Australian nutrition consultancy MP Nutrition is raising awareness about the negative impacts that financial struggles can have on dietary intake.
Pointing to a new study, which highlights the correlation between financial difficulty and poor nutrition, MP Nutrition aims to raise awareness about the need for accessible, affordable healthy food options for all Australians.
Owner of MP Nutrition, Dr Ben Carvosso says, “There is a clear connection between financial hardship and poor nutrition. People facing economic challenges often have limited access to affordable, healthy food options, leading to a higher reliance on cheaper, nutrient-poor alternatives. This can have serious consequences on overall health, including an increased risk of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases.”
MP Nutrition says its committed to addressing this pressing issue by offering practical solutions and advocating for policy changes.
The company says its focus is on providing affordable nutrition counselling, meal planning, and educational resources to help people make healthier choices even on a tight budget.
In addition, MP Nutrition says it’s actively involved in community outreach programmes, partnering with local organisations and food banks to promote better access to nutritious food for those in need. By working together with policymakers, businesses, and community members, the company hopes to create a lasting impact on the nation’s health and well-being.
