Are you looking to keep up with food, beverage and nutrition trends? As dietitians we love helping people unlock the power of food for health and wellness. Our team is on top of food and nutrition movements and we know how to translate the latest science on key trends. Here we share some highlights that are of interest to many of our clients.
- Fragmented food communities
Consumers are splitting into ‘tribes’ to meet their health goals based on philosophies and preferences. Wellness communities are emerging that bring people closer together. - Food as medicine
What’s a fact what’s a myth? Celebrity opinions, friends/family, blogs and social media influence food choices but there are risks! Personal beliefs and opinions may be confused with scientific evidence and hold people back from achieving their health goals. To unlock the power of food for health, look for credible science based facts from registered health experts. - Fat has rehabilitated
What are healthy fats and how are they good for you? Discover fat quality for health and culinary arts. - Protein sources are pivoting
Plant forward proteins are all the rage, but do you know how to get enough? What’s happening to meat, dairy and alternatives? - Carbohydrates are under the microscope
Are all sugars created equal? Discover the dietitians’ Carb quality meter for best bets. - Vitamins, Minerals and phytochemicals have important health impact
Vitamins and Minerals are powerful partners in health & wellness. Which are of key public health significance? Determine the latest science behind other food compounds such as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. - Shifting focus to food relationships & mental health
Healthy eating is about so much more than food – how people eat is important too. Look for mindful eating, enjoying food and the power of planning to eat well and live well. - Digestive comfort
Get to know your microbiome & how to be a good host to your friendly gut bacteria. - Taking care of our planet
Sustainability and waste reduction are here to stay. What can you do to make a positive difference? - Taking care of people – health and wellness as a business strategy
The future is bright for integrating health science and wellness into workplaces. From recruiting to retention and employee assistance programs (EAP) dietitians help people and businesses unlock the power of food for healthy living.
