DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS: HEALTH OR HYPE?

Take a walk down the aisle of any supermarket or chemist these days and you are bound to be confronted by shelves full of nutrient supplements, ranging from vitamin A to zinc. But are they worth the price you pay for them? This information-packed program takes a balanced look at the essential nutrients needed by the body, the type of person who is most likely to take dietary supplements, and what differences - both good and bad - they can make to our everyday life. This program is a fresh look at a modern multi-billion dollar industry, including the rules of product labeling, and the cunning marketing that leverages off well-known sporting celebrities.

NO ACCOUNTING FOR TASTE: WHY WE EAT WHAT WE EAT

This program investigates the factors that play significant roles in determining the foods we love and those we just can't stomach! With help from nutritionist Ros Ryan, and the experiences and opinions of everyday people from around the world, we reveal the physiological, psychological, social, and economic factors that affect our choice of foods. From satiety - our bodies telling us whether we are hungry or full - to positive and negative associations we have with certain foods, and the impact of culture, religion, lifestyle, peers, and the media, this is a rewarding examination of why we prefer certain types of foods over others.

DESIGNING MENUS FOR HEALTHY DIETS

The ever-increasing pace of life for people of all ages means it is critical to plan for healthy eating accordingly.

In this program, teenager Jesse takes us through a dramatised story of how, once again, his mother has to work back and puts him on a mission of preparing the dinner for that night, with the usual parting instruction: "...a 'healthy' dinner, Jesse..." Jesse, by his own admission, is just not one hundred per cent sure about what real healthy food is but he's willing to find out. In following his story, the program covers areas including the function of food; understanding nutrients; today's fast-paced society; designing menus; and different menus. We also hear from two professional dieticians, Melanie McGrice and Ingrid Hilton. In an engaging and thorough way, this program covers important areas about healthy and nutritious menu planning.

READING FOOD LABELS

Food labels are a highly useful and important source of information for consumers. They help us to compare foods when shopping and to choose the foods that best meet our taste, nutrition and health requirements. From 2003, regulations drawn up by Australia New Zealand Food Authority (ANZFA) governing food labels came into force. Improvements to current labels include:
  • information on nutritional content
  • the percentage of the key or characterising ingredient or component of the food
  • the presence of major allergens in foods
  • country of origin
  • date marking and storage requirements. This program covers it all and more in a clear, concise and interesting way.

    NUTRIENTS - THEIR INTERACTIONS

    Carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals and water; these are the basic nutrients our bodies use everyday to keep us healthy. Individually, they are vital for many cellular and physical functions. Interacting with each other, in thousands of permutations, they allow our bodies not only to perform many other vital, complex and delicate functions that keeps us alive, but also to be very efficient in the way we do it. In this program we look beyond the relatively simple work of macro and micronutrients, to the complex and fascinating work that happens when nutrients interact with each other for the production of energy, for growth, repair and maintenance of hard and soft tissue and for regulation of the body's processes. It's a fascinating and complex process, presented in an entertaining, information-rich program that also examines the impact of deficiencies on short term and long term health. A must for Health and Human Development students and an excellent companion volume to "Nutrients - the basics" , providing students with an understanding of the role of nutrients in the body and the almost miraculous way in which our bodies maintain themselves.

    HEALTHY EATING PYRAMID, THE

    This program on the Healthy Eating Pyramid, was made in conjunction with Nutrition Australia. It covers two pyramids, one for vegetarians and the other for non-vegetarians. In each case, we look at the three sections, from bottom to top using all the latest information.

    Along the way, it emphasises the need to reduce the intake of saturated fat, salt and refined foods and to increase the intake of complex carbohydrates.

    The program also reiterates the need for regular activity or sport to be part of everyone's healthy lifestyle.

    The program is dynamically presented by Julia Martin with the aid of a range of young people in the street and colourful graphics with special on screen support from Jedda the Wonderdog!

    GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER IN THE NEW MILLENNIUM: CARBOHYDRATE

    Carbohydrate is a vital part of diet, but we generally don't eat enough of it. In this "Guess ..." series, we explore the role carbohydrate plays in maintaining our health and well being.

    How much carbohydrate do we need, and what form(s) does it take? Can we eat too much of it? What is carbohydrate loading, and why do athletes use it? These questions, and more are explored in this up-to-date program from the producers of programs such as "Australian Guide to Healthy Eating" and the updated "Guess ..." series.

    GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER IN THE NEW MILLENNIUM: FAT

    Fat is a large part of our diet; often we don't realise just how much of it we consume. Staple foodstuffs such as meat, butter and milk all have high fat contents. Additionally, many foods become high in fat when they are prepared in certain ways; low fat potatoes can become high fat chips, for example. This program looks at what fat is, how much of it we eat, what foods it is found in, what function it carries out in the body, what problems it causes, and how we can reduce our consumption of it. We also see the pressures put on us to eat more fat. Advertising tempts us with appealing pictures of healthy people eating fatty products and industry lobby groups are constantly campaigning for their product.

    GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER IN THE NEW MILLENNIUM: SALT

    For some years now, salt has been viewed as a major cause of high blood pressure. But the reality is a little more complex. For people with a genetic pre-disposition, salt may be a killer; for others it may not be such a problem. But until a satisfactory test is developed, it's wise for all of us to greatly reduce the amount of salt we consume.

    GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER IN THE NEW MILLENNIUM: SUGAR

    The more sugar we eat, the less complex carbohydrate and the more fat we eat. For that reason, sugar, with its empty kilojoules, is a food we should eat less of. But there's also the problem of dental caries: despite all the improvements in tooth-paste and fluoridation over large areas of Australasia, sugar which is hidden in an amazing variety of foods, is still public enemy number 1.

We explain the role of vitamins in the body and what happens when we consume more than we need. We also explain the vested interests involved in the synthetic vitamin industry and how that can get in the way of us spending our money wisely.

    SPORT AND NUTRITION

    Elite sportspeople are increasingly realising that nutrition is an integral component of their training and competition. This program explores the ways elite sportspeople use nutrition to give themselves an extra edge. The program starts with a basic overview, looking in particular at the roles of individual nutrients in sports performance. We then look at competition planning, and interview a number of athletes to illustrate the differences between sports. Finally, the program examines the validity of the 'fads, pills, and potions' which seem so common in elite sport.
