Should You Eat Differently With Age? The Additives Ban & School Food Shake-Up

About this episode

Should the way we eat change as we get older? This week, we look at the foods and nutrients that become increasingly important through our thirties, forties, fifties and sixties, from fibre and protein to supporting our heart, bones, gut and muscle health. We also unpack Tesco’s decision to restrict or ban 114 additives from its own-brand foods. Is this another sign that concerns around ultra-processed food have gone mainstream, and does fewer additives necessarily mean healthier food? Plus, we look at the biggest overhaul of school food in more than a decade, including more vegetables, wholegrains and pulses, and tighter rules around fried foods, sugary puddings and processed meat. And finally, after our recent conversation about GLP-1s and the pressure to be thin, you got in touch. We share some of your experiences of food noise, body image, postpartum pressure and the complicated feelings these drugs are creating even for people who don't medically need to lose weight.
