    The advice is pretty good and most of us would agree with it. Are you one of those that are genetically disposed to a healthy long life or are you one of those that isn't'. We don't know, however a lifestyle full of the right foods, exercise, engagement, and many other good habits will in many...

    Discover the staple foods a dietitian always keeps in her kitchen for quick and healthy meals

    The post is half right. No need for fruit (unless its berries) too much sugar and fructose. No need for starchy vegetables as they are too high in carbs. No need for bread or any grains or cereals as they are too high in carbs and inflammatory to our bodies. Never, ever use vegetable oils of...

    Discover the staple foods a dietitian always keeps in her kitchen for quick and healthy meals

    Would totally agree with you Lizzie. The problem with Dieticians and Nutritionists is that they profess foods that are still part of the CSIRO food pyramid which is all rubbish now. They have not researched or explored enough, and just pass on information that they see as the normal standards...

    Veggie's Crazy Mixed Up Tomato Chicken and Pasta

    Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant believe it. Someone has posted a recipe that is very healthy!!!!!!!! However, to make it perfect, you must remove the pasta and replace it with more olive oil. The more better-quality fat in the dish the better. Also even better again use your own homemade...

    Have you tried Woolworths’ new fairy bread hot cross buns yet?

    Eating a Hot Cross bun or two at Easter is fine, eating a little Xmas pudding at Xmas is fine, but that's where it should end. This sort of food and other similar sugar and carb packed foods are what people are eating regularly. They do this under their own perceived banner of 'I eat in...

    There are a number of discussion points that can be raised in terms of this incident. In fact, this would be a great training scenario whether it be for car drivers, truck drivers, cyclists or just as importantly for learner drivers/riders for the above vehicles (I include learner riders of...

    Aussie shoppers are shocked by the rising prices of chocolate this Christmas season

    I suppose in a nutshell, you would do well not having chocolate at all given all the sugar it contains (apart from the 85% or higher dark chocolate which in small proportions can be very good for you). Remember some people will say moderation but most don't know what that means. One small...

    ALDI’s unbelievable kitchen sale starts just in time for Christmas

    Last Christmas at about this time I bought 6 x Turkey Breast Roasts at $14 each. About 1 month ago they released the roasts again and I bought another 6 x Turkey Breast Roasts for $18 each. I now note in their catalogue that they have Turkey Breast Roasts for $25 each. This time last year 6...

    Were you affected by the Optus outage? Make your voice heard now!

    There's no doubting that having a mobile phone for immediate communication is of great benefit to us all as is the ability to undertake a whole host of things on the internet. As has been expressed before, one wonders how we managed without those things in times gone by. The fact remains we...

    Ask Joy: Learning to Live with Anxiety

    Very good article, with some positive and well-known ways to treat the issue. The one thing from my experience and research that I can add and is extremely useful is the ketogenic diet. This diet is based on deriving your bodies energy from ketones which are produced in the liver. Ketones are...

    This common Australian habit often grosses out tourists

    I meant to say the cracks on the soles of your 'feet' not shoes. Sorry

    This common Australian habit often grosses out tourists

    Each to their own and entering a shop or house barefooted with black sooty feet which have picked up a whole host of baddies is no different to entering a shop or a house with the soles of the shoes having picked up the same. However, from my perspective it looks unsightly and dirty. The grime...

    Woolworths launches new mango range with flatter, smaller seeds and even sweeter taste!

    To a certain degree you are correct in the fact that they are a lower GI food. The fructose is a separate issue and one that can create all sorts of problems. My advice would be for someone with Diabetes is to not eat them at all. You don't need them; in fact, you don't need fruit (commonly...

    Garlic Butter Salmon

    Very good contents. Very healthy and will keep insulin spikes low as well as provide some good omega 3's. It could be argued that there is not enough fat in it to be just right, but that can be another discussion. At least this post is very refreshing.

    New photo from Woolworths confirms a downturn for one cult beverage

    Great!!!! Should be more of it. Research the ingredient list of these types of drinks and many others and you will see that the concoctions used contribute greatly to how our bodies become insulin resistant and very harmful to adults as well as children. The effects are not only limited to...

    Why are Australians trading in their blinds for these incredible DIY ‘sheer’ curtains?

    Let the company selling this product do their own advertising and let them do it on another forum not this one. This is not important and should not be what SDC is all about. Just provide a snapshot if you really want to and lead the reader to the company's website for further research.

    Sick of squeaky wiper blades? This Australian wiper blade brand is giving car dealerships a run for their money

    It seems as though SDC have just handed the responsibility for the content of this post to the company marketing and selling this product. Or for that matter, given the rigor of the content SDC makes it appear like they are part owners of the company. No need to go into sales pitches, long...

    Woolworths roast chickens are now priced…WHAT?

    I don't think this is a post that is of any use to anyone and is a waste of opportunity to post something that really matters. If the post is intended to create discussion, anxiety in some, or just general banter then SDC should re-visit the purpose for this website. This is not what this site...
