Her new book, The Kitchen Prescription, which argues that food is medicine, contains over 100 recipes that are good for the gut. Already, a first generation of weight-loss drugs promises to change our appetites. Although Dimbleby fears problems down the line. “We’ve seen with the Covid vaccine that side-effects for a few people lead to a negative reputation, which means people who really need them don’t take them.” But, compiling my shopping list, there were quite a few ingredients that aren’t available via my usual online shop. Where I live, there is no Waitrose and no speciality Asian shops. So I’m going to have to improvise. You’re getting an insulin spike and you’re not getting the beautiful phytonutrients that you get in food: the vitamins, the minerals and the polyphenolic compounds. All the fantastic things you get when you’re eating a rainbow.” What started in the 1950s with the allure of the American fridge, the drive-thru and the baked Alaska, now threatens to destroy the fabric of our society.Dr Saliha Mahmood-Ahmed is a specialist registrar in hepatology and gastroenterology at the Trust.

The American beige diet that’s making us all sick – and how

During the 45 minute session with Saliha, you will take her through your fridge and she will suggest ways to improve what is in there for optimum gut health. He adds: “The beauty of this system from the perspective of a food producer is that most of us respond to stress and unhappiness by eating more of the food that causes the problem.” The more diversely we eat, the lower our risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, depression, and the more enhanced our immunity. This is a book you'll be reaching for time and again, because these recipes are a joy to eat and fuss free, and you can feel happy in the knowledge you'll be helping your body to stay healthy too.They’re also cheap and convenient. “Refined wheat, sugar and vegetable oil are the cheapest foods,” says Dimbleby. “A lot of these foods are things mixed in different configurations with a little bit of flavour added.” It is incredibly humbling and empowering to be the first doctor to win MasterChef because there are food related ailments that I can relate to in a way that not many other people can. Outside of the Trust, how has your journey as a chef evolved? I'm Saliha's biggest fan. I love cooking her recipes, learning as I go about the intricate power of our glorious guts.

But perhaps the biggest effect is that many of us aren’t really in control of our consumption. “These foods are engineered to get around our bodies’ systems that tell us to stop.” If you’re attempting to make a change in your own eating patterns, Mahmood-Ahmed cautions taking up a restrictive diet, in favour of eating a lot of whole foods. I am working as a specialist registrar in hepatology and gastroenterology, so essentially the liver, the digestive system and the bowels are my specialty. There is a huge amount of variety in the work I am doing. I run clinics alongside our consultants, including outpatient and hot patient clinics, I do endoscopy, ward rounds, and teach medical students. What do you love most about your job? The more diversely we eat, the lower our risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, depression, and the more enhanced our immunity. This is a book you’ll be reaching for time and again, because these recipes are a joy to eat and fuss free, and you can feel happy in the knowledge you’ll be helping your body to stay healthy too. I’m excited to try the recipes in this book having read through the theory part first. It looks as though this is going to be a whole new approach to cooking. The recipes look good and the photos are lush.We’ve embraced the SAD diet in the UK faster than anywhere else in Europe, with the exception of Malta (an island with which the UK has long had a close alliance). Fabulous recipe book - the photographs are stunning and the food theory is so interesting. My copy arrived yesterday so today was Masala Cottage Pie (gorgeous) and I'm already putting together a menu for the rest of the week. A diet of highly refined, high-sugar, high-fat and highly processed foods has proven toxic for humans; highly addictive but one that our bodies have not evolved to process.
