Aboriginal people alleviate food insecurity by going crabbing or fishing on traditional lands. Tracey Nearmy/AAPAccess to affordable and nutritious food is an ongoing problem in remote Indigenous communities. These areas have an artificially inflated cost of living due to cycles of mining boom and bust, and suffer from a general unavailability of fresh fruit and vegetables and other high-quality foods. As well as the high cost of living, limited educational outcomes and work opportunities coupled with insufficient social services, including public transport, create chronic economic insecurity for Indigenous residents. Food is often the first thing to go when there is not enough money to pay the bills. Going without food, or going without nutritious food, has heavy consequences for Indigenous people, as we learnt on

No Sugar! Vanilla Protein Bark (nut-free, dairy-free, vegan, low-carb + keto)
A sugar-free, nut-free, dairy-free vanilla bark recipe with a perfect combination of fats, fermented proteins and fiber to put a stop to endless hunger. This post is not about overdoing the protein. Even though I’m using protein powder in today’s recipe, it’s not in large quantities. Today’s protein powder-based recipe includes just enough protein powder to do what protein does best: help us reach satiety, while balancing our satiation with taste, texture and a healthy dose of fats. Fats + protein = the key to stopping endless hunger. You’ve told me that you needed a high-quality, low-carb, soy-free protein powder option. I was on the lookout for nearly 6 months before I found Genuine Health’s fermented Vegan proteins+. Sorry for
Sex, health and society: what’s the connection?
This column will examine how sex, gender, and sexuality impact physical and mental wellbeing and how these issues shape, and are shaped by, the types of societies we build and value. Frits Ahlefeldt-Laurvig/Flickr, CC BY-ND“What do you do?” It’s a question that always makes my heart sink, which aspect of what I do should I highlight in the answer to this minefield of a question. The answer must be brief because the attention span of the interrogator will last only as long as politeness dictates. But it must also be carefully crafted because it sets the tone for subsequent conversation. Although I’ve been asked many times I’m yet to find a universally suitable answer to this question. I’m the director of the Australian
Yoga, Hiking, Meditating, Singing, Eating and Dancing at Wanderlust Whistler
Honoring my sense of adventure and mindful living at Wanderlust Whistler 2015 for 5 days of celebrating community, self care and discovery. Last July, I packed up my Scion IQ and drove 600 miles across 2 provinces to Wanderlust Whistler, a 5-day festival which; up until I attended, I assumed was an event solely focused on yoga (asana). I had heard of Wanderlust for many years, but never thought it was the right place for me. You see, I’m no stellar yogi. I can’t balance on my head, my nose doesn’t touch my toes, and it’d be a miracle if I was able to sit through a 30 minute meditation in complete stillness. But I was hungry for adventure so I bit the bullet, bought my ticket and planned for an road
Portobella Chorizo Burgers
This is a guest post by Emily Schromm, of SuperheroUnleashed.com. Good morning, world! Emily Schromm here. My philosophy is this: there is an inner superhero in us all, and it’s OUR duty to UNLEASH it. I am from Denver, Colorado, unleashing my own superhero by way of lifting heavy things, eating bacon, and training clients all around the world. Formerly on some reality television shows and also recently named Women’s Health Magazine’s Next Fitness Star, you better believe it took some good gut-healing food and lots of lifting for me to feel the confidence I feel today. Now, by way of that good food and online training, it’s my calling to help all I can in feeling that same confidence. I want to share one

5 Things Everyone Should Know About Nutrition Labels
Little secret. Those of you that read my blog don’t always watch my videos on YouTube and many of my YouTube subscribers never come over to SarahFit.com. I feel like I have two children who I love dearly. You guys here on the blog tend to be more health conscious and aware of the latest trends. You know what chia seeds are and maybe have even tried a 3 day juice cleanse despite all those pesky nutrition experts telling you not to. Did you know however that legally a nutrition label can be 20{c754d8f4a6af077a182a96e5a5e47e38ce50ff83c235579d09299c097124e52d} off?
