Let Food Be Thy Medicine: Use These 5 Food Facts Everyday To Heal Your Body | Tim Spector

Professor Tim Spector rarely eats bananas these days. He treats a glass of fruit juice as he would a can of cola. And, despite having to watch his blood pressure, he no longer restricts the salt he adds to food. Controversial views? Perhaps, if heard out of context. But, as Tim explains in this episode of my Feel Better Live More podcast, these are just a few examples of new thinking he has adopted on certain foods, since discovering his own, personal metabolic response to them.

I'm British, late 50s. When I was at school (secondary) I was told off by the nutritionist/nurse. She asked me if I ate breakfast everyday and I said no. She immediately put it down to either poor parenting or I was dieting/weight watching. I told her it was because I didn't like breakfast so early and liked to eat when I'm hungry. I am still that way, and now I hear that in fact it's good to intermittently fast. I've never dieted in my life. Went with my gut instict (pun intended!)

[@s.h.6858]

I find it's hard to eat before my body has had time to "wake up". But if I'm not waking to an alarm clock, breakfast is sooner after waking. Also, I've never cared for most breakfast foods, so breakfast for me is frequently left overs or "lunch"...

[@Teach.Experience.Dance-Vicky]

My daughter is almost 20 and up until she went to primary school all those years ago , I never gave her sugar or junk food and the nursery she went to cooked all food from scratch . At primary school the school meals were much poorer and they rewarded kids with pizza nights , coke and sweets - and I felt totally powerless to stop this Especially when lots of her friends already hated real food . It’s so hard and parents should have more choice and more say in this - it’s so sad that we now have more and more evidence to support this and yet nothing has changed Jamie Oliver tried so hard to change this and was not supported 😢

[@frankg8861]

Kids are in elementary school, and they're inundated with junk food from other kids and even the teacher themselves.

Lining their pocket is the mean concerned. If they can make good profit from the food they supplied, they will do it. Otherwise, no way.

Started to eat 2 meals a day instead of 3. Reduced my carbs amount by quite a bit. Replaced my morning coffee by organic Sencha green tea from Japan and my health and overall energy during the day increased by a lot.

[@ThePersonalDevelopmentSchool]

How did you stop the morning coffee?! That's my vice... was it hard the first few days? Weeks?

[@exactly1176]

​@ThePersonalDevelopmentSchool So here is how I did it (I already tried quitting cold turkey but it didn't work) I used to have 2 big cups of coffee every morning so here is how I quit in 4 weeks : First week : 1 cup of coffee and half a cup of coffee. Second week : 1 cup of coffee and 1 cup of decaf . Third week : a blend 50% decaf 50% coffee (I just blend it together) and I drunk one cup of this every morning. Fourth week : 1 cup of decaf and that's it. And then I started drinking organic Japanese green tea (just 1 cup in the morning).

[@exactly1176]

​@@ThePersonalDevelopmentSchooland no it wasn't hard this way. But it was hard (horrible withdrawal symptoms) when I tried quitting coffee cold turkey in the past so I don't recommend quitting cold turkey. Give yourself a month to quit coffee and to switch to green tea just after. It's gonna be easier this way 😊 . You will also still feel energetic thanks to green tea but much more relaxed, way less stressed and you will also get a better sleep at night ! (Yes quitting coffee improved my deep sleep even though I drunk it only in the morning which is crazy) but yeah ! My sleep is much better now ! @__@ My focus and overall energy is also better throughout the whole day! I don't crash and feel super tired around 2 or 3pm like i used to when I was drinking coffee . Also green tea gives you a more stable energy thanks to its low amount in caffeine and hight amount in L-theanine (activates serotonin in your brain).

[@jimmy7434]

I’m on two meals a day. Shockingly I never feel hunger pangs in the morning. Without planning it, I go about 17 hours between last meal one day, and first the next.

I teach 5th grade in North Carolina. Our school day begins at 9:15. This year, I didn't schedule a snack time, as our lunch time is at 12:20. You would have been astonished at the parental uproar. The office received email upon email upon outraged calls that I was practically abusing the children by not providing a snack time. Won't try something that daring again!

[@SueMaha21]

I agree 100% Schools should be teaching children the importance of nutrition and get rid of all the vending machines and unhealthy foods they keep pushing on our kids.

[@winstonbrown1516]

On a very basic level of bad nutrition would be good, however with all the different ideas of what is actually good nutrition the problems begins.

[@trees915]

Teaching the importance of nutrition starts in the home. Parents expect teachers to teach their children basic skills that should be taught at home.

These days, schools would be teaching that meats are worse than candy and or that sugar cereal is healthier than eggs....

[@incensejunkie7516]

Look to soups and stews to up your veggie count. I just made a huge pot of borscht yesterday - 10 veggies in total - 11 if you add potatoes (beets, cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, green beans, peas, beet greens, dill, onions and garlic). Soups - hot or cold - are a great addition to a meal; you eat less of the main meal and get the added benefit of the veggie fibre. Zucchini and eggplant have little flavour but soak up the flavours of the soup or stew they're used in. Snacks - nuts, veggies with dip or a favourite of mine, stuffed celery (nut butters, pate, cream cheese with herbs, tuna or salmon salad). Sometimes it just entails getting out of a rut, but there are lots of possibilities. Sadly, so many store bought veggies are bland (of course nothing beats garden or locally grown).

[@JCX-9]

I love soups my favorite food since childhood. You are also consuming liquids that make you feel full. I also make these easy soups where i boil some grass fed ground beef which doesn’t require long cooking and add some veggies at the end so they don’t overcook. After all done i use the miso paste to add flavor. It’s quick and satisfying yet healthy.

[@loftonrudolph7586]

Soups are essential for me! Today I am finally making chicken soup because the weather is cool and I've been craving it all summer. I put a ton of veggies in it including massive garlic, sweet potato, onion, cauliflower etc. Sometimes it's hard to get a salad down!

[@claudettesechler149]

Fantastic discussion! Every decade of my life is different and we are all unique for sure. As a fit 71 year old woman my circadian rhythm surely has changed. I love working out in the evening and making a great dinner with wonderful food and eat when my dinner is ready and it’s late but my husband and I have so much fun and we do wait three hours after eating before bed and don’t eat really until 12:00 or 1:00 the next day. I feel phenomenal and listening to this makes me feel so much better about my circadian rhythm at this stage of my life.

[@dyarom4575]

[@minimayhemadventures]

I did an experiment with my son in the hospital, we checked the sugar content of every item in the vending machine in the waiting room, the lowest sugar content was in a ham salad sandwhich and even that which you would expect to be none, had 15g of sugar in it, the highest was a chocolate bar that had 55g of sugar, and thats the health service! 😅

Another thing that is important regarding school children and their nutrition is the fact that more and more children are dependent upon school meals rather than being fed at home. This is their mind set , the foundation of food and nutrition for their life.

When I was in elementary and middle school we had no vending machines in the school anywhere. In fact vending machines were not nearly as commonn as they are today. Parents packed lunch pales and so it was really the parents who made the choices for their children's nutrition. We had cafeteria food but my parents never allowed us to participate in cafeteria food because my mother knew that the food in our lunch pales that she packed would be healthier for us and she maintained the controll over what we ate. We didn't swap food with other students because we enjoyed the food my mom fed us so much. BTW, my mom was a very good cook and we always looked forward to all our meals 😊👍

[@janelord3483]

I live in.canada but I'm.English but I had my 4 kids here in Canada. My youngest is now 23 . They went to a French school and even back then they did take the vending machines out of the school and even stopped the kids from taking junk food and candy for there lunches and snacks. The school also put on a breakfast club that anyone could go to before school started so everyone had food before class started. Once a month was pizza at lunch but there were also healthier option of a wrap with veggies and fruit etc. We have a lot of orchards around us and they would bring in boxes of apples to the school every afternoon and take them.aroumd to the classrooms and let the kids choose one to eat or to take home. Even in safeway they have a basket of fruit available for the kids to take one to snack on while shopping with there parents. I think we have been very lucky

So what are the 5 foods?.

[@LTPottenger]

And make sure to do some fasting! The benefits of lowering carbs and doing some fasting are truly incredible. Some benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting. Fasting restores NAD+ to healthy levels. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. It will also remove any 'foreign material' like spikes that are not supposed to be there. Whether natural or unnatural in origin.. Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time. Fasting increases nitric oxide release. Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. Reflexes and short term memory are increased. Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release! After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies, rejuvenating your entire immune system. This helps prevent the onset of new autoimmune conditions, which develop through a leaky gut and damaged immune system. Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures. Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. The thymus also plays a vital role in fighting cancer. Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue! The obese will lose extra tissue like loose skin while fasting, but the skinny or frail will have increased growth hormone release than the obese, which helps to make more lean tissue and reduce frailness. The hunger hormone ghrelin also lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting. When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell required for viruses to replicate. What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building. Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS. Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system in a similar way to CBD oil. Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function. One day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again! Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers. Some patients may need continued acid reduction medication while fasting. Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose. Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency. Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer. A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast and seek advice.

[@RhaniYago]

I am 65 now and through all my school life I had a sandwich at the "big break at 10", made from brown or "grey" bread, with a slice of cheese or salami. And maybe an apple. During the first four years in primary school we also got 0.25 l of milk or cacao. My three children always took a sandwich to school with some fruit, until they were so old that it was no longer "cool" to bring their meal to school and the schools started selling pizza/chocolate bars/ etc. So for me it was always normal to have something to eat at 10. It is very interesting to learn that studies show that this is not necessary and there is no blood sugar dip without this small meal. Or does this only apply to sweets and cakes? I remember that when I was around 12-14 years old during the PMS phase I went around and asked other children/youngsters whether they had a spare sandwhich, as I was always hungry, so I guess I really needed it. And I was always quite slim.

[@TheValSawyer]

I loved this conversation. Thanks. I'm a couple months from 80 and I've been super conscious of what I'm eating since my early 20s so almost 60 years. I was in terrible physical condition, hardly able to walk, at around 24 or 25. Doctors recommending 25 aspirin a day if you can imagine. Approached by an eccentric man in a cafe who saw me struggling and rudely told me to not drink the glass of milk I'd ordered then proceeded to tell me about the macrobiotic diet. Anyway, there's really no way to make this long story short apparently but I was pretty desperate, did brown rice and veg for a few days then I think 3 days of lemon juice and molasses in a cup of hot water a few times a day for 3 days then few days of veg and increased days of lemon juice/molasses until I did 21 days of just that. By that time I was fine. Sounds good eh, but don't be fooled. I've been alternating periods of fabulous and miserable ever since. But hey, I made it this far. I probably eat a lot like you advocate here, in the main, but I'm going to do something about the when. Anyway, thanks for this. So interesting.

[@theanswerismeat]

Tim's comments about breakfast are based on his belief that this is the meal you can best control and that when you head out into the big bad world, it's more difficult. Which I appreciate. However, this nuance is key -- I have full control over my dietary intake as we are living in the country, work within our home / farm space and thus I don't break my fast until noon. Removing the presumed 'time association' with breakfast I think is valuable.

[@frogmouth]

Disagree. If you look at him you can see he doesn't need to delay breakfast. He monitors his sugar. I do better having breakfast mid morning or occasionally as late as noon. And the point about varying breakfast because you can control it is good . I work one day a week beginning 6:30am am and by 9 I am generally hungry . I take breakfast as I don't have a formal break until 1130. Having good food in a lunch box keeps me away from the coffee and carbs snacks provided by the workplace!

Ken D Berry MD, Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Robert Lustig, Dr. Annette Bosworth (Dr. Boz), Dr. Eric Westman, and the list goes on and on. There would be more, but it's not financially rewarding as some of their other activities.

[@batteriesincluded7188]

Rangan, this is yet another great podcast. I've seen Tim Spector on other shows before, and I 100% agree with his thoughts. I think the biggest hurdle, at least for some persons, is in incorporating this advice with the already massive body of nutritional health advice out there. The more I learn, the less I feel it's possible to hit all these goals without there being a completely regimented, pellet-based diet or going to extremes like Bryan Johnson. Regardless, I think the moral of the story is that we should just keep learning and trying to stay healthy, even if it seems overwhelming.

Hi Recently discovered Zoe's podcasts & love them. They are very informative so Thank you all. I share with my friends. But when you say eat mixed vegetables Dr Gundry says Nightshades are dangerous for our gut. Soak 2 days of beans in water then boil & throw its water. Lectins which make us arthritis, joint pain & other problems. So Dr Gundry says to choose our vegetables and grains before we eat. I limited my veggies & grains after listening to him😢. I stopped quinia on my OMAD diet. My knee pains stopped. I’m 60+ Also, he advised certain starch cereal is better, Not all starch. Nuts Ohh My God Dr. Gundry says Cashew nuts worst I threw them into bin. Only macadamia nuts Brazil nuts almonds but the red part of almonds is lectin😳😳😳 So limited my vegan diet. Also, expensive way I know... No chia No seeds they are mostly loaded with killer lectins. So this diet is against me hope I can follow this diet but I got the benefit by taking our lectins away from my diet. I soak all my beans chickpeas lentils for 2 days & change their water every 3 hours as told. I know not many choices we have in vegetables because of the lectin😎 So follow the diet that fits you. Otherwise like this Dr Very kind & tries to help patients very helpful. I follow him as well but obey a lectin-free diet otherwise walking is impossible for my hubby & he is an architect🫠 & needs to walk without his hips painfully. Chondroitin and glucosamine vitamin helped. Scientist Valuable Dr. David Sinclair's lifespan protocols helped us a lot. Changed our life. Hope all goes well. Also, I follow a Mediterranean diet. I a little white meat in a week, not my husband cause he has other health issues., block arteries etc. Thank you all Also happy to hear Coconut blocks our arteries because it's made of saturated fat... Dr. Nail Barnard & Dr B, W Told us on the "Physician Committee" podcast z Every little helps us. So thank you to all podcasts. In Europe, we were reaching to this advice etc from Doctors over their podcasts but the USA needed this type of health podcast a lot, Now they have a lot couple of years long🤗 How lucky & helpful for us. God Bless you all🙏🙏🙏 💙🌟💫💯💯💯

[@frogmouth]

Gundy overstates the case. I have no problem with tomato and eggplant and enjoy beans lentils etc. I have friends who cannot tolerate these foods . My point is you eat as diverse a range of food as you can and don't listen to others who say don't do dairy don't do letting don't do red meat don't do nightshades. Eat what you can. The only foods to avoid are ultra processed stuff. I went glutenfree for ten years but gradually became less and less tolerant to a range of foods . IA holiday in Taiwan with a large variety of foods woke me up to the benefits of diversity and I can now eat a bit of sourdough or 100% rye several times a week without IBS symptoms

I'm at the point where I realise that essentially we're all a N=1 and are making decisions for our own wellbeing. So if a bunch of folks head down the plant only lifestyle, high carb or whatever, I say let 'em go for it. Ultimately the proof of what works for many, most will never apply to all. I know that lchf, whole food, organically and regeneratively farmed meat / veg, combined with time restricted eating (18:6) works well for me.

What about the NutriNet-Santé study (a long term study in France looking at the diet, lifestyle and health of participants who complete online follow up questionnaires)? In particular, it looked at whether or not they developed type 2 diabetes. The researchers split people into groups, according to what time they ate their first and last meals of the day. They found that people who on average ate breakfast before 8am were 59% less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than people who ate breakfast after 9am. While this was association rather than causality, I would like to know what Tim Spector thinks of this and similar studies.

I believe that it's not a deliberate conditioning that parents aren't teaching their kids to drink water but that parents are so busy that their not aware of the fact that their kids aren't drinking water. This is something however that is as important if not more important as kids brushing their teeth everyday at least once. So when kids don't have this habit of drinking water all day long then its not likely to be a habit they do daily when they grow up. Or teach their own children unless they have developed the habit of drinking water through a more health consciousness later in life.

[@frogmouth]

A parent can't be unaware of water consumption of their kids because if your kids won't drink water it's because you are supplying juice fizz or milky drinks !

Some things that I have noticed if I do homemade bone broths. Figured out that histamine was high and there is a way to not cook it that way over time. Also cooking with Virgin olive oil has a temperature limit when using it to cook with so butter is better in what way you cook. Difficult to find sauerkraut in Cambodia. Kimchi will do for now. Some vegetables can give you gas like caulifower but choose another vegetable or the mix of food with it or not so much.

[@dennisward43]

It all depends on what food you eat. If you eat a lot of carbs( mainly sugary or starchy food) you are more likely to feel hungry sooner. I try to avoid those although I do have potatoes sometimes. I can easily manage 30 different plants in a week by making a huge mixed bean/mushroom/onion stew with garlic/spices/herbs that I eat for lunch and that lasts for 4/5 days. I also make a variety of nuts/seeds with kefir for breakfast (10am-ish) and vary evening meal with a salmon/goat cheese salad every other day.

[@JCX-9]

You should do what you feel is best for you. I have tried few times to not eat breakfast and paid the price by getting dizzy later on. Not for me and i am a healthy eater so can’t blame eating something unhealthy the night before. What you can do too is eat your dinner earlier in the evening so than you have many hours of fasting till breakfast. But most of all listen to your body, if you feel hungry eat then. We listen to all these experts but we need to use our discernment on how to eat or not eat. For me prolong fasting doesn’t work so i am not going to do it because it’s the latest fad. I am very selective in what i eat and eat uncomplicated meals. Not many ingredients. I might have a piece of meat, fish but that’s it I don’t have whole bunch of side’s because I feel full already without adding anything else. I also follow the blood type diet and practically eat foods that are beneficial to my blood type. This has worked for me well for many years already.
