    Ultra processed foods: Do we need to give them up?

    Did you know that over 50% of the average adult’s diet—and 65% of a child’s diet—in the UK is made up of ultra-processed foods (UPFs)? 🍞 In this eye-opening episode of Food for Thought, I’m joined by the incredible Dr Giles Yeo (@gilesyeo), a renowned geneticist specialising in obesity and how our brain controls food intake. 🧠 💡 Hormones: Dr Yeo explains how hormones influence our brain's hunger signals and why this matters for weight management. 🌸 Menopause: Discover how hormonal changes during menopause can drastically alter how your body reacts to diet and exercise. 🍞 UPFs: Get the real story on ultra-processed foods—why they’re not all inherently ‘bad,’ but why their prevalence is concerning. 🥗 Healthy Eating: Why is it so hard to access healthy foods? We discuss the barriers that make nutritious options less accessible to many. 🍦 Childhood Obesity: Shockingly, 1 in 4 children under the age of 5 or 6 are overweight. Learn how the cost of living crisis is making it a privilege to eat well—something that shouldn’t be the case. 🏫 School Dinners: Find out why schools are turning to more processed foods to cut costs and the impact this has on the quality of food for children. 💉 Ozempic: Dr Yeo sheds light on the use of weight loss injections like Ozempic and the broader implications of these treatments. 👩‍⚕️ Seek Help: If you’re struggling with weight or diet-related health issues, remember to consult a medical professional for guidance. 🎧 Listen now on Apple Podcasts and Spotify and watch the full episode on YouTube now ✨ #FoodForThoughtPodcast #ObesityAwareness #UPF #Genetics #HealthyLivingTips #ChildhoodObesity #NutritionMatters #HealthyDiets #SchoolMeals Hosted on Acast.
