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