Listen "Recap: Why you should eat 30 different plants every week | Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall & Tim Spector "
Episode Synopsis
Today, we’re talking about plants.
For years, our diets have been guided by a simple three word slogan: ‘five a day’. While it’s well established that eating fruit and vegetables is good for us, some experts believe the ‘five a day’ message puts too much emphasis on quantity, and not enough on variety.
So, is time to adjust our guiding plant principle?
I’m joined by Professor Tim Spector and chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, who advocate for a new goal: eating 30 different plants each week. Together, we’ll explore why diversity is key for your microbiome and share some delicious ways to bring more plants onto your plate.
