How to Fix Your Health with Nutrition: Tips from Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, Professor Felice Jacka, and Professor Tim Spector
In a recent episode of the Feel Better Live More podcast, renowned health experts Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, Professor Felice Jacka, and Professor Tim Spector shared their insights on how nutrition can save your mental health and why everything you’ve been told about food is wrong. Here are some of their top tips for fixing your health with nutrition.
Tip 1: Focus on Real Food
Dr. Rangan Chatterjee emphasized the importance of focusing on real food rather than processed and packaged foods. He explains that real food is nutrient-dense and can help nourish your body, while processed and packaged foods often contain additives and preservatives that can harm your health. Professor Tim Spector agrees, stating that many of the chemicals found in processed foods can disrupt our gut microbiome, impacting our overall health.
Tip 2: Increase Your Fiber Intake
Professor Felice Jacka highlights the importance of fiber in our diets, stating that it is essential for a healthy gut microbiome. Fiber promotes good gut health and can help regulate blood sugar levels and promote satiety, which can aid in weight management. She recommends increasing fiber intake by eating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.
Tip 3: Pay Attention to Portion Size
Professor Tim Spector cautions against overeating, saying it can lead to inflammation and other health problems. He suggests paying attention to portion sizes and eating until you feel satisfied rather than stuffed. Dr. Rangan Chatterjee adds that we should also avoid eating in front of screens, such as TV or computer screens, as it can lead to mindless eating and overconsumption.
Tip 4: Eat a Variety of Foods
All three experts agree that eating various foods is key to good health. Professor Tim Spector explains that our gut microbiome thrives on diversity and that eating multiple foods can help promote a healthy microbiome. Dr. Rangan Chatterjee also emphasizes the importance of eating seasonal and locally sourced foods to ensure our bodies receive nutrients.
Tip 5: Pay Attention to Food Quality
Professor Felice Jacka encourages people to pay attention to food quality rather than calories. She explains that not all calories are created equal and that we should focus on eating foods high in nutrients, low in added sugars, and unhealthy fats. She recommends avoiding processed and fast foods as much as possible and choosing whole, nutrient-dense foods.
The Bottom Line
Fixing your health with nutrition doesn’t have to be complicated. You can improve your health and well-being by focusing on real food, increasing fiber intake, paying attention to portion size, eating a variety of foods, and paying attention to food quality. Always consult with a healthcare professional before changing your diet or lifestyle.
