Appearances
Be careful of things like almond milk, which is highly processed.
Ditch your soft drinks and sport drinks for natural drinks like milk, water or juice.
With bread, the ultra-processed breads, the white variety that's sliced, is better changed for multi-grain bread.
Ice cream, either the occasional treat or moved to plain yogurt.
Those things are two different categories for me.
I never have ice cream in the morning.
That's right.
And when you're eating red meat, for example, go for red meat that's unprocessed and low fat rather than processed meats, which are definitely associated with increased risk of colon cancer.
And the other thing in terms of a definition of ultra-processed foods is just the number of ingredients and the number of additives.
And those additives are really not proven in terms of their effect on our health and well-being.
And room in your tummy as well as room in your diet.
So start with that and push out the ultra-processed.
We've had lots of feedback on our hair episode.
Yeah, your friend who is an art historian emailed us, Norman.
Yes, Candice emailed in.
Do you know that story about John Ruskin being horrified on his wedding night that his bride had pubic hair because he'd only seen nudity in classical sculpture?
And Candice goes on, the marriage was annulled after years and years and she immediately married the artist John Everett Millay and had eight children.
Well, animals kind of have hair everywhere.
What's going on?
Whenever you find something like this, which is hard to explain, then you cook up explanations that have got no way of being proven.
