  • Cooking in schools

    Tim stated that cooking is not taught in schools anymore. What nonsense. Both my son and daughter had 2 years of ‘food and nutrition’ in public high school where they learned to cook all manner of things. I’ve lost all trust in Tim since making such sweeping statements which are clearly untrue. Why don’t you actually make an episode precisely on this topic so we can really find out what’s being taught in schools in terms of nutrition and healthy eating!

  • Not as good..

    Still informative and generally a good listen (although Tim often sounds a bit jaded)

    However- This seems to be more of a money making exercise these days what with all the adverts for their own products (which are not cheap).

    Hopefully it will find its way again.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to build a better brain: The 5 foods you need to protect your memory, mood and to cut dementia risk | Prof Felice Jacka & Prof Tim Spector
Q: Can some people with depression be successfully treated by changing their diet?
Yes, evidence from randomized trials like SMILES suggests that improving diet quality can lead to meaningful improvements in depression, independent of weight loss.
Most replayed moment: Blood pressure: the silent risk you shouldn’t ignore | Prof Tim Spector
Q: How does salt and processed foods influence blood pressure, and what can people do about it?
Most salt comes from processed foods, not adding salt at table; choosing lower-sodium options and potassium-rich alternatives, plus selecting unprocessed plant-based foods, can reduce blood pressure and improve overall health.
Most replayed moment: Blood pressure: the silent risk you shouldn’t ignore | Prof Tim Spector
Q: What lifestyle changes can help lower blood pressure?
Regular physical activity, reducing sedentary time, improving sleep, managing stress, and integrating dietary changes—especially reducing salt and increasing plant-based foods and potassium—can substantially lower blood pressure and complement medication.
Most replayed moment: Blood pressure: the silent risk you shouldn’t ignore | Prof Tim Spector
Q: What is high blood pressure and why does it matter?
High blood pressure is a chronic, often lifestyle-linked condition where arteries are less flexible and resting pressure is higher, which increases the risk of strokes, heart disease, and metabolic problems; control and early intervention can dramatically reduce risks.
Is eating like our ancestors the key to better health? What the Paleo diet gets right, and the 5 ancient diet claims that are dangerously wrong for your heart and gut health | Dr James Cole & Dr Federica Amati
Q: Did our ancient ancestors mainly eat meat?
Evidence shows meat was eaten and there were large coastal and marine resources, but diets were diverse and seasonal, not exclusively meat.
