More segments like this pls!!

[@hanaowens5988]

What an EXCELLENT segment ! Loved it x

[@sanya2479]

We need more segments on this… Less baking and more on healthy foods please. We have to stop relying on pharmaceutical products. They are sometimes unnecessary and we are encouraged to rely on them to line their profits. Healthy food, water, exercise daily and a supportive tribe - let’s get back to basics.

[@ritageorge2348]

I refer to the doctors as Drug pushers unfortunately in the legal way. Every tablet is a chemical. I won’t forget this comment made by my doctor when l asked for sleeping tablets, she replied try the herbal ones they are better for you.

[@punishanpika]

And none of the synthetic morals and ideologies of modern society poisoning your mind.

[@Cosmic-Wanderer]

The problem is the pharma and food co exist. The food companies pump everything with unnecessary carcinogenic chemicals + pesticides, inflammatory ingredients which is why everybody is developing diseases, intolerances and cancer rates is now 1 in 2. These nasty evil items also extract nutrients from the body when ingested and who benefits from more people dying and becoming sick? Of course Pharma. Everything is clockwork. They all work together not just these 2 sectors. If people could really see what these horrors running the world are really doing to us i think society would collapse.

[@EngineeringScience015]

Kudos to this lady. She knows her stuff.

[@ACXIAO666]

the only thing she said wrong was the Olive Oil, olive oil oxidize's. Replace Olive oil with butter

[@user-xx6ud8iq7g]

@@ACXIAO666not even watched the video but most the world can’t tolerate dairy and the countries that eat the most olive oil live longest.

[@Rise-and-Shine333]

Not really. Tomatoes are literally poison to many people which she failed to mention

[@jamie.goodson]

@@ACXIAO666 Please don't do this. Olive oil is a superfood - it contains healthy fats (monosaturated fats), is high in anti oxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties. Butter on the other hand contains saturated fats which can negatively impact health (in comparison to olive oil). There's a reason the Mediterranean diet is considered the healthiest diet :)

[@JamesTaylor117]

How do you know she knows her stuff? Aren’t we just taking her word for it? This advice could be bad advice for all we know, as laypeople.

[@sherylmarshall1444]

Have you tried potatoes isolation and with fats and proteins ? Really interested in the difference

[@1bethnal]

I can't eat potatoes at all. I was prediabetic and given a diet sheet that I followed and made it worse and I was just tipping into diabetes. Since I've stopped eating veg and gone carnivore my blood glucose is normal.

[@sorscha1308]

Don't know about potatos but it has been proven in pasta. I think they tested it on reheated after frozen pasta though, so maybe that's the difference. Not sure it works the same on just 'cooled' then reheated and in the testing i saw, they didn't try potato.

[@mingzy]

Freezing the bread.. should we eat it frozen or reheat it?

[@1bethnal]

It doesn't work. I tried it with my glucometer. It's nonsense.

[@c.d.c9425]

Freezing bread is a great way to store it anyway. Doesn't go stale or mouldy like if you leave it out. Put it straight into the toaster from frozen or heat it in the microwave if you're making a sandwich. Always tastes as fresh as when you bought it

Great way for the price of food to increase is to call it a "superfood". 🙄 And no, these ingredients alone could not "save your life". Such click bait drama from the media & this chick who thinks she knows so much. 🙄

[@magickittenz]

I had an amazing teacher for Design and Technology, and he actually proved with a colour wheel showing the contrast of Heinz blue label and the orange beans, that the reason for it's modernly success is because the packaging increased the vibrance. I'm saying this because the woman said tinning improves colour, but I don't believe this.

[@CatsJP]

Firstly…….How long has she been a nutritionist and more importantly an “influencer”?….Secondly….no mention of how much quantity is needed and how long do you need to eat these products for….before you get the full benefits….like most foods you need to keep them in your “daily” diet to be beneficial anyway.

Anyone that has a brain knows what foods to eat. Just make sure everything is whole food. But keep an eye on fats from meat and dairy for low cholestrol.

[@papaspaulding]

Yup, in most cases when people say "this has been proving to *insert health benefit" what they dont tell you is that in many to most cases. A, it's only in some studies and the general meta analysis doesnt support those findings yet as a whole. And B, there is a daily effective dosage of said micro nutrients in said findings which 9 times out of ten far exceeds what anyone would be eating in one day without supplementing it in some form of pill or powder over a long time period daily to get that same dose response. C, the effects/findings are extremely minimal even at higher doses and only in some subjects.

She has a bsc in nutrition from kings college. She shares recipes, she isn’t really an influencer.

Lots of use of the words associated and suggested cardiac health benefits but sadly not any proven evidence. These influencers should not be taken seriously and viewers should only listen to scientists who have done research and are on top of the latest research. Some of the foods she mentioned have negative effects on health, example tomatoes are high in lectins which cancel any benefits she mentioned. Main advice from experts is eat less processed foods including tinned products.

[@yvonneadebola5407]

[@utubehandle]

@@yvonneadebola5407 I dont care where she's been educated she should not give false advise w.r.t. heart heath because shes wrongly mentioning benefits which are incorrect.

[@farfromnorth]

It’s important to note that almost every food has a negative side effect. Canned, frozen and dried food is going to be better than processed fast food. It’s important to eat fruits, vegetables and organic meats and eat until you feel full. Unlike processed fast food the benefits of these foods out weigh the negatives. So any chance you get to switch out a Big Mac with a homemade burger with olive oil, organic meats or vegetables and salads 100% make the effort and enjoy the process! ❤

Where's the meat at? We need beef, liver, organs. Those are the most nutrient dense foods on the planet. Beef dripping is healthier than olive oil too. Vegetables are a poor source of vitamins, frozen fruit and vegetables are disgusting, they have preservatives in. When you look into things more, you understand

[@Agniusa]

Hello, very interesting what've mentioned. Yes, my grandmother always cooked with lard as well back in the day. Not sure which one is better / healthier... and what to use instead or where to find better source of vitamins, vegetables, and then frozen fruits? ( as got lots of intolerances to supplements - of "vegetables are a poor source of vitamins, frozen fruit and vegetables". ... - as on cannot always buy and eat fresh food everyday. Thank you. All best.

[@dfungus6921]

Nobody should be cooking with oil. Olive oil for example becomes a carcegenic when it reaches its smoking point. Canned food is full of excessive salt, which is used to preserve it. This kind of salt is why peoplw have blocked arteries. People should also not be eating bread due to it containing gluten.
