# 488 - Busting 9 common weight loss myths

There are so many weightloss myths out there that it is so easy to become distracted and disillusioned. In this episode, I draw on the advice of many of the scientists and doctors I have interviewed on this channel about nutrition, metabolism and weightloss, and I detail 9 commonly held misconceptions about weightloss which is hampering peoples' weight loss goals .For example, I examine if skipping breakfast really helps you lose weight and I analyse if consuming fat can actually help you lose weight. Throughout this video I use science and research to flesh out each argument.You'll find all the references to the research papers I mention below :Westerterp, K. R.

# 487 - The benefits of hydration and how to drink more water

The human body is made of of mostly water and so its logical that we need to consume water to function and to thrive. Water helps us digest food, it helps our organs like our kidneys to function, it improves the quality and look of our skin. When we dont get enough water we ca suffer frok tiredness, feeling foggy headed and constipated. BUT the problem is, water generally tastes bland, and as a result people look to fizzy drinks, and drinks like coffee which come with their own downsides. In this video I talk about some ways to make drinking more water super easy, so we can reap the benefits.

# 486 - STOP eating this for breakfast

On this podcast I have spoken to many of the worlds leading scientists, and nutritionists who have explained in detail how food is at the heart of the epidemic of metabolic disease across the world. From my own experience and observing others, its clear many of us are tired all the time. While sleep and exercise are certainly huge factors in our energy levels, the importance of food cant be ignored. And if you're someone who is struggling for energy and reaching for the coffee before lunchtime the this episode is for you (in the absence of illness). Today I speak about how the food you eat for breakfast impacts your energy levels throughout the day. If you get it wrong you'll be struggling to function, but if you get it right you''ll be powering through your day. I talk about how the body processes food and how this will impact blood sugar and energy levels. I highlight the wrong foods people eat for breakfast plus I give some suggestions as to the kinds of food that you should be eating at the start of the day.

# 479 - Are you eating your way to dementia ?

50 million people suffer with dementia today, that figure will triple in the coming 20 years. While genetics does play a role, lifestyle and behaviours such as the foods we eat are a siginificant contributor to whether we become a dementa patient or not. I examine the role food plays in our potential to acquire dementia. Plus I look at the foods that accelerate the likelihood of us suffering cognitive decline, and contrast these against brain boosting foods. I also show the association between insulin resistance and the most common form of dementia, alzheimers disease.
