This “food” looks harmless until you see how it’s made. Most commercial yogurt is fermented for 1 to 2 hours, then double-pasteurized. That kills the bacteria. Sugar, gums, starches, and emulsifiers are added to create thickness and flavor. Those same ingredients can feed pathogens, slow bacterial movement, damage the gut lining, and wipe out friendly microbes. If it doesn’t say “live and active cultures” on the label, you’re not getting probiotics. And even when it does, most of those microbes never survive your stomach. Real yogurt ferments for 8 to 36 hours. That long fermentation process changes gut pH, oxygen levels, and feeds keystone microbes that antibiotics and junk food suppress. That environmental shift is the real benefit, not reseeding. If gut health is the goal, yogurt isn’t even the best option. Kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, and other unpasteurized fermented foods contain far more diverse microbial strains and actually support the gut ecosystem. What you saw here isn’t food for your gut. It’s an ultra-processed dessert in disguise. So what can you do? Start by cutting UPFs out of your diet for good.

This one was a huge restock! I’ve been trying to use up bits from my freezer as much as possible to empty it out. Shout out to @sarahberney for the banana cookie recipe. Tortila wraps recipe 240g plain flor + extra for dusting 1 tsp fine sea salt 1/4 tsp baking powder 60g soft butter 160ml warm water Combine dry ingredients. Mix in soft butter roughy, then add the water and knead till it comes together. Tip it onto the surface, using extra flour for dusting knead for 3-5 mins till smooth. Split into 6 balls equal size and rest for 30 mins. Roll out to a rough circle then dry fry in a hot skillet for 30- 40 seconds on each side. Place in a tea towel while the rest cook. #fromscratch #freezerrestock #upf

I might just rinse and repeat this format for anyone who fearmongering and giving inappropriate nutrition advice.... Doctor Van Tulleken is very clearly anti-processed food. And his position as a Doctor makes him seem reliable. Disclaimer: I am not encouraging anyone to ignore medical advice from their doctor. What I think you should be wary of is taking nutrition advice from people who are not qualified and regulated nutrition professionals. Why? Because nutrition is a complex science and we study nutrition for years. Doctors get a few hours. #trustadietitian #sportsnutrition #ultraprocessedfood #upf #sportsdietitian

If like many of us you are trying to reduce your UPFs but still need to indulge in salty, savoury snacks then this may be the recipe for you. It costs less than £1 to make a huge batch and they will last in a tin for up to 2 weeks. You can mix up the seasoning to suit your tastes, why not add in some chopped rosemary, garlic flakes or even some grated cheese. Ingredients 500g Plain Flour Salt and Pepper 80ml Oil 200ml Water Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and bring together into a dough. On floured baking paper, roll out the dough to the thickness of a £1 coin. Slice into cracker shapes and brush with little water. Spread slightly on a tray and pierce with a fork. Sprinkle with some sea salt. Bake on 180°c for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool before storing in a tin for up to 2 weeks. Tip: Use 2 chopping boards to help you roll out the dough.

🥣 Cereal: friend or foe? A topic that’s caused quite a lot of confusion lately. So I wanted to share this research with you from a brand new study on this that looked at 51 studies and had grade A evidence. This latest research says: ✅ cereals are our friend! Wholegrain, high-fibre, lower-sugar cereals can boost your fibre, vitamins & minerals and may even lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes & total cancer. So yes, cereal can be part of a balanced, nourishing diet. Top it with fruit and seeds for that all round nutrition and yumminess.

After cutting out ultra-processed food, the difference can be dramatic. Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) make up about 57 percent of the average adult diet and 67 percent of children’s diets. On a high ultra-processed food diet, people consume around 500 extra calories per day, often without realizing it, partly because most people eat two to four times the listed serving size. These foods are engineered to be addictive, with about 14 percent of adults and 12 percent of children meeting addiction criteria, similar to alcohol and tobacco. Over time, this adds up, with ultra-processed food consumption linked to 10.5 percent of all premature deaths. In as little as three days after removing ultra-processed foods, cravings can begin to fade and appetite regulation starts to return. Make the change and cut out UPFs for good.

This is not food. This is engineered junk. Highly processed products are designed to drive overconsumption, not to support health. They are often packed with: • Added sugars • Refined carbohydrates • Unhealthy fats • Excess sodium • Artificial additives While lacking what your body actually needs….. Regular consumption is linked with: ⚠ Increased cravings ⚠ Energy instability ⚠ Metabolic stress ⚠ Higher risk of lifestyle diseases Your body deserves nourishment, not manipulation. #packgedfood #nutritionlabel #trendingreels #junkfood #upf

In the sun, protection isn’t just about sunscreen. ☀️⁠ ⁠ 🧴 SPF is in the products that you apply to your skin - think sun creams, lotions and sticks 👕 UPF is in special clothing which helps to block UV rays ⁠ Together they form your ultimate defence against sun damage, pigmentation, and premature ageing.⁠ ⁠ If you want long-term skin health, it’s not one or the other, it’s both! 🌞⁠ ⁠ #kbeauty #koreandoctor #kbeautydoctor #glassskin #spf #upf #koreanskincare #skincare #suncare #doctor ⁠
