Professor Tim Spector: diet exercise advice

I have never heard of him .

I read his blog on what he eats in a day...lots of fermented foods and healthy things if ciurse. However I did read the work he and his team have done on inflammation in the body as related to certain auto immune disorders and other conditions such as arthritis. I'm one of the 4.4 million who log in everyday on the Zoe website to record data during the pandemic and after. The research articles are fascinating.

The work he does is brilliant and, imo it is the future of medicine. It just got to me tonight, though, seeing advice to eat lots of Mediterranean food and have a two week holiday in Spain when so many people can’t afford to do that.

To be fair the post doesn’t say you have to have a two week holiday in Spain but is about prioritising sleep, time with family and meditating all of which can be done without spending extra. From memory I think either Tim or his wife are partly from somewhere Mediterranean so it could be he was just spending time with extended family.
His diet advice is mainly about avoiding ultra processed food as much as possible and trying to eat as varied a diet as possible including different coloured fruit and vegetables. Again that is something that can be done relatively cheaply especially using frozen vegetables which he recommends.
