from The Wellness Scoop · host The Wellness Scoop

Could fasting help protect our brains as we age? Have we been too quick to label all ultra-processed foods as unhealthy? And why has Britain suddenly gone completely mad for beans?This week, we unpack fascinating new research into meal timing and cognitive health, explore a major study challenging some of the assumptions around UPFs, and dive into the extraordinary rise of beans as our obsession with fibre continues. Plus, we look at the latest safety data on weight-loss drugs, why matcha has gone truly mainstream and what Greggs can tell us about the changing way Britain wants to eat.
