The House of Wellness Radio – Full Show 17th December

A healthy Christmas diet, helping teens quit vaping and finding support for food security in Australia – tune into this week’s episode of The House of Wellness radio show for all that and more.

On this week’s The House of Wellness radio show:

Tips for a healthy Christmas diet

The festive season is a great time for good food, but this could also mean packing on a few unwanted kilos if you’re not careful.

Cookbook author and muesli maker Flip Shelton shares his expert tips on healthy eating during the festive season and how to stay merry without over-indulging.

Flip discusses some options for possible meal plans, from the ideal pre-Christmas party food to what you could have for breakfast if you’re planning a large Christmas lunch.

He talks about the smart options to put on your guests’ Christmas plates and what to do with second helpings. Plus, the role of mental health in overeating.

What’s the latest on vaping in Australia

Vaping has become one of many health concerns for parents in the modern era.

With the new vaping legislation set to be effective across Australia from January 1, Quit Victoria director Rachael Andersen explains what this may mean for our youth.

Rachael also reveals just how many young Aussies are vaping and the laws around buying an e-cigarette in Australia. Plus, a list of health risks that comes with vaping.

She also gives parental tips on how to know if your child is vaping and what you can do to help support them quit.

Finding food security for Australians

It seems hard to believe but around 3.7 million Australian households have reportedly struggled to put a meal on the table in the last 12 months.

CEO of Foodbank Australia Brianna Casey talks how the nation’s largest food relief organisation is working to help feed vulnerable Australians, and shares insights on how many people are affected by food insecurity.

Plus, why she doesn’t recommend skipping meals and cutting back to save money on food.

Tune in to discussions on how to access Foodbank and why it’s more than alright to get a helping hand.
