Protein, Plant-Based Diets & Ultra-Processed Foods

In this week's episode I sit down with nutrition scientist and physiotherapist Simon Hill (@simonhill) to talk about all things nutrition, research, exercise and optimising health! We discuss topics surrounding misinformation - is the information on the news and in social media accurate? Does it accurately summarise the research? Study types - discover how some research can increase anxiety for people when it comes to food. Is the study based on humans or animals? What dose is the subject exposed to and for how long? Plant-based diets - find out how choosing a diet high in fibre, plant diversity, and low in ultra processed foods help you to shift risk factors in a more favourable direction, improving your health outcomes. Discover whether there are any limitations and for any particular groups of people specifically. Protein - is animal protein better than plant protein for building muscle or healthy ageing? Is it about protein intake or actually increasing resistance training? Find out how plant protein consumption can reduce your cardio metabolic risk factors whilst still increasing muscle mass. Phytates - learn what they are, what foods contain them and should we be concerned that they may reduce absorption of certain minerals? Make sure to follow @simonhill for more information!
