PROFESSOR SARAH BERRY’S KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Personalized nutrition research shows that individuals respond differently to the same foods based on factors like gut microbiome, genetics, and lifestyle.
Eating slowly and avoiding late-night snacking can significantly improve metabolic health and can reduce calorie intake by 15%. Try to finish eating by 8 PM and maintain a 10-hour eating window for better metabolic health
Healthy diet for menopause: Improving diet quality, particularly by increasing intake of unprocessed fruits, vegetables, and fiber, can reduce menopause symptoms by up to 35%.
Don't fear fats: Seed oils, contrary to popular belief, are not harmful and may have beneficial effects on cholesterol levels when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
Eat the rainbow: Aim for 30 different plant-based foods weekly to boost gut health and overall wellness
