«Breaking News» Sydney nutritionist Melissa Meier reveals food staples she buys every week

Many Australians believe that a healthy diet is made up of on-trend superfoods, expensive organic vegetables and fancy homemade meals.

However, leading Sydney-based dietitian Melissa Meier insists this doesn't have to be the case and recently shared the simple staples she swears by each week.

Writing for Body and Soul, Melissa offered a straightforward spate of advice to the health conscious: keep it simple. 

'I don't believe in blowing your life savings on superfoods, spending hours in the kitchen making everything from scratch or doing your groceries only at specialty healthy food shops,' she said.

Fruit and vegetables 

An obvious choice, Melissa backs the evidence which showcases the importance of a fruit and vegetable-packed diet. 

Whether it's the high level of Vitamin A and K in carrots or an apple a day, which is a traditionally easy source of Vitamin C, it's hard not to find a nutrition among the choices. 

She also lauds the importance of frozen vegetables, which can be a great alternative for the time poor.

Dairy   

A divisive choice in the age of plant-based living, Melissa is quick to back the importance of dairy in a well-rounded diet. 

Whether it's in the form of milk, cheese or a lunchtime yoghurt snack - the benefits of dairy are measurable. 

These come mostly in the form of potassium, magnesium, and vitamins A and B12 - with low fat versions of the products also having the ability to reduce blood pressure.

Hummus 

Once deemed a fad favourite, the humble dip has stood the test of time and become a staple pairing with many a chopped up vegetable.

In addition to its plant-based status, hummus is protein rich, high in fibre and is a great way to fight inflammation. 

For those with intolerances, the dip is typically nut, dairy and gluten free - further qualifying it as a once-trendy snack that's here to stay.

Paleo

In recent times, there has been a lot of buzz around the Paleo diet, with followers like Paleo Pete purporting a caveman diet and lifestyle.

'One of the positives of the Paleo diet is that it advocates for reduced intake of refined sugar and discretionary processed foods - which as a population, we eat far too much of,' Melissa previously told FEMAIL, in conjunction with Aldi's paleo range.

The basics of the Paleo diet means ditching dairy, grains, legumes, refined sugar and processed food in favour of a diet based around vegetables, lean meat, seafood, fruit and seeds.  

And while Melissa doesn't advocate for full-time Paleo adherence, she does agree with its emphasis on a reduced sugar intake. 

'I don't believe in blowing your life savings on superfoods, spending hours in the kitchen making everything from scratch or doing your groceries only at specialty healthy food shops,' Melissa said

Water 

As trends come and go water will always remain atop the list of any person with the objective of achieving bodily health.

While the benefits may be well-known and obvious, it's difficult to achieve any level of holistic health without the recommended 11 cups of water each day. 

Among the elements wonders are increased brain power and providing additional energy, boosting the immune system and paramount in achieving all over hydration.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
