Diet and Nutrition Tips
Carbs Are Not the Enemy
Carbohydrates are the body’s go-to source of energy for both movement and thinking, and they’re especially important during growth.
Cutting them too low often leads to kids feeling flat, tired, and cranky by the afternoon.

You Don’t Need Fancy Superfoods to Eat Well
Eating well doesn’t mean shopping at expensive stores or buying special powders.
Simple staples like oats, bananas and eggs often do the job just fine.

Fruit’s Not ‘Too Sugary’—That’s a Myth
Whole fruit comes with fibre, water and nutrients that help the body process natural sugars slowly.
Unless it’s causing discomfort, there’s no need to cut fruit from a balanced day of eating.

Feeling Bloated Doesn’t Mean You’re Doing It Wrong
If someone’s been eating more fibre than usual, some bloating is completely normal at first.
It usually passes once their gut adjusts to new foods and starts handling them more easily.

Hunger Is Not a Weakness
Hunger is just your body’s way of asking for what it needs—it’s not a failure.
Treating it kindly and responding with food helps more than trying to ignore it.
Gut Health Isn’t Just About Yoghurt
Yoghurt is great, but there’s a lot more to gut health than just probiotics. Fibre quantities and types, pre-biotics and many other factors can play a big role.
Even adding one extra veggie a day can be a good first step.
