information promotes good health
Optimum nutrition is a fundamental part of good health. But knowing what to eat, how and when can be hard without access to the right information. The New Zealand Nutrition Foundation’s new website, www.nutritionfoundation.org.nz, provides scientifically-accurate, easily-accessible information on food and nutrition, helping all New Zealanders towards a healthy, balanced diet.
The website gives up-to-date facts on all you need to know about ‘everything nutrition’; energy to food safety, minerals to glycaemic index. Based on national and international food and nutrition guidelines, it provides practical ideas and tips for all ages and stages.
The Foundation is New Zealand’s leading independent food and nutrition organisation. Everything on the website is written by qualified nutritionists and checked for scientific accuracy by the Foundation’s expert Scientific Advisory Group.
“Nutrition is an area where misinformation and confusion is common. Our new website gives New Zealanders confidence to make the right food choices as part of a healthy lifestyle,” says Sue Pollard, New Zealand Nutrition Foundation CEO.
