What we know is that from, again, our own research and also published research, people eating late into the night and not allowing their body and their gut to rest, we know that they're at higher risk of many cardiometabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes. They tend to be overweight. They tend to have higher inflammation, blood pressure, etc.,

So resting your gut by giving it maybe a 12 or if you're happy to a 14 hour period where you're not eating each day. So if you're giving a 12 hour period, that just means having your last meal at eight o'clock and your first meal at eight o'clock the next morning. If you're comfortable going to 14 hours, maybe just have your last meal at seven and don't have your breakfast till nine.

It's got to work for you. And we've done this wonderful study called the Big If Study, the Big Intermittent Fasting Study, where we ask people, to change to eating in a 10-hour window, so fasting for 14 hours. Most people found it quite easy to do. You don't need to go to extreme. Then the fifth one is reduce your intake of unhealthy, heavily processed foods.

We're eating too much of these kinds of foods. You can also call them ultra-processed foods. 50 to 60% of our diet on average in the UK and the US is coming from these unhealthy, heavily processed foods. We are eating an enormous amount. I mean, if I could give you one single thing, if I had to take a kind of punt on one, it would be reduce your ultra processed foods and the rest would follow.

Just one thing I want to pick up on that. It is really hard to change our diet. And I don't think we should underestimate how hard it is. It's hard because our food landscape is pitted against us. You know, if I'm out and about and I want to get a healthy snack or I want to get, you know, a healthy lunch, it's actually very difficult. And it's difficult also to change diet.

You know, the diets that we were brought up with, the kind of foods that we're used to cooking with, it takes a lot of effort, it takes a lot of brain space, and I don't think we should underestimate that.

I think the important thing is to say, try and just do something simple, because it's only by doing something simple that's easily implementable that you're going to actually have a long-term success.
