We covered a lot on today’s @bbcmorninglive. Towards the end the chat was all about adzuki beans.

Before that we talked about the research from King’s College which looks at the relationship between Omega 3 and depression. You can find out more on this particular topic on my podcast with Dr Uma Naidoo and a bunch more on the Eating for Mental Health episode with Professor Felice Jacka.

Also on the show we had a discussion about compulsory vaccines for frontline healthcare staff.
We already have a suite of vaccines we should have including tetanus, polio & MMR (unless medically exempt). Should Covid 19 vaccines be part of the list, I’m keen to hear people’s thoughts?

This spring vegetable, miso butter and teriyaki ri

This spring vegetable, miso butter and teriyaki rice recipe is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. It's one of my favourite quick go-to's.
⏰ Cook time, 10 minutes
⏰ Prep time, 10 minutes
🥗 Diet type, vegetarian (vegan if you swap butter to a dairy free spread)

Wholegrains have long been regarded as beneficial for human health. But aside from just being a source of fibre that feeds our gut microbes, ingredients like wholegrain rice contain a number of plant chemicals in their bran layers (which are kept on in brown rice, and stripped off in white).

In addition to B vitamins, these layers contain phytosterols, flavonoids, and phenolics which may explain the potential anti-diabetic, anti-cholesterol and cardioprotective properties of wholegrains. Another suggestion is that specific phenolics in wholegrain rice can persist further along the digestive tract where they interact with your microbiota to favour the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio.

Most people look at rice and think ... Carb. But when I look at rice (or food in general) I like to think of these as diverse nutritional compounds with a wealth of effects on the human body (far too grand to fit into 1 social media post!)

Did you catch myself and @arthritisfoodie on @BBCM

Did you catch myself and @arthritisfoodie on @BBCMorningLive this morning?
We had a chat about anti-inflammatory foods and arthritis.

Some of the key anti-inflammatory foods people can incorporate into their diets to help are typically rich in colour.
This includes:
👉Herbs and spices
👉Polyphenols - red and green foods
👉Egcg- matcha
👉Curcumin - turmeric
👉Hydroxytyrosol - extra virgin olive oil
👉Carnosol - basil, rosemary,
👉Gingerol - ginger
👉Resveratrol - peanuts / red wine / grapes
👉Kaempferol - greens
And for general gut health:
👉Fibre foods - lentils pulses etc

A Mediterranean diet/foods is a great base/place to start.

There's an in depth page on my website under the inflammation section under the health tab all about eating for arthritis. If you'd like to know more 🙌
