We commend Food Ministers for taking the next step to make the Health Star Rating mandatory on all packaged foods.

For public health & consumer choice: it will support making informed decisions at the checkout & provide an incentive for manufacturers to put healthier products on our shelves.

Heart Foundation welcomes bulk-billing expansion The Heart Foundation has welcomed the Australian Government’s bulk-billing expansion which will help more people see a GP for heart disease prevention and management.

This past weekend, it was announced that more than 1K additional GP clinics are expected to offer fully bulk-billed services under @ausgov.bsky.social's Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program. This means more people can access Heart Health Checks & ongoing care after a heart event.

Can I eat instant noodles every day? What does it do to my health? While instant noodles offer comfort and familiarity, their nutritional profile has room for improvement. You can upgrade your bowl with a few easy additions.

High amounts of sodium, low fiber/protein & essential nutrients + frequent consumption links to metabolic syndrome. It's no surprise that eating instant noodles daily may raise heart-risk factors.

Great read w/ contributions from HF Catalyst Partner @proflaurenball.bsky.social @theconversation.com
