    Has Healthy Eating Gone Too Far? Fibre, Gummies & Hydration

    When does an interest in healthy eating become something that's actually making life less healthy? This week, we talk about clean eating, guilt and health anxiety, as well as how to navigate meals out when you want to look after your health without slipping back into restriction.We also ask whether 90g of fibre a day could actually be too much, and whether very high fibre intakes can interfere with nutrient absorption. Plus, we investigate the mushroom and de-bloating gummies taking over social media and whether there's any evidence behind their claims.And for parents, is daily cacao okay for young children, and do chia seeds really need to be pre-soaked? Finally, if sugar-free squash is the only thing that gets you drinking enough water, is it really something you need to worry about?  The Way 30-day trail: https://www.thewayapp.com/wellnessscoop Send your questions for our weekly Q&A to ⁠⁠hello@wellness-scoop.com⁠⁠ For more from Rhi and Ella:  Order your copy of Ella's new book: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Quick Wins: Healthy Cooking for Busy Lives⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Order your copy of Rhi's new book: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Fibre Formula⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pre-order your copy of Rhiannon's brand-new cook book for kids: ⁠⁠'Ready, Set, Cook!' ⁠ Sign up to Rhitrition+ HERE Learn more about your ad choices.

    The Best Gut Health Snack, Butter's Big Comeback & Are Vegetables Half as Healthy?

    What's the best snack for supporting your gut health? Why is everyone suddenly obsessed with butter again? And are our vegetables really half as nutritious as they were 60 years ago? And why do we suddenly hate peas?!  This week, we explore nine simple snacks that could help support your gut microbiome, from kefir and chia pudding to pistachios and dark chocolate dates. We also unpack the extraordinary butter revival, from butter sommeliers to the debate around saturated fat and ultra-processed spreads, and whether butter really deserves its new healthy image. Plus, surprising research suggesting some of our everyday foods contain fewer nutrients than they did decades ago, what soil health and modern farming have to do with it, and why this matters even more as GLP-1 medications become increasingly popular. We also look at the fascinating link between cats and happiness, why tongue scraping is making mainstream news, and the latest concerns around processed meat and bowel cancer.

    Are Energy Drinks Bad for You? Meal Prep Myths & Anti-Inflammatory Diets

    Are energy drinks really as bad as they seem? This week, we look at what’s actually inside them, whether there are any benefits and what drinking them regularly could mean for our health. We also tackle some everyday nutrition worries: does chopping fruit and veg in advance significantly reduce its nutrients, and are you losing the goodness of frozen fruit by defrosting it in the microwave? Plus, we look at anti-inflammatory diets and whether there’s evidence they can help with conditions like endometriosis. Finally, we unpack the concerns around folic acid being added to flour.

    Is There a Best Diet for Ageing? HRV & Nervous System Resets

    Is there really one best diet for healthy ageing? What does your HRV actually tell you about your health and recovery? And do we really need all these nervous system “resets” we keep seeing online? This week, we unpack fascinating new research comparing 10 different healthy diets and why the results suggest there may be many ways to eat well as we age. We also explore what HRV can and can’t tell us, how the vagus nerve fits into the nervous system conversation and what actually helps our bodies recover from stress. Plus, the simple childhood experiences linked with greater wellbeing later in life, supermarkets changing how they define “healthy” food, and why perhaps we all need to stop trying to optimise quite so much.

    Can You Rebuild Your Gut? Healthy Carbs & Undoing Past Habits

    Can you rebuild your gut after a course of antibiotics? This week, we look at what really helps the microbiome recover, from fibre and fermented foods to what you might want to eat in those first few weeks. We also tackle the fear around microplastics and chemicals in tinned foods, how to bring carbs back into your diet after years of diet culture, and whether the 80/20 rule is actually useful. Plus, can a healthier lifestyle today help offset some of the choices you made in your teens and twenties? We talk heart health, cancer risk and why it’s never too late to make positive changes. And we get personal on raising children with a healthy relationship with their bodies, before finishing with a much lighter recommendation: the Korean exfoliating mitt we keep talking about.

    Could Loneliness Cost You 6 Healthy Years? The Beauty of Boredom & Heart Health Hacks

    Could loneliness really affect how many healthy years we live? Could letting our minds wander actually be good for our brains? And can tiny bursts of movement throughout the day make a meaningful difference to our heart health? This week, we unpack fascinating new research linking loneliness and social isolation with fewer years spent free from major physical and mental health conditions. We also explore the surprising benefits of letting our minds wander, from memory and learning to decision-making, and ask whether our phones are stealing the empty moments our brains need. Plus, eight brilliantly simple ways to support heart health, why a Huel advert promoting an all-Huel diet has been banned, and whether your daily cup of tea is actually good for you.

    Can You Break a 10-Year Habit? The Protein & Weight Loss Link & Dark Chocolate

    How do you actually break a habit that’s been part of your life for a decade? Does eating more protein really help with weight loss? And should you worry about eating dark chocolate before bed? This week, we answer your questions on the science of habits and why willpower might not be the best way to make lasting changes. We also unpack the link between protein, fullness and weight loss, and why fibre and healthy fats matter too. Plus, how to fuel an active lifestyle, whether you really need electrolytes, the difference between omega-3s from seeds and fish, and whether a few squares of dark chocolate at night are really worth worrying about.

    Beat the Afternoon Slump, Sleep Better & Why Every Minute of Exercise Counts

    Why do so many of us hit an energy slump around 3pm? Could what you eat during the day help you sleep better that night? And when it comes to exercise, does every minute really count? This week, we unpack new research linking fibre and a greater variety of plant foods with better sleep, and look at why the answer isn’t one magical “sleep food”. We also explore the science behind the afternoon energy slump, what to eat when it hits and why fruit sugar isn’t the same as the sugar in sweets. Plus, fascinating new research on why maintaining movement as we age matters, whether obsessing over your sleep score could actually make you feel worse, and the growing evidence behind tai chi.
