Ultra processed foods are making us ill. Author and healthy chef Melissa Hemsley is on a mission to make healthy cooking from scratch easy and enjoyable for all of us.

In the UK we have the record for consuming the highest amount of ultra processed foods (UPF’s) in Europe. In fact in the UK, on average, 56% of our diets are UPF heavy. For the under 14 age bracket that rises to 67%.

Packed with chemicals our bodies don’t recognise, there is now concrete and rapidly growing evidence that ultra processed foods are making us very sick indeed. A recent review in the British Medical Journal showed that diets high in UPF’s are directly associated with poor mental, respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and metabolic health.

In this podcast I’m chatting to the brilliant chef and author Melissa Hemsley whose new cookbook Real Healthy tackles the timely message of how to un-process our diets. 

Her wonderful book is crammed with advice and tips and hundreds of recipes for making healthy, delicious foods easily, whilst we also tackle the topic of the major changes we ALL need to make in the way we eat today.
