You’re Obsessing Over the Wrong thing! The #1 Food that Cuts Disease Risk
.
.
Could 12 everyday high-fibre foods really help lower your risk of heart disease, dementia and some cancers?
The world is obsessed with protein, but fewer than 1 in 10 people eat enough fibre. But this year, fibre is making an unexpected comeback.
In this episode, legendary chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and ZOE’s Chief Scientist Professor Sarah Berry ask whether fibre is another food trend or a powerful part of our diet that we have overlooked.
Taking inspiration from Hugh’s new book High Fibre Heroes, they explore how fibre feeds your gut microbes, helps you feel full and slows the release of sugar into your blood. And, by the end of the episode, you’ll know how to eat more fibre without costly ingredients or difficult recipes, and how to turn familiar foods into simple meals packed with flavour.
Are you buying more protein while overlooking the foods your body may need most? The answer could already be in your cupboard, freezer or fridge.
