About
Here's where you can find out HFS: our background, our qualifications, our experience, what we do, and how we got started...
Healthy Food Solutions was set up, and is run by James Miller. James has always had a real passion for food and cooking. Having cooked since a very young age, he went on to work as a highly qualified, professional chef for over 10 years - where he gained extensive skills in, and knowledge of, food preparation and cooking. Wanting to know more, he studied and completed a BSc (Hons) degree in Food Science & Nutrition, where he learnt the in-depth theory of food in relation to health and food production.
Today, the health of the nation is of great concern: poor diets and sedentary lifestyles are major contributors to obesity, diabetes and heart disease, amongst other health conditions. There is also a lot of misleading or conflicting messages on diet and health out there. James realised he could combine his practical experience of cooking and expertise in nutrition to support people to increase their skills, or develop their existing knowledge, so that they may improve their diets and health.
During his studies, James gained various experiences teaching people about food and health. When he became a qualified Nutritionist in 2006, James decided to create Healthy Food Solutions. His aims to were simple: to provide accurate and up-to-date information on food and health in a clear, concise and understandable way; and to help show people how to cook wholesome food easily.
James wanted to give people all the information they need, in one place: this website features free, concise, accurate and easy-to-understand infomation on healthy eating, basic nutrition, diet and food safety. Healthy Food Solutions offers a number of services around the information on this website, ranging from slimming advice, to cookery lessons and recipes, to personalised dietary advice, to catering consultancy, all of which can be tailored to meet your needs. Please see the services page for more information.
Healthy Food Solutions has now worked with many community organisations; supported several charities; and provided advice to schools and individuals. To date, it has helped improve the diets of children, adults and the elderly; various ethnic groups; and is helping local visually impaired people.
We hope you find this site informative and helpful. Please get in touch if you are interested in knowing how we can help you.
