Stop Eating Ultra-Processed Foods If You Want To See Your Grandkids Grow Up | Chuck Samuel | UWF1

Hello everyone, my name is Elliot Sykes. Despite not coming from a wealthy background, my family prioritized health and nutrition. I grew up with vegetables growing in the garden and home-cooked food. Unfortunately, this is a rarity in our fast-paced modern society. But I believe it doesn't have to be. Welcome to the Ultra Whole Foods podcast. ----------------- In Episode 1 of the Ultra Whole Foods Podcast Chuckwudi Samuel talks to us about whole foods, ultra processed foods, blood pressure and food education. In the first half of the podcast, he talks us through the difference in food from his homestead in Lagos, Nigeria, compared with the UK. In particular he noted that "the water was not the same". He then explained that the "healthy" greens in the UK contain significant quantities of Oxolate, and how that put up his blood pressure. But he does know a whole foods remedy using melon skin, marvellous! In the second half of the podcast Chuck explained his philosophy on how to bring about fundamental change to the food system through proper education, as well as leaving the audience with some practical day to day tips on how we can all limit our consumption of ultra processed foods. ----------------- Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 1:53 - What is Ultra-Processed Food? 3:29 - Has Food Been Manipulated?
