How can dietitians help protect the health of future generations?
About the webinar:
The HealthyLife 2024 Living Healthy Report paints a bleak picture of the future health of today’s children. In fact, children born between 2023-2033 are expected to have a shorter life span than their parents due in particular to an unhealthy diet. The average household is not purchasing enough core foods to meet the Australian Dietary Guidelines and are purchasing excess discretionary foods, with screen time rising and physical activity declining. The good news is that a healthy food shop is actually cheaper than the current average purchased shop, so there is great potential, especially while the cost of living is a big concern, for dietitians to influence positive change on the wellbeing of Australians. In this webinar, Healthylife’s Chief Health Officer Simone Austin explores the key results from this year’s Living Healthy Report and offers practical insights for dietitians to use in their practice.
