Could you hold a plank for 5 hours? Well that's exactly what a 61-year-old grandmother did!

DonnaJean Wilde in the United States broke her own previous record set in 2024 of 4 hours, 30 minutes and 11 seconds. She also holds the record for the most pushups in one hour by a female. Talk about a powerhouse!

As NBC New York goes on to explain in their article featuring DonnaJean "Planking helps tone all of the muscle groups, including abs, arms, back, shoulders, glutes and legs, experts say. Planking can also help improve balance, ease back pain and reduce belly fat."

DonnaJean proves that you're never too old to achieve your fitness goals!

Sometimes there’s nothing better than a classic dish like Spaghetti Bolognese.

Our version is as classic as it comes, with a tomato-based mince sauce served over spaghetti and topped with cheese. It’s comfort in a bowl.

It’s one of eight pasta dishes available on our menu, alongside more than 40 main meal options.

Visit our website to explore our full menu and place an order today.

As we age, our risk of certain health conditions can increase, including osteoporosis. The good news is that our diet can play an important role in maintaining good bone health.

Calcium-rich foods like milk, yoghurt and cheese, as well as leafy greens such as kale, bok choy and Chinese cabbage, can help support strong bones.

Vitamin D is also important, as it helps our bodies absorb calcium. Oily fish such as salmon and sardines can provide vitamin D, while canned varieties with edible bones can also be a source of calcium.

Along with regular physical activity, including weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening activities where appropriate, a balanced diet can help maintain healthy bones as we age.

Food is family memories made around the dinner table. It’s catch-ups with friends, and it’s a way to fuel and nourish our bodies. On World Food Day, we celebrate all of this.

At Tender Loving Cuisine, food is also in our DNA. We provide comforting homestyle meals inspired by the dishes people know and love, hearty favourites, familiar flavours and satisfying recipes that feel just like something you would cook at home.

From savoury classics to sweet treats, every dish is made with care using quality ingredients, then snap-frozen to lock in flavour and nutrition.

More than three million Australians provide unpaid care to family and friends, including ageing parents and relatives.

From helping with everyday tasks and attending appointments to providing emotional support, carers play an important role in helping people maintain their independence and quality of life.

National Carers Week aims to raise awareness of Australia’s carers and share their stories. This year’s theme, Care for a Carer, encourages us to consider how we can support the people who spend so much of their time caring for others.

If you’re a carer or have carers in your life, visit www.carersweek.com.au to read carers’ stories, explore available resources and find information and support specific to your state or territory.

Older people play so many important roles in our lives. They’re our grandparents, our mentors, our storytellers and so much more.

So, we asked our team members to share something their grandparents have taught them.

Here are a few of the things they said:

“My nan always said good manners cost nothing, and that’s definitely stuck with me.”

“My grandad taught me to look after what you have instead of always wanting something new.”

“My grandma was big on checking in with people. She’d always call just to see how you were going.”

“My nanna taught me to always make a little extra food, just in case someone stayed for dinner.”

This World Heart Day, we’re shining a light on the role everyday food choices can play in supporting heart health as we age.

The Heart Foundation recommends an eating pattern rich in vegetables, fruit and wholegrains, alongside healthy protein-rich foods and healthy fats, while limiting foods high in saturated fat and salt.

At Tender Loving Cuisine, our menu guide icons are there to make nutritional information a little easier to understand. Icons such as Good Source of Fibre and Good Source of Protein can help customers quickly identify some of the nutritional qualities of different meals.

Small, practical tools can make choosing meals that suit your needs feel a little simpler.

They say we eat with our eyes, and we think familiar-looking food can make a real difference at mealtimes.

Soft & Easy is our new texture-modified meal range, carefully moulded so each part of the meal remains recognisable on the plate while providing the texture our customers need.

Available in both Level 4 Pureed and Level 5 Minced & Moist, Soft & Easy has been created to help make texture-modified meals feel more familiar, inviting and enjoyable.

Head to our website to learn more and explore the range:

At 94, Marta Barany has no plans to retire.

After more than 60 years working as an interpreter and translator, Marta still works for a few hours a day, five days a week, and says her work continues to give her energy and purpose.

One line from Marta’s story particularly stood out to us:

“If my mind works, I will still work.”

As part of our commitment to providing nutritious and delicious meals for older Australians, we’re excited to share some new additions to the TLC menu.

We’re especially excited to introduce **Soft & Easy**, our first texture-modified range. These meals are moulded so the individual components remain recognisable on the plate, while still providing the required modified texture.

For the first time, TLC is also offering a range of sweet and savoury breakfast options, from porridge and pancakes to frittata and a hearty brunch bowl.

You’ll also find new sides and muffins joining the menu.

Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, dinner or something in between, there are now even more options to choose from.
