. This one is a no brainer but we should all make more of a conscious effort to do this.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
?Red meat intake should be limited to <350g per week. This one is important as serve sizes of red meat are often quite large. 1-3 serves per week of red meat is the max depending on how big your serve size is.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
?Not so new is to reduce your intake of processed foods and eat plenty of fruit, vegetables and whole grains.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
?Interestingly the new advice did not reinforce the benefits of nuts and seeds for heart health but we can safely assume that these continue to be good for us! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
