S2E01 - Dawn talks food and nutrition with Louise Mercieca

Hi and welcome to POD-CACHE, the portable CPD and best practice podcast from CACHE, presented by Dawn Newman - Editor of www.CACHEAlumni.org.uk, the free professional membership network for those working in Care, Early Years and Education. 

In this episode, Dawn talks to Louise Mercieca - author, presenter on the Early Years TV Food Channel and owner of The Health Kick. Louise is a Nutritional Therapist with experience as a personal trainer.  

Louise and Dawn talk about some of the common myths around food, how calories aren't everything and the difference between real and 'fake' food.  Louise also gives her professional opinion on the links between food and behaviour and how changing our relationship with food can be beneficial to our overall wellbeing, as well as our waistline.
