There are some great advantages to living in the Yarra Ranges – like the open green areas and park lands that encourage us outdoors. You would think that being closer to farms, orchards and nature, might mean we are more likely to be active and eat more fresh fruit and veggies. But this isn’t so.
Eating healthily is often seen as a big change that people make (or don't make). We hear about carb free diets, 5/2 diets (where you eat normally 5 days a week and fast the other 2) and plenty of other drastic changes to how we normally eat that promise to be healthier. In reality, healthy...

Does food actually affect the health of your teeth? If it does, how do we take care of those pearly whites? Did you know that oral health problems are the second most expensive disease group to treat each year Australia wide?
Sometime over the next few weeks, you'll either have to entertain friends and family for a meal, or bring some food with you to an event. I usually put my hand up to bring the bread or drinks because I'm a terrible cook, and it's safer for me and everyone else. But this year, thanks to ...

Before having kids, I was reasonably slim and fit. After my first child, I gained 5 kilos: a little muffin top, and roundness around my hips and thighs. I wasn’t too worried and promised myself I would lose the weight and get back into shape. That was more than ten years ago.
I have always been an emotional eater. It’s just been so normal for me for so long, I figured I had no will power and I was just lazy. Feeling angry, I would eat chocolate, stressed, I would go for the chips, or tired I just ate. With a few too many kilo-joules I decided I needed to do...
Here at Inspiro we love to cook - so we decided to put together a staff recipe book. This is the first recipe from our soon to be released recipe book, and it's a favourite - it's very healthy but it also has plenty of protein (19.6 grams per serve) and only 19.3 grams of carbohydrate per serve.
We’re talking canned goods and leftovers today. I love the convenience of canned goods, and also the ability to use ingredients that you have in storage and might have to throw out otherwise. I also hate wasting perfectly good leftovers, and lets be honest, we all do it from time to time.
This is a healthy, delicious lasagne - perfect for the colder months, perfect for families and perfect fussy eaters.

This is a beautiful dish, something you’d usually have out at restaurants and think to yourself “this is delicious, but surely this is complicated to make.” Well you can now cast those doubts aside as all it takes is less than hour of your time to make this simple Spanish dish!
This weekend, my 8-year-old daughter Sunday and I tried making dietitian Liam's wholemeal cheesy vegemite scrolls. We followed the recipe for the wholemeal flour, and had our vegemite and grated tasty cheese ready.

Tracey Higgins – Inspiro dietitianA common question I get is "what is the healthiest breakfast cereal?" And my answer is.....
Supermarkets are overwhelming and intimidating. You're in a rush and you dash into a supermarket for some basics but you end up spending way more than you'd planned, and probably not on the good healthy stuff.
Being more in control of your eating and your emotions around food seems difficult but it is possible. Improve your eating choices by making easy modifications to your eating.
