In this episode of Nutrition Science (Short) Bites, Prof Clare Collins and Ilyse Jones discuss the concept of a 'balanced diet'. They talk about how nutrient-dense foods provide essential nutrients, how to boost your intake of them and practical tips for meal planning. They discuss how healthy eating patterns can boost both physical and mental health, as well as skin health, sporting performance and overall well-being. The conversation also covers the challenges of navigating nutrition trends, fads and misinformation, particularly on social media. Listeners are encouraged to use the Healthy Eating Quiz and it's resources on their No Money No Time website to help set New Year nutrition goals and make 2025 the year to eat better and feel better!
