They got better mood, better energy, they had less bloating, and they enjoyed it.
A third didn't.
It is personalized, but there's absolutely no evidence that it's harmful, as long as it's not extreme.
And I think what we're talking about is really quite modest ones of 12 to 14 hours without eating, which is not the same as going three days without eating.
Well, it's probably not a big surprise.
I think the next year is going to be the year of the brain and how we can tell more and more people about the gut-brain connection, how people outside this room who aren't aficionados can connect
start to see the links themselves between the terrible food environment and their poor mental health and the rise in dementia.
And, you know, I think all our studies are now really gearing up to be looking at these factors much more.
Every time we do a ZOE study, we're going to be looking at mood and energy and all these brain things first.
I'm told these in the app, like we used to in the COVID studies, when people were looking at their mood so people can track their
their mental health, just like they track their blood pressure and everything else.
And I think people will see these changes and hopefully this will lead to a real revolution in how we see food and see this is the real antidote to the epidemic of brain diseases that we're having at the moment.
And we can start to spread the word.
And the microbiome stuff hopefully will also give us clues because we've now got this database of
you know, over a third of a million people, you know, of which a fifth have got some depression, and we can actually highlight microbes that we can target in the future with prebiotics and probiotics.
So, yeah, I'm super excited that, you know, we can tackle the hardest problem of all, which is, you know, getting our brains healthier, and we all need them.
There isn't an official definition of supplement as far as I'm aware, but it's usually some chemical that you have as a pill or a liquid or a powder that will replace a deficiency and improve your health.
and this is why we have supplements added to foods all the time routinely some of them by law for example in breads when you strip out the normal bit of the wheat you lose the normal vitamins that are there the b vitamins and so by law you have to supplement that food again with what you're lacking so that's the general remit but it's a very broad area and it's usually the
taken to be things that are in some chemical form rather than in a food form.
Ricketts, for example, all these pictures 100 years ago in Glasgow of kids with bendy joints.
