    Snacksize 2: Foods for Arthritis

    enJanuary 19, 2024
    What role does food play in arthritis management?
    Which anti-inflammatory foods were mentioned in the text?
    How can polyphenol-rich foods benefit arthritis sufferers?
    What are some challenges faced by people with arthritis?
    Which dietary practices can improve overall health for arthritis patients?

    • Discover Foods to Alleviate Arthritis PainOlive oil, ginger, polyphenol-rich foods, turmeric, and an anti-inflammatory diet can help manage arthritis symptoms and provide relief from chronic pain.

      Food can play a role in managing the pain and inflammation associated with arthritis. In a Doctor's Kitchen podcast snippet, the doctor discusses using ingredients like olive oil, ginger, polyphenol-rich foods, turmeric, and an anti-inflammatory diet to help alleviate arthritis symptoms. Arthritis is a common condition seen by GPs and includes various types, such as osteoarthritis, which is a degenerative condition, and autoimmune or reactive arthritis. Food may offer relief for those suffering from chronic pain caused by arthritis. For a more in-depth discussion, listen to the full episode on The Doctor's Kitchen website. Additionally, 1800flowers.com offers gifts for life's special occasions, and Burroughs Furniture provides modular seating made of durable materials with easy assembly and fast free shipping.

    • Managing Mental Health with Diet for Arthritis SufferersAvoid fried foods, high omega-6 foods, and excessive meat. Incorporate colorful foods rich in polyphenols, such as turmeric, green tea, and olive oil, for potential physical and mental health benefits.

      People with arthritis face challenges beyond just physical pain and limitations. Mental health issues like depression and anxiety are also common due to the inflammation caused by the disease. To help manage these symptoms, the dietary inflammatory index can be a useful guide. Foods to avoid include fried items made with refined vegetable oils, high omega-6 foods found in refined grains, and excessive meat consumption. Instead, focus on incorporating colorful foods rich in polyphenols, such as red, green, and yellow produce, herbs, and spices. Specific anti-inflammatory foods include turmeric with curcuminoids, green tea with ECGC, and extra virgin olive oil with hydroxytyrosol. These foods can help reduce oxidative stress and lower inflammation, potentially improving both physical and mental health for those with arthritis.

    • Boosting Flavor and Health with Olive Oil, Herbs, and SpicesIncorporating olive oil, herbs like rosemary, sage, parsley, and spices like ginger into your diet enhances food flavor and offers potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties and cancer risk reduction.

      Incorporating high-quality, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil into your diet, along with simple herbs and spices like rosemary, sage, parsley, and ginger, can significantly enhance the flavor of your food while providing potential health benefits. These herbs and spices contain anti-inflammatory phytochemicals like Carnosol, gingerol, and phytonutrients like Genistein and Dadezen found in soy. Soy, despite containing phytoestrogens, has been shown to have beneficial effects on reduced cancer risk and menopause issues. Additionally, focusing on gut health, fiber intake, and increasing the color and variety of herbs and spices in your diet, following a Mediterranean-style eating plan, can lead to overall health improvements.

    • Identifying trigger foods for arthritisExplore personal trigger foods through a food diary and consult healthcare professionals, while considering supplements like omega 3 and vitamin D3 for everyone, especially in the UK.

      Identifying trigger foods for arthritis requires individual exploration through maintaining a food diary and consulting with healthcare professionals. Trigger foods can vary greatly from person to person, and may include nightshades, nuts, or seeds. Omega 3 supplements, specifically EPA and DHA, and vitamin D3 are recommended for everyone, especially in the UK due to limited sun exposure during winter months. Remember, everyone's experience with arthritis and trigger foods is unique, so it's essential to work with healthcare professionals to determine the best approach for your personal situation. Additionally, for Mother's Day, consider showing appreciation to the special moms in your life with thoughtful gifts from 1-800-Flowers or Whole Foods Market.

    #265 The plant that reduces skin inflammation, fights disease and is even a great protein source with Dr Kyle Stewart

    In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Kyle Stewart, NHS GP, Clinical Entrepreneur Fellow, and co-founder of Prof & Doc, to explore the surprising health benefits of watercress.


    We’re going to dive into how watercress could be a game-changer for skin health, helping with conditions like nappy rash, eczema, and more. Dr. Stewart shares insights from his pioneering work in phytochemical manipulation over the last 8 years and developing innovative skincare solutions that he’s now brought to market at www.profanddoc.com.


    We also talk more broadly about how the application of research looking at ingredients from the brassica family are just waiting to be explored. You’ll also learn about some of the other vegetables and plants that Kyle would explore if he wasn’t so obsessed with Watercress!


    As a former NHS GP myself, I’m so impressed at how Kyle’s been able to navigate the world of entrepreneurship whilst maintaining a practice. I see really impressive things with his work and it hopefully paves the way for more research in the phytochemical world.

    From Physics to Food. How a passion for flavour led Chet Sharma through michelin starred gastronomy to his dream position to chef patron

    From Physics to Food. How a passion for flavour led Chet Sharma through michelin starred gastronomy to his dream position to chef patron

    Chet Sharma’s culinary intrigue, coupled with his academic and scientific interests, have made for an impressive and expansive career in hospitality.


    During his university studies, which ultimately led to a PhD in physics from the University of Oxford, he worked part time at a number of London’s leading Michelin-starred restaurants, including Benares and Locanda Locatelli. After discovering a passion for hospitality, he went on to work at two Michelin-starred Mugaritz, Simon Rogan’s Umbel Restaurant Group, two-starred Mark Birchall’s Moor Hall, and the late, also two-starred, The Ledbury.


    In 2017, Chet moved to become Group Development Chef at JKS Restaurants – with whom he eventually opened BiBi in September 2021. A progressive restaurant serving dishes inspired by ingredients and memories from the Indian subcontinent. BiBi draws on the years Chet has spent cooking and sourcing ingredients for some of the most esteemed Michelin-starred restaurants in the world, whilst also embracing the full multicultural span of Indian cuisine. BiBi was GQ Restaurant of the Year 2022.


    Today we talk about:

    • Chet’s transition from a science background into food
    • Small scale farmers in the UK and India to champion forgotten ingredients
    • His ongoing research with the British Library into pre-colonial Indian food
    • We also talk about the stress of the job and how, to this day, Chet lives with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, a reactivation of Varicella Zoster Virus that affects his facial nerve brought on by stress during the pandemic.

    #264 How understanding your genetics could improve your health with Dr Stuart J. Grice MRes DPhil

    #264 How understanding your genetics could improve your health with Dr Stuart J. Grice MRes DPhil

    Today we're diving into the fascinating world of genomics and personalised nutrition. We're joined by Dr. Stuart J. Grice, a distinguished biologist and former academic at the University of Oxford, whose groundbreaking research has explored the biological mechanisms behind neuromuscular disease, neurodegeneration, and neuropsychiatric disorders. 


    Together, we'll explore the big question: How can understanding your genetics shape your long-term health? We'll discuss the usefulness of genetic testing when it comes to nutrition and health, and how it fits alongside other testing technologies like blood tests, gut microbiome analysis, and continuous glucose monitoring. Dr. Grice will introduce the concept of having a personalised profile that helps predict your future health trajectory based on current data.


    We discuss the differences between genes that are deterministic, probabilistic and informative and whether we can predict what might happen to us in the future, even if we’re healthy now? We’ll also cover the importance of balancing different aspects of our biology to live a healthy, fulfilling life.


    After completing his doctorate at Oxford, Stuart co-founded FitnessGenes where he currently holds the position of Chief Scientific Officer (CSO). The company is 11 years old and has received numerous awards for its innovative work in preventative healthcare. Moreover, FitnessGenes is the first company in the world to secure a patent that identifies how better health predictions can be made by combining genetic and lifestyle data.

    #262 Strategies to lose weight, maintain weight loss and live healthier

    #262 Strategies to lose weight, maintain weight loss and live healthier

    On today’s episode I’m diving into the science of weight loss. This episode is all about how to lose weight in a healthy way, maintain that weight loss and live a healthier life.


    We haven’t discussed weight loss in detail on the podcast before, but enough people have asked me about it so I thought we could dive into some common questions and misconceptions about weight loss. I’ll dive into:


    • The science of weight loss
    • Whether there are diets that are best for weight loss?
    • Are there foods that aid weight loss?
    • Are there foods that burn fat?
    • Can you target weight loss in specific areas of the body?
    • Can you target “belly fat” with specific foods or exercises?


    I’ll discuss calorie restriction, popular weight loss diets (keto, low carb), fasting, the microbiome, plus the lifestyle factors that lead to weight gain. I’ll also discuss obesogens, the effects of stress and poor sleep on weight gain as well as evidence based supplements that can help you lose weight.

    How to reduce alcohol consumption and improve our relationship with drinking with mixologist and mindful drinking expert Camille Vidal

    How to reduce alcohol consumption and improve our relationship with drinking with mixologist and mindful drinking expert Camille Vidal

    On today’s episode I have a good friend of mine, Camille Vidal, creator of Mindful Cocktails and founder of La Maison Wellness, to talk to me about reducing alcohol consumption and improving our relationship with drinking.


    Camille Vidal is a globally recognised bartender and drinks expert turned mindfulness, Yoga and Meditation teacher. 


    And she’s a true pioneer in this field. Camille (aka @mindfullycami), is on a mission to inspire the world to bring mindfulness into the glass, showing that Tasty doesn’t have to be Boozy.


    For some people, abstinence is absolutely necessary and the number of sobriety tools and programmes are increasing. But for many of us, myself included, we still want to enjoy the very occasional alcoholic drink whilst being mindful of the ill effects.


    As somebody who is consciously trying to reduce my own alcohol intake I loved chatting through the statistics regarding how many other people are trying to cut down rather than abstain completely from alcohol. I’m somebody who  appreciates a chilled rose or a glass of fine red with a meal, and I’m excited to explore a new world of no and low alcohol drinks that put my health first whilst still being able to enjoy a refined and sophisticated pairing with food.


    We talk about:

    • The difference between Sobriety and Mindful drinking
    • The Diuretic effects of alcohol
    • Strategies to reduce alcohol such as, Remove replace reduce and Bookending

    #261 Early warning signs of Dementia, plus neuroprotective foods and lifestyle measures to prevent dementia with Dr Rupy Aujla

    #261 Early warning signs of Dementia, plus neuroprotective foods and lifestyle measures to prevent dementia with Dr Rupy Aujla

    Today we’re going to be reviewing early signs to detect dementia as well as food and lifestyle that can potentially prevent dementia.


    The estimated total societal cost of dementia in 2019 in the US was $1313 billion and with the number of people suffering dementia set to increase by 300% globally over the next 20 years, this is something we need to address as early as possible.


    We have many examples of “successful cognitive agers” who have lived vibrant lives well into their 80s and 90s – and there is a clear influence with lifestyle habits.


    The key questions we’re going to review are …

    • What are some of the early warning signs of dementia and Alzheimer's?
    • What are some of the foods I should avoid to help prevent dementia & brain decline?
    • What are some of your favourite brain-boosting foods I should add to my diet every week?
    • What are some of the common lifestyle habits that can improve my brain?
    • Are there supplements you recommend taking to help boost brain health & prevent decline?


    I’ll also talk through a day in the life of a successful brain healthy day utilising all of these habits we’ve discussed at the end of the podcast

    #259 Why you should drink 2-3 cups of coffee everyday with Alex Higham

    #259 Why you should drink 2-3 cups of coffee everyday with Alex Higham

    Today we’re diving deep into the wonderful world of coffee with my good friend Alex Higham. 


    In this episode we talk about the attributes of coffee and why it seems to have benefits for brain and heart health. We also talk through the healthiest brewing methods for coffee from espresso, to aeropress, to cafetiere and Alex’s experiments looking at the caffeine content of different brewing styles.


    We talk about how sourcing and roasting methods can affect the polyphenol concentration of the coffee beans and hence the health benefits and how you can choose the best tasting coffee with these in mind. I also ask Alex the questions that I get asked all the time such as how often should I change the beans, when should I drink coffee and what if I can’t tolerate caffeine?


    Alex is co-founder of Exhale Healthy Coffee, the UK’s first coffee crafted for health. After 8 years grappling with auto-immunity, Alex is now on a mission to help others regain control of their health starting with the thing most people consume vast quantities of, their coffee.


    As a disclaimer, I must mention that I am an advisor to Exhale coffee the company, and I sincerely love everything that Exhale is about. From rigorous sourcing and independently lab testing their beans to ensure no contaminants, it’s how food products should be made, and it’s a privilege to be part of their incredible journey.

    Mixed Heritage and its Impact on Identity, Happiness and Self Worth. Both Not Half with Jassa Ahluwalia

    Mixed Heritage and its Impact on Identity, Happiness and Self Worth. Both Not Half with Jassa Ahluwalia

    This podcast is a deeply personal one for me. Not just because I resonate so much with Jassa and his experience of not having a true sense of identity, but because I’m expecting a child with my wife late this year who will be of mixed heritage. 


    My wife is Italian and I’m Indian so our child will be both Indian and Italian, rather than half Indian and half Italian. I never really thought of being half something and half something else as ever really something to pay attention to, but recording this podcast with Jassa and reading his story has made a real impact on me.


    In the same way John Agard educated us all with his wildly popular poem “half caste”, about the impact of words on people's sense of worth, I feel Jassa has educated me on the use of my words and thoughts, regardless of whether there is ill intent or malice behind them. Words mean so much and I’d never want anyone, let alone my unborn child, to feel anything other than a whole person.


    Jassa Ahluwalia is a British actor, writer, filmmaker and trade unionist. Born in Coventry to a white English mum and a brown Punjabi dad in 1990, he attended school in Leicester and was raised in an extended family environment. He spoke English in the playground, Punjabi with his grandparents, and spent various summer holidays in India. He came to prominence as Rocky in the hit BBC Three series Some Girls, followed by starring roles in Unforgotten, Ripper Street, and Peaky Blinders. He’s also one of the funniest comedians I’ve ever come across on social media. Please watch some of his sketches online!


    Jassa created the hashtag #BothNotHalf to explore mixed identity in light of his own British-Indian heritage. His TEDx talk on 'How Language Shapes Identity' has clocked up over 170k views and his BBC One documentary Am I English? won an Asian Media Award in 2022.
