Dr Megan Rossi, known as The Gut Health Doctor, shared her 'rule of two' to help people potentially cut their risk of inflammatory bowel disease and type 2 diabetes
A renowned nutritional expert has issued a warning over the impact poor diet can have on our health. Dr Megan Rossi, known as The Gut Health Doctor, shared her concerns on ultra-processed foods and the impact they could be having on the nation's health.
"We can’t escape UPF; this is an ongoing hot topic, and for good reason," she said. "Did you know that UPF currently makes up over two-thirds of the average UK teenager’s daily calories, nearly half of a UK toddler’s daily intake, and about 50 per cent of total energy intake across the UK. The NHS explains that a processed food is any food or drink that has been changed in some way when it’s made or prepared. Ultra-processed foods often include ingredients you would not usually have at home, such as preservatives, sweeteners and emulsifiers.
"If a food contains more than two ingredients that you’re unlikely to add if you were to make that food at home e.g. sugar and palm oil in your bread, or there are more than two things in the ingredients list that you don’t recognise, then it could be worth checking for another brand, or making your own.
