Is fruit juice just as bad as added sugar?

What are the healthiest vegetables to eat for longevity?

Is dairy helpful or harmful for our health?

These are just some of the questions myself and Professor Tim Spector discuss on today’s podcast. It’s the third time we’ve sat down on the podcast and I’m sure it won’t be the last.

Our chat today dives into the 6 strategies for healthy eating that Tim details in his new book, including eating 30 Plants a Week, Pivoting Proteins from animal based to plants, and trying Time-Restricted Eating.

In his new Food for Life Cookbook, Tim shares his knowledge of how simple it can be to eat for both pleasure and health. The book will help you make better food choices every day, whatever your starting point. We even made some of the pecan, chocolate cookies in the Doctor’s Kitchen Studio which were incredibly delicious. Made with flax egg, ground almonds and a seed mix, I was genuinely surprised at how tasty they were. You can catch that recipe on the Doctor’s Kitchen YouTube channel where you can also watch the podcast!
