Ever wondered what the secret to living a longer, healthier, and happier life might be? In this week's episode of Food for Thought, I chat with the incredibly inspiring Giulia Crouch, a food and health journalist and co-host of a weekly food segment on Times Radio! Giulia reveals the secrets of the world’s Blue Zones—regions where people live longer, healthier lives. Drawing on her rich Sardinian heritage, she shares insights from her bestselling book, The Happiest Diet in the World.
🍝 The Power of Simplicity: Discover why the simplest dishes, like her Nonna’s tomato pasta, can be the most delicious and nutritious. 🍅✨
🌱 Carbohydrates are Healthy: Learn why carbohydrates are a staple in Blue Zone diets, offering affordable, accessible, and sustainable nutrition. 🥔🍕
🥗 Attitude Towards Food: Blue Zones aren’t just about what they eat, but how they eat—with joy, tradition, and no fear around food. 🎉
🍷 Food & Social Connection: In Blue Zones, food is more than just nutrition—it’s a social experience, celebrated with family and friends. Sadly, many in the UK have lost touch with these traditions. ❤
🚫 UPFs vs Real Whole Foods: We explore how ultra-processed foods can’t compete with the satisfaction and health benefits of real, whole foods. 🌿
👩🍳 Cooking & Longevity: Giulia emphasises the importance of cooking from scratch, not just for nutrition, but for overall well-being and longevity. 🍲💪
