Kickstart your New Year’s health resolutions this month with these top nutrition tips from our Senior Dietitians at Blackrock Health Hermitage Clinic. Prioritise your health this year by following some simple guidelines:
– Prioritise whole foods: Swap processed snacks for nourishing, nutrient-dense snacks such as nuts and dried fruits, fruit and yogurt, cheese and crackers, nutty flapjacks, oat snacks. When opting for convenience snacks be aware of the ingredient list, some snacks which may label themselves as ‘healthy’ alternatives may have a long list of ingredients, generally the more whole ingredients and the shorter the list the better!
– Stay hydrated: Start each day with a glass of water and aim for 8 glasses throughout the day. Proper hydration is key for energy and overall well-being.
– Limit alcohol: Alcohol dehydrates and can cause fatigue which leads to poorer food choices as well as negatively impacting overall health. Swap alcoholic drinks for non-alcoholic alternatives where possible and aiming for at least three alcohol free days per week.
– Stay active: Incorporating some daily movement (outside if possible) will support overall mood, energy levels and health.
– Plan ahead: Try not let busy schedules derail your healthy eating goals. Meal prepping, batch cooking and planning snacks will help you stay on track.

This World IBD Day, we’re recognising the strength of those living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Conditions like Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis can be unpredictable, often bringing physical discomfort and emotional strain.
As Lorraine Cooney, Specialist Gastroenterology Dietitian and Head of Dietetics Department at Blackrock Health, Blackrock Clinic, says,
“IBD affects more than just your gut—it can impact every part of life. And diet in IBS matters! There’s no one-size-fits-all, so support should be personal. The right approach depends on your type of IBD, how active it is, any IBS-type symptoms, your nutrition status, culture and even your relationship with food. On World IBD Day, let’s raise awareness and remind people with IBD that they’re not alone.”
At Blackrock Health, our gastroenterology teams understand the impact of IBD. Across our three hospitals, we offer expert care, timely diagnostics, and ongoing support to help patients manage symptoms and take back control of their health.
If you’re living with IBD or experiencing persistent digestive issues, we’re here to help.
