Women’s Nutrition
We have recently established a Women’s Nutrition section on the site. It contains a number of articles (some of which are research papers by our Editor-in-Chief Prof. Mark Wahlqvist) on nutrition topics relating specifically to women. This section will be followed by others on Men’s, Adolescent, Elderly, and Infant/child nutrition.

FAQ’s
We have recently started developing our Frequently Asked Questions section. If you have a question you would like answered in this section, please email us.

HEC Healthy Eating Pyramid
Our experts at the Healthy Eating Club have devised a healthy eating pyramid based on the Asian, Mediterranean and 12345+ pyramids and the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating. You can download and fill in the pyramid to see how healthy your diet really is.

The Healthy Eating Club is offering a short course in Healthy Eating that you can do online, in your own time, and in the comfort of your own home. If you are interested in finding out more about this course, please feel free to send us an email.


Apples. Do they really keep the doctor away?

Is there any truth to the old saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”? Well in fact there is.

Apples are high in vitamins C and E, vitamins with antioxidant properties. However, these vitamins only make up a small proportion of the antioxidants in apples. Apples are also high in phytochemicals such as flavonoids and polyphenols, which reduce oxidation.
