1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: Are you are sweet or a savory person at breakfast time? 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: We've known for some time that they are numerous health 3 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,880 Speaker 1: benefits associated with both a higher protein and a lower 4 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: GI breakfast option, but new research has recently shown when 5 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: it comes to blood glucose control as savory, protein based 6 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: breakfast can actually come up trumps. Hi. I'm Lean Laud 7 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: and I'm Susie Burrow and every week we bring you 8 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: The Nutrition Couch, a biweekly podcast that gives you up 9 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: to date on everything that you need to know in 10 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: the world of health and nutrition, as well as the 11 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: latest on blood sugar control and breakfast. Today we share 12 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: our best tips for managing the winter hunger that is 13 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: well and truly kicked in for many of our clients, 14 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: and our listener question is all about garlic, as the 15 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:46,919 Speaker 1: ultimate winter super food doesn't actually work. So jumping straight in, Susie, 16 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: you found some really interesting research this week that looked 17 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: at blood sugar control following breakfast. So the study was 18 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: called the Effects of a high protein diet at breakfast 19 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: on post perandial glucose levels at dinner time in healthy adults. 20 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: So it's new research published in the Journal of Nutrients 21 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: in January twenty twenty three for anybody that was wanting 22 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: to go and have a look. And it was an 23 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: interesting study, it's probably not something that, I guess, we 24 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: can write into clinical practice. It was only a very 25 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 1: small studied involved twelve young participants, so three men and 26 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: nine ladies. So it wasn't like these guys were injul 27 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: them resistant or in their fifties, or they weren't exercising 28 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: or anything like that. They were healthy young people, so 29 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: we had to take the results with a grain of salt. 30 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: But essentially what it was was a randomized crossover design 31 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: of these twelve young, healthy participants, like they mentioned a 32 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: few times, and they performed four diet trials. So the 33 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: first one was they gave them a normal breakfast and 34 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 1: then they skipped lunch. The second one they gave them 35 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: a high protein breakfast and then they skipped lunch. The 36 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: third diet trial they did a normal breakfast and a 37 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: normal lunch, and the fourth diart trial was a high 38 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: protein breakfast and then a normal lunch, and they did 39 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: that over a two week period. Now all of the 40 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: meals were completely provided to the participant, so that makes 41 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: it I guess like a bit of a better well 42 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: designed trial versus letting them kind of fend for themselves 43 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: with the food. So basically what happened was they hooked 44 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: them up to continuous glucose monitoring during these diet trials 45 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: and they use that to assess their blood glucose level 46 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: during the whole experiment. Now, I don't think that these 47 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: people were diagnosed diabetics or diagnosed with insulin resistance or 48 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: anything like that, so they were healthy individuals. So if 49 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: you yourself have DIPE two diabetes or insulin resistance, you know, 50 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: we need to take these results with a grain of salt. 51 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: But basically it does. It does tell us what we 52 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: sort of already knew that most people healthy or you know, 53 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: struggling with diabetes probably do better with a higher protein, 54 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: lowerg GI breakfast. So essentially, the results suggested that when 55 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: compared with a normal breakfast, a higher protein breakfast option 56 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: suppressed the post perandual glucose level after breakfast a little 57 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: bit more and the one and a half hour after 58 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: lunch glucose readings as well. And then during the lunch option, 59 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: the higher protein breakfast diet also suppressed the dinner and 60 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: the overall glucose levels for the day, but there was 61 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: no significant difference found when those participants actually skip lunch, 62 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: So skipping lunch didn't seem to help the blood glucose control, 63 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: but the higher protein breakfast, a balance lunch, and then 64 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: the dinner did actually seem to help the blood glucose control. 65 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: So I think it kind of I guess Susie tells 66 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,239 Speaker 1: us what we already know, but it's a really good 67 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: reminder that we want to have a nice balance breakfast, 68 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: we want to have a nice balance lunch, and then 69 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: we want to have a nice balance dinner as well. 70 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 1: So it kind of just reaffirmed what we know about 71 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: healthy balance eating. We don't have to do anything crazy. 72 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: We don't have to, you know, completely skip meals or 73 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: cut out all carbs all together. But the balancing of 74 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: the macro nutrients and the timing of our meals, making 75 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: sure that we're having enough time and giving the body 76 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: time to digest the food, not constantly snacking and grazing 77 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: in between all of our meals, they are some of 78 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: the best things that we can do in terms of 79 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: blood sugar regulation. What did you take away from this 80 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: new resep. 81 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 2: Suits Well, I thought It was fascinating because it was 82 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 2: very specific, and I came across it because there's a 83 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 2: girl on Instagram called the Glucose Goddess and she does 84 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 2: some great stuff. She's probably the first. 85 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: I think. 86 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 2: She's a biochemist who has made blood glucose monitoring a 87 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 2: little bit sexy because you and I, as dieticians, know 88 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 2: that glucose control is everything, particularly as we get older. 89 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 2: It has a profound effect over our appetite regulation, our 90 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 2: risk of developing diabetes, our risk of developing inshaw and resistance, 91 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 2: and just how we feel each day, and certainly even 92 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 2: leand cellular aging. You know, even if you don't have 93 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 2: weight issues or issues with glucose regulation, or a family 94 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 2: history of diabetes, even aging. You know, we none of 95 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 2: us want to age prematurely, so our glucose control will 96 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 2: have a high impact over the health of ourselves on 97 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,679 Speaker 2: a daily basis, and as such, how our skin even 98 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 2: looks and feels. So it's really something I would encourage 99 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 2: people to really start to think about. And we've known that, 100 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 2: you know, looking at carbohydrate load is relevant. We've heard 101 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 2: about glacemic index, which is how quickly or how slowly 102 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 2: blood glucose rise or fall after eating carbohydrate based foods. Now, 103 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 2: this was a very interesting study because it compared four 104 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 2: different dietary variables and admitted that it was on normal 105 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 2: weight people. But that is important because we want to 106 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 2: understand long term the effect on glucose control, and anecdotally 107 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 2: I have always said that a savory or not so 108 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 2: sweet breakfast is better for appetite regulation. In my clinical experience, 109 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 2: if you keep away from sweet food in the first 110 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 2: half of the day, I find it much easier as 111 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 2: soon as you hit the ground running with sweet stuff 112 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 2: in the morning, whether it's a bowl of more refined 113 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 2: cereal and plain milk, or plain sour dough with jam, 114 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 2: or just butter, which is primarily carbohydrate and as such sweet, 115 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 2: you know once it goes to digest, or even picking 116 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 2: up something on the go, they're generally very high refined 117 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 2: carbohydrate options. So to me, it just confirmed a belief 118 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 2: I've always had that higher protein is better for glucose control. 119 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 2: But I will also term it as satiety now. I 120 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 2: think one of the key things we want our listeners 121 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 2: to take aways not to say that cereal is bad 122 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 2: toast is bad. What I would say is you've got 123 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 2: to pay attention to the macros of your breakfast mix. 124 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: And if you do prefer things like oats or even 125 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 2: a cereal, you just want to balance that protein out. So, 126 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 2: for example, if you love breakfast cereal or oats, just 127 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 2: make sure you're having it with a high protein yogurt 128 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 2: or sprinkle protein powder on that mix. Or if you're 129 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 2: having a smoothie, make sure it does have some protein 130 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 2: yogurt or adding protein powder. Or if you like playing toasts, sure, 131 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 2: but seek out one of the new higher protein loaves 132 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 2: and spread it with one of the no added sugar 133 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 2: jams that you can find. So there's certainly nutritional ways 134 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 2: around it. But for me, the take home message is 135 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 2: there's certainly evidence growing to show that our overall glucose 136 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 2: control is heavily influenced by that first meal of the day, 137 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 2: and ensuring you've got nutritional balance with at least I 138 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 2: would say twenty grams of protein is my preference. Now, 139 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 2: this study was a little bit unusually and like they 140 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 2: had kind of odd breakfast. It was more like a 141 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 2: salad in the morning with plain yogurt, not necessarily foods 142 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 2: that the average person would have for breakfast. But I 143 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 2: think that the key thing for me is, yes, that 144 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 2: you've got to tick that protein box. And I'll notice 145 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 2: over time my clients will urge towards higher carb options. 146 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 2: So suddenly they'll have a sour dough with ava on 147 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 2: it for breakfast, or they'll have a bowl of oats, 148 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 2: which is fine, but they're not getting anywhere near the 149 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 2: amount of milk, or they're having a plant based milk 150 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 2: like an oat milk or an almond milk, which is 151 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 2: primarily carbohydrate with very little, if any protein. She's got 152 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 2: to constantly be aware of that, particularly women in their 153 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 2: forties and fifties, but also all of us, you know, 154 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 2: as it's proving and we understand more about the power 155 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 2: of glucose control because we all will anyone who has 156 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 2: struggled with weight will know that that feeling of insatiable 157 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 2: hunger and just not feeling satisfied is really sort of 158 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 2: distracting in the day as well. So it's as much 159 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 2: for a performance based eating as it is for weight control. 160 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 2: So I think we'll continue to bring more of these 161 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 2: studies because, as I said, I actually just came across 162 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 2: it because I was following the glucose goddess myself, and 163 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 2: she does reference quite a lot of the material, so yeah, 164 00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 2: it's worth keeping an eye on that, and we'll continue 165 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 2: to come back to it, and yeah, do a quick 166 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,679 Speaker 2: checking your breakfast and higher protein options have a number 167 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 2: of health benefits. Not only are the protein rich foods 168 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 2: tend to be higher in nutrients like calcium and iron, 169 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 2: but now we're understanding perhaps a quite powerful effect on 170 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 2: glucose control right through the day, which is which is 171 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 2: really really important. All rightly, and we're moving on to 172 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 2: a topic that has really been on my mind this week. 173 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 2: And then when I mentioned it to you, you are like, 174 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 2: oh my god, Yes, So I have had a lot 175 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 2: of very hungry clients. Now, maybe it's the time of year, 176 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 2: the temperature has dropped. Maybe it's because we're nearing the 177 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 2: middle of the year and everyone's healing a bit blah. 178 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 2: Maybe it's vitamin D levels dropping so we're not getting 179 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 2: much sunlight. I don't know what it is, but we 180 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 2: thought it just timely to really discuss how you can, 181 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 2: for want of a better description, company without overdoing it. 182 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 2: Because what I'm noticing, and you gave it an example 183 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 2: as well, is my clients are eating much larger volumes 184 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 2: of food than they were before. So they're having the 185 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 2: salad plus and they're having some extra salmon or tuna 186 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 2: with it. Then they're having a couple of crackers, and 187 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 2: then they're having yogurt, and it's just sort of hunger 188 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 2: that goes right through the day and just ends up 189 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 2: to what I would describe over eating trying to satisfy 190 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 2: something that they're not sure what's going on. So my 191 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 2: biggest and greatest take home at this time of year 192 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 2: is a salad is probably not going to cut it 193 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 2: if you're feeling the cold and struggling, because psychologically, we 194 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 2: are often programmed to think of a salad as not 195 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 2: only a summer meal, but a light meal and some 196 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 2: sort of a healthy diet type product, And particularly if 197 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 2: you've been having that through summer and when it's cold outside, 198 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 2: you will feel one hundred percent more satisfied and psychologically 199 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 2: think that you've actually eaten if you have a hot 200 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 2: meal in the day. So it's something we've seen from 201 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 2: research that people in our minds, if you have a 202 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 2: couple of crackers, and even if it's got tuna and 203 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 2: a whole salad with it, you don't necessarily interpret that 204 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 2: as a meal, because to you, that's just it's your food. 205 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 2: Whereas as soon as you sat down and have you know, 206 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 2: some leftover lasan yeah with vegetables, or a baked potato 207 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 2: with tuna or salmon on top, or you know, eggs 208 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 2: on toast or a vegetable omelet, straight away you register 209 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 2: that that is a meal. You sit down to eat it, 210 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 2: it's with a knife and fork. It takes a long 211 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 2: time to eat. And also I believe it's part of 212 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 2: the hotness and the digestion rate and the fact that 213 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 2: those kinds of meals will have a lot more protein 214 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 2: and vegetables psychologically is a lot more satisfying. So if 215 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 2: you're a salad and cracker person or a rat person, 216 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 2: it's time to ditch it if you're struggling with your 217 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 2: appetite and go for something warm. 218 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: So you can. 219 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 2: Literally have an entire toasted protein bread sandwich and a 220 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 2: whole bowl of soup that will come in at less 221 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 2: than five hundred calories and I guarantee you will not 222 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 2: need afternoon tea. But if you've had that same mix 223 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 2: as a salad, so a salad with tuna and some 224 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 2: carbohydrate like corn going in, you will not interpret it 225 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 2: as feeling, even though the nutrient and calorie content's not dissimilar. 226 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 2: So I'm a big fan of the warming lunches and 227 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 2: killing the appetite early so you're not chasing your tail 228 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 2: all day and getting to that terrible munching where you 229 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 2: have a bit here at three, a bit more at four, 230 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 2: and eat all the way through till dinner time. 231 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: And I will say, it's actually a great time to 232 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 1: work with a dietitian through winter, so you come out 233 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: the other side and you're ready for spring and summer, 234 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 1: and you're getting some fabulous results because you and I 235 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: both have clients that are really struggling at the moment. 236 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: It's a massive drop in the weather, it's the rain, 237 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: you know, throw in a period that week as well, 238 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 1: and it's just like all sorts of crazy insatiable hunger. 239 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: So I'm telling my clients the exact same thing. We 240 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: have to go for more of the hotter options, the 241 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: more comfort type food, but really bolked with tons of veggies. 242 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: So my client the other day was like, I just 243 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: wann a toasted sandwich, and I was like, great, let's 244 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 1: do it. Let's use some high protein bread and she 245 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: had a side salad on the side, so that for 246 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: her worked really well. You know, I've got other clients 247 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: who were big into soups at this time of year. 248 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: For a tart as we do a lot of We 249 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: do a lot of slow cooked veggie based curries with 250 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: tons of legumes in them, served with a bit of quinoir, 251 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: that sort of thing. But there's heaps of even higher 252 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: protein soups in the supermarket, Like if you don't have 253 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: time head into Calls or wool wears, there's quite a 254 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: few good brands. Susie and I have showcased quite a 255 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: few of them on our own Instagram accounts, but also 256 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: on the Nuitiution Couch Instagram page and on the Potty 257 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: as well. There's some great high protein soup options as well. 258 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: So you can have your salads if you want, but 259 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: make sure there's a hot component to it. Do you 260 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: want like get one of those road tissery style you know, 261 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: the roast chickens and actually pull off the warm chicken 262 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: rest and put that into your salad if you want, 263 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: or have a nice high protein soup alongside your tuna 264 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: wrap or whatever you're doing. You can balance both options, 265 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: but if you're really feeling like you're not satisfied or 266 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: you are wanting to over snack, it is really time 267 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: to kind of shake up the lunch option. Most of 268 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: us are pretty confident with a hot dinner and even 269 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: a hot breakfast. A lot of people will do, you know, 270 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: porridges and eggs on toast in winter, but it's really 271 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 1: the lunch that Susie and I are both noticing in 272 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: our clients that a lot of them are falling down 273 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: in which is then driving that hunger to snack all 274 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: afternoon or that tends to over eat at dinner time 275 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 1: as well. So make sure if it is genuine hunger 276 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: you're building in an afternoon tea snack, because most people 277 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: are trying to go from lunch to dinner, particularly if 278 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: your lunch is early around twelve o'clock and dinners not 279 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: till seven, seven thirty even later eight o'clock, it's really 280 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 1: really difficult to get that long between meals without actually 281 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: having a snack as well. So packing like a higher 282 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: protein snack and taking that to work is a great 283 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 1: option as well, and then a little bit of a 284 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: lighter dessert that's nice and warming as well. So like 285 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 1: a little hot chocolate, maybe a nice chaied tea. Sousie 286 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: put up a great granola not a granola or baked 287 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: ope recipe. That was the last episode, wasn't it We 288 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:35,559 Speaker 1: talked about like a. 289 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 2: On our Wednesday Motivation short episode. Yet that recipe I'll 290 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 2: be up on our Instagram. 291 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, we could use a little bit of that crumble 292 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: on top of a little bit of yoga, or a 293 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: little bit of crumble on top of a baked a 294 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: baked apple or something like that can be a really nice, lighter, 295 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: warming dessert option as well. So there's lots of options, 296 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: But just take stock of the hunger and recognize, you know, 297 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: is this actual true hunger or do I just feel 298 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: like something that's warming and comforting because it is cold 299 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: and rainy or one period a week or whatever it 300 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: might be. Really ask yourself, is this true genuine hunger 301 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: or am I just craving something more comfort food related 302 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: because it's weather related. And both are okay, but they'll 303 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: probably dictate what choices that you make when it comes 304 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: to meal times as well. 305 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 2: And some of my other favorites. I mentioned eggs because 306 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 2: they're so quick and easy and also budget friendly at 307 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 2: this time of year. I think with the soups, either 308 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 2: opt for a soup like the hindzt protein soup that's 309 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 2: got a decent amount of protein in it, or go 310 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 2: for a plain veggie and then team that with a 311 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 2: toasted sandwich or a toasted wrap. I love leftovers leam 312 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 2: because they're budget friendly. You can keep complete control, like 313 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 2: shits are and roast veggies. Just cook a little bit extra. 314 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 2: Everyone loves that. If you want to make yourself a 315 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 2: tray dish, so you could make a lasagna, only put 316 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 2: two or three sheets of actual pasta through it and 317 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 2: layer it with veggies instead and lean meat. Put loads 318 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 2: of veggies through the sauce. Like that's a great filling 319 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 2: lunch and you have pasta, you'll feel really satisfied. And 320 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 2: you know what else, I'm a big fan of a 321 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 2: frozen meal because from a cost perspective, you know, they 322 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 2: can be pretty good. Like I was in Aldi and 323 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 2: their actual like plate meals like chicken and veggies. You 324 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 2: think it's froze and they're five dollars. The protein was 325 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 2: like twenty one grams, the carb was thirty. You know, 326 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 2: sure it's better if you make your own, but if 327 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 2: you're on a budget, that's a pretty good lunch and 328 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 2: better calorie wise than most of the fast food options. 329 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 2: So there are loads of varieties of things you can 330 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 2: go for and nutritionally, I guarantee you if you're getting 331 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 2: those terrible munchies come through four o'clock and just wanting 332 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 2: to snack the whole afternoon, swap to a hot lunch 333 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 2: and you won't look back. 334 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: And then following on with that winter trend, a listener 335 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: question of the week that came through was regarding garlic supplements. 336 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: So this was a really interesting question because I think 337 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: a lot of times, you know, this time of year, 338 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: people are taking the vitamin. 339 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 2: C, echination, guild. 340 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: Ingxing ye o, olivelyaf Yeah, David's a big fan of 341 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: the olive leave actually, and when I'm saying I don't 342 00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: normally take that, yep. So we're taking a lot of 343 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: supplements of this timing year. But this question was specifically 344 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: around garlic, and I think that there was a very 345 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: interesting article on the news this week Susi, and it 346 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: says that study finds that Australian garlic, not international Australian 347 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: garlic kills the COVID and flu virus with a ninety 348 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: nine point nine percent efficacy, and I thought, all that 349 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: is an interesting study, but it was for a couple 350 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: of reasons. So essentially the people who have done this 351 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: study have not actually published the results, so that's one 352 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: of the first interesting things. But they put out a 353 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: couple of headlines around this right to get the media talking. 354 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: So it was done by the Melbourne's Dougherty Institute and 355 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: it was funded by the Australian Growing Garlic Association basically, 356 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: so there was obviously a little bit of ethical considerations there, 357 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: but essentially what it showed was that they had Australian 358 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: grown garlic and after eighteen months of in vitro testing, 359 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: it actually showed that it killed off ninety nine point 360 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: nine percent, or a threefold increase killing off this CoV 361 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: two and also the influenza diseases by a three log 362 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 1: fold increase, which equated to a ninety nine point nine 363 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: percent efficacy. Basically, it's a bit hard to read because 364 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: it's not the full study hasn't been published, but essentially 365 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: a lot of health authorities have come out dismissing this 366 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: and saying, look, you need to take it with a 367 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,400 Speaker 1: grain of salt. Like. The results haven't even been published, 368 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: so there was a lot of, I guess media talk 369 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 1: around this. But what we do know from a nutrition 370 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: perspective is that garlic is a natural source of prebotic, 371 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: so garlic helps to feed the good back to you 372 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: in our gut. We also know that the majority of 373 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 1: our immune system is made in our gut, so if 374 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: you are someone that constantly gets sick, I would very 375 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: much be looking to support my gut help with natural 376 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: sources of pre and probotic. So I'm big into garlic. 377 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: I don't really recommend that my client's supplement with it. 378 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 1: I just recommend that we throw onion and garlic from 379 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: the prebotic perspective into pretty much every recipe in every 380 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: meal that I give my clients. Like normally, if they 381 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 1: send me a recipe they want to make and it's 382 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: got two cloves of garlic for four or six serves, 383 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,479 Speaker 1: I'll be like, let's up that to six six cloves 384 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: with six serves. You'd like to brush your teeth afterwards, 385 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 1: but you're going to get some great benefits from a 386 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: gut health and immunity perspective. So I just thought this 387 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: was really interesting. I wouldn't be saying, you know, take 388 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,360 Speaker 1: a high strength astrain garlic and that I'll basically give 389 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: you a ninety nine point nine percent chance of killing 390 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 1: off COVID or the flu. I don't think we can 391 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 1: infer that at all. I think the fact that the 392 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: study was funded by the industry body itself. They haven't 393 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: actually published the results, but when you read more into it, 394 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: it does sound like they've taken out a patent against 395 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: this particular strain of garlic, which then they're going to create. 396 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 1: I think it's said in the article either supplements or 397 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,959 Speaker 1: a bit of a garlic oil and then sell that. 398 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: So whether or not they haven't published the results because 399 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: they want to get the patent through first and they 400 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 1: want to be the one selling you know, the supplements there, 401 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 1: or whether there's something potentially a little bit dodgy or 402 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: on ethical in the results, I'm not sure. So I 403 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 1: don't think we can really say that taking garlic will 404 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: basically prevent you from getting anything. But I really don't 405 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,719 Speaker 1: think it's going to harm you. But I also do 406 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 1: think that we should be doing it from a food 407 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 1: first approach like we always recommend. Susie so waking on 408 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: in a garlic into everything. We know that that's one 409 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: of the best things you can do in terms of 410 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: your gut healthy immunity, and I don't think you can 411 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: really go wrong there. 412 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 2: We have known for some time that there's very powerful 413 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 2: antibacterial and microbiobiohal properties of garlic, and actually ginger has 414 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 2: some evidence as well. So I think, like you describe 415 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 2: the concern is that it's not about popping a pill. 416 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 2: You know, this is about the synergistic effects of food. 417 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 2: And certainly we know that any respiratory condition, including COVID, 418 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 2: is a pro inflammatory condition. So as much as we 419 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 2: can factor in a natural anti inflammatory diet and have 420 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 2: that as our based on, it's only going to improve 421 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 2: our immune function. And that is why people who have 422 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 2: COVID or get it several times, the ones who have 423 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 2: other disease states that are pro inflammatory struggle to recover. 424 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 2: To me, that's just you can observe that with people 425 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 2: that we know, whereas of course when we run down, 426 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 2: we get more likely to get colds and fluid if 427 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 2: our baseline diet's not good. You know, I don't think 428 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 2: this is rocket science, which is why when you send 429 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 2: it to me. 430 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: I was like oh, let's be borrowing, isn't it. 431 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 2: But you know, I think it does remind us that 432 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 2: it is a food first approach, and certainly we've known 433 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 2: for many years that people who have that high intake 434 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 2: of those high antioxidant foods. We certainly know there's medicinal 435 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 2: effects of foods like onions, garlic, ginger, you know, all 436 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 2: of those things should absolutely be in the baseline diet. 437 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 2: Would I be rushing out and adding a clove of 438 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 2: garlic to my smoothie? Absolutely not. But like Yulia, and 439 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 2: whenever I cook or make a soup, it's got a 440 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 2: base of onion and garlic, and I would do that 441 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 2: two or three times a week naturally. So if you're 442 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 2: not someone who cooks a lot at home, and you 443 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 2: do eat foods away from the home, and you're starting 444 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 2: to think, actually, I would be months years since I've 445 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 2: had garlic. These are superfood and super staple foods that 446 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 2: we do want to be including, you know, many times, 447 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 2: if not daily, like leafy greens. You know, really the 448 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 2: recommendation for leafy green should be too serves a day, 449 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 2: and few of us, if any, would have that. But 450 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 2: if you want all of the health benefits, that come. 451 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 2: It's not about a tablet or a green juice once 452 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,679 Speaker 2: a week. These are dietary habits, and certainly at this 453 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 2: time of year, if you're someone who's immune depleted, you've 454 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 2: had COVID several times, you're struggling, you should be having 455 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 2: onion a garlic every single day and I'd be cooking 456 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 2: it fresh with loads of veggies and looking at as 457 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 2: a medicinal supplement. To me, that is just a no brainer. 458 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: And really this article did bring home that it was 459 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,719 Speaker 1: an Australian garlic variety as well. So really watching what 460 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 1: you're buying in the shops and at the farmer's markets. 461 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: Hopefully farmers' markets is of course Australian, but when you're 462 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: looking at places like Coals and Willwors and Audi, really 463 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: check to see where the garlic is coming from, because 464 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: I guarantee you a lot of it is internationally imported 465 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: and a lot of it also is bleached white. So 466 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: you want to try and avoid that because I think 467 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: people like consumers naturally think oh white garlic is better 468 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: for some reason, and a lot of people when they're 469 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,360 Speaker 1: importing it actually bleach it. So you want to get 470 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: the most natural form of garlic possible and an Australian 471 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: variety where possible as well. That was a big take 472 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 1: home from this article, Susie. 473 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 2: That's really interesting because I didn't know that and I 474 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 2: don't do that, so that's actually a really powerful tib. 475 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know who we can thank for that, good 476 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: old Sophie. Thanks Mom. Of course she told me about 477 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: the bleaching of the garlic. I didn't know that. 478 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 2: Well, of course it's bleached. I'm just thinking about it, 479 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 2: looking how beautiful it looks. Of course it's bleached. She's 480 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 2: so onto it. So for your legend, we should just 481 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 2: listen to you all the time. 482 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,479 Speaker 1: Dartigian before a time. Thanks Mom hundred seven. All right, 483 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: well that brings us to the end of the nutrition cotch, 484 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,199 Speaker 1: but another week if you haven't done so already. We 485 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: would love if you subscribe to the potty you told 486 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 1: your friends about us. We love to grow, we love 487 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: hearing other people give us positive feedback as well. And 488 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: the brand new peribook that Suzie has taken so much 489 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 1: time and effort to write is available on the nutritioncatch 490 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: dot com under our product pages as well. And we'll 491 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 1: catch you guys in our midweek motivational episode, have a 492 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: garlic field. We
