One of the dietary changes I made since becoming a dietitian is I’m eating more ‘bird food’. Seeds are tiny, but the impacts on our body are massive.

Benefits of seeds

Good source of fibre:

fibre has great anti-inflammatory effect
fibre also helps bulk and soften the stools to maintain bowel health
fibre could help lower your cholesterol level and slow carb digestion

Good fatty acids: flaxseeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds are good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which is another great anti-inflammatory component
Packed with vitamins and minerals (Vitamin E, iron, calcium, magnesium, selenium) to help our energy levels, boost our immune system and keep our bones strong

This Men’s Health Week we wanted to shine a spotlight on the number one cause of death in men (and all Australians) Ischaemic Heart Disease or coronary artery disease - which is a common term for the build-up of plaque (fatty material) in the heart’s arteries, causing them to narrow.

It is possible for people who have chronic Ischaemic Heart Disease to not be aware they suffer from this condition until they experience angina or a heart attack.

While some risk factors are not preventable, such as older age and family history, the good news is that most risk factors can be modified!

30% of a man’s overall health is determined by his genetics. 70% is controllable through lifestyle.*
