What if some of the simplest ingredients in your kitchen could help support healthier ageing? Nutritionist Karen Newby joins Liz to explore the foods that deliver the greatest longevity benefits – and what to eat to support our cardiovascular, brain and bone health.
They discuss the merits of polyphenol-rich foods, fibre, omega-3s and antioxidants, and why ingredients such as extra virgin olive oil, leafy greens, pulses and berries should play a starring role in a nourishing, pro-ageing diet.
Karen also explains the importance of a healthy gut as we age, and shares simple, budget-friendly ways to add more longevity-supporting foods to everyday meals.
