Preserved egg and pork mince congee, Sanhe Congee
Silky and creamy, rice porridge is the ultimate comfort food. At Sanhe, there are 30 variations, each made with a base that's slow-cooked for two to three hours before toppings are added. Owners Nikki Ee and Emily Lin have three favourites: the quintessential preserved egg with pork mince; a lighter shiitake mushroom and chicken; and the delicate scallop and fish combo.

How could housework and AI help us live healthier and longer lives?
Have you been putting off doing the weeding or giving the windows a good scrub? This expert's advice may have you reaching for the gardening gloves or Windex. University of South Australia sports scientist Grant Tomlinson has studied the benefits of regular exercise on healthy ageing for years and says applying a little elbow grease may help you live longer. While the benefits of cardiovascular fitness are well known, Professor Tomlinson said it's just as important to maintain muscle strength. Read more from The Senior He said chores like moving things around the house, mowing the lawn, gardening, wringing out wet washing, carrying groceries, or hanging washing on the line could yield numerous health benefits. "When we typically think of fitness, you know, like muscle fitness, we do think of smelly, sweaty people in the gym, pushing lots of weights with veins popping out of their forehead and bloodshot eyes and sweat dripping off their forehead," he said. "That's not necessarily the truth.... doing those everyday household chores can provide enough resistance to help keep you on the right track, particularly as you get older, when we tend to be less physically active." Keeping the muscles active can help with daily tasks and reduce the risk of falls because stronger muscles help a person to reposition the body if they slip or stumble, he said. Maintaining muscle strength can also reduce the risk of cognitive decline, as well as the development of diseases like osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. While housework is a good way to maintain muscle strength, especially for those who have not been maintaining a regular exercise routine, Professor Tomlinson also recommends other strength exercises like lifting weights, riding a bike or squats. He said older adults should aim for three sessions of resistance or muscle and bone strengthening exercise a week. Professor Tomlinson will talk about the benefits of regular exercise for healthy ageing at an upcoming exhibition at the University of South Australia's Museum of Discovery (MOD). Also speaking during the panel discussion will be Lyndsey Collins-Praino, who is at the forefront of exciting research that could one day see AI used to identify signs of dementia and Parkinson's disease long before symptoms appear. The neuroscientist believes clues that a person is at risk of developing neurodegenerative conditions like dementia and Parkinson's can be found in the body. Proteins found in blood, saliva and tears, and information from brain scans could help scientists identify these diseases early enough to slow their progression, or possibly even stop it altogether, she said. She said symptoms associated with dementia and Parkinson's do not start until the diseases are well advanced and irreversible. "If we can tell who might be at risk... we can involve them in clinical trials early, we can have better monitoring of them, we can intervene earlier when problems do start to occur, and potentially even be able to stop that conversion [progression of the disease.] That's the ultimate hope," she said. Associate Professor Collins-Praino and her team are looking at ways AI can be utilised to identify people who are predisposed to developing these diseases. "We're using the latest technologies, things like AI, to help us to pick out biological patterns that help us to predict risk of things like dementia and Parkinson's." She said there are a number of known lifestyle factors that could reduce the risk of developing dementia by up to 40 per cent, including improved diet, exercise, and reduced alcohol intake. If scientists can determine that a person is at risk of developing these conditions, lifestyle changes and potentially drug treatments could stop them from developing the disease before it's too late. The panel discussion will take place as part of the university's Forever exhibition, The exhibition draws on the expertise of over 30 researchers and experts in neuroscience, exercise science, sociology, anthropology and physics to explore the relationship between time, memory and aging.

Nine of Melbourne's cosiest bowls to wrap your hands around this winter
For this hatted restaurant 's winter residency program, chef Harriet Tomlinson (a regular on the pop-up circuit) is sharing lighter cold weather dishes. On the four-course menu is a clear bone marrow broth infused with house-made citrus kosho, a punchy Japanese condiment made with mandarins or other citrus Tomlinson has on hand plus green chillies. Garden peas sit atop the marrow bone, adding pops of freshness. The dish follows a starter of sunchoke-filled kohlrabi, which 'nods to the little cracks of sun coming through the leaves' – a sign of brighter days. Be quick: her menu runs until July 27. 1 St Heliers Street, Abbotsford, Preserved egg and pork mince congee, Sanhe Congee Silky and creamy, rice porridge is the ultimate comfort food. At Sanhe, there are 30 variations, each made with a base that's slow-cooked for two to three hours before toppings are added. Owners Nikki Ee and Emily Lin have three favourites: the quintessential preserved egg with pork mince; a lighter shiitake mushroom and chicken; and the delicate scallop and fish combo.
