Diabetes SA's Annual Food and Health Seminar 'Mediterranean Magic' was held on Saturday 21 February 2015 at the Adelaide Convention Centre in their brand new Panorama Rooms.
After the opening by General Manager, Fiona Benton, the 400 guests (approx.) were informed of all of the benefits of enjoying a Mediterranean eating pattern through including legumes and nuts every day by Dr Alison Coates, from the University of South Australia.
At morning tea time, guests were invited to enjoy tasting some of the Mediterranean foods through mini sweet potato, button mushroom and spinach frittatas, mini chicken, tabouleh and hummus wraps and diced fruit with vanilla bean yoghurt. Guests were also treated by the Australian Mushroom Growers Association with a very tasty mushroom, rice and quinoa salad, which everyone seemed to enjoy!
After morning tea, Glenn Cardwell, an Accredited Practising Dietitian from Perth, entertained the crowd and discussed the many benefits of consuming vegetables and most importantly, consuming mushrooms as part of your five serves of vegetables every day.
Then to show guests how easy it is to embed the Mediterranean style of eating into every day meals, Danielle (Health Promotions Officer) and Dayna (Dietitian) from Diabetes SA conducted a cooking demonstration where they made rice paper salad rolls and berry and yoghurt parfaits.
Feedback from the seminar was very positive and the venue was beautiful with stunning views of the river and Adelaide Oval.
Thank you to all who attended and organised the seminar, making it a great success.

17. Simple recipes to incorporate legumes into your diet
Black bean and corn Mexican salad
19. • Eat a diet containing 50-60% energy from
carbohydrate mainly from
• whole grains and legumes
• fruit
• vegetables
• low-fat milk
• Legumes have a lesser effect on blood glucose than
most other carbohydrate-containing foods.
21. • People with Type 2
diabetes ate 3 different
meals in a cross-over
study design
• Glucose and insulin
responses to the mixed
meals were measured
• Meals were matched on
carbohydrate, fat, protein
and water

controlled diets that are high in legumes.
• Currently there are no long term clinical trials
examining the effect of increased legume intake on
weight status.

52. Regular nut consumption associated
with better cognition
• Higher long-term total nut intake was associated with
better average cognitive status1
• Reduced incidence of cognitive decline when the Mediterranean
dietary pattern (with nuts as a key component) is adhered to2
• Possibly linked to nutrients found in nuts -MUFA + vitamin E3,4

59. Why Legumes + Nuts?
• great source of healthy nutrients
• favourably influence blood lipids
• help to reduce or control body weight
• help to control blood glucose
• emerging evidence for maintaining cognitive
function
• should be part of your daily diet
but avoid the salt!!!
