Hi, I’m Neeta. My passion for food and being healthy started when I was diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes at the age of 8. This was in the late 1970s in a small regional town in Queensland, and little was known about treatments, management and associated conditions that can arise. Over the years with advancements in technology and medical research, so much has been learned, shared, and developed.
As a rebellious, adventurous teenager and young adult, I wanted to experience life from all directions. 😊 Then I got married and had a child and realised I was now responsible for another life. With my diabetes, my pregnancy was quite difficult, so due to risk factors and complications, we stopped at just one and it set me on the right path to a healthier future. But the damage had already been done, in 2019, I suffered a stroke, then a TIA (mini stroke that rectifies itself within a month or two), and I needed a triple bypass (open heart surgery), which led to yet another stroke. These events changed my life completely. I continued studying & researching the role and effects of food and nutrition in diabetes, heart conditions and other diabetes related complications. I was surprised how little the general public is aware of the role sufficient nutrients played in their overall health and wellbeing. I get a lot of enjoyment from cooking and find it very relaxing and stress relieving, so put all this together and you get ‘ Tastee Cheats’!
I’ve now completed a Certificate IV in Nutrition to expand my knowledge of healthier eating habits and I am a certified Nutrition Advisor and Counsellor, registered with the Nutrition Council Australis (NRN No 1058), the aim being to share knowledge with others in the community on living their healthiest life and the benefits they can expect from an overall healthier lifestyle. I continue to study various ?? to expand my knowledge and keep up to date with trends and new break throughs.
