You can swap out chicken for one item to help reduce health risks and multiple cancers, Tim Spector says.
Tim Spector is urging people to include one item in their diet to reduce the "risk of diabetes, stroke, heart disease and multiple cancers".
The health expert said that many of us are "deficient" in fibre and that choosing tofu or tempeh could be more beneficial as not only do they contain protein, like chicken, but they also contain fibre which chicken doesn't. Talking about the tempeh, he stresses: "When you're picking your foods, don't just think about one narrow thing like protein. Think of all the other things it can bring. Fibre is particularly something we're all deficient in and your gut microbes will love you for it."
"This is thought to be a driver of human gut microbiome depletion and an associated increase in disease. Studies have linked eating more fibre with a reduction in your risk of diabetes, stroke, heart disease and multiple cancers".
