Knowledge of basic nutrition principles and behaviours can set you up for a lifetime of good health.
To empower you to take control
of your diet and overall health,
the Health & Wellbeing Unit has
designed the Eat Smart Program,
which is currently being piloted in
the Southern Region.
Health & Fitness Unit Dietician
Wendy Jeffrey said the food we eat
has a significant impact on how we
feel, how well we sleep, our mood
and daily energy levels.
“Healthy eating doesn’t need to
be complicated, she said. “Making
smarter food choices is all about
balance and moderation. You can
easily make some positive changes
to your lifestyle.”
Using the remote coaching
model, the program is being
run at a local level by Eat Smart
Champions who have been
recruited across Southern Region.
The program consists of six
educational modules that are
rolled out on a fortnightly basis
on the intranet. Participants
can access videos and relevant
information on topics such as
nutrition basics, decoding food
labels, successful weight loss
strategies, shift work, alcohol,
and fruit and vegetables.
Eat Smart also includes activities
and resources to support and
promote healthy eating in the
workplace, with recipe books being
developed and links to health
calendar events being collated.
Following the pilot in Southern
Region, the program will be
evaluated by the Health & Wellbeing
Unit before a statewide roll-out.
