Welcome!
Whether it's "I'm on Ozempic" or "Are they on Ozempic?" in response to someone suddenly looking amazing, the whos, whats and whys of the so-called "skinny jabs" have taken over our lives – even if we're not on them ourselves. Here, Amira Aratesh explains how those taking the plunge are making her think differently about her own body – and the ways she's weighing up whether she should try the jabs too. It's complicated.
Gut health has become something of a golden goose in wellness circles as well. With the world turning to prebiotics and probiotics to soothe stomach aches (and many other ailments), fermented goods such as kimchi, kefir and kombucha are now the order of the day. Few know more about this topic than Dr Johnny Drain – the man many Michelin-starred restaurants have on speed dial for all their fermentation needs. He has quite literally written the book on the subject: Adventures in Fermentation, which came out this week. Here, Harry Bullmore speaks to him about his own golden rule for gut health – something we should all be doing.
One thing known to be vital for digestion and a healthy gut is fibre. Official NHS guidance advises that adults should consume at least 30g of the nutrient every day, but data released last week by the Government's Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) showed a staggering 96 per cent of adults are not meeting this requirement. These findings come at a time when rates of bowel cancer are rising – particularly among people in their twenties, thirties and forties. A coincidence? Maybe not, as research also shows that more than a quarter (28 per cent) of all bowel cancer cases in the UK could be caused by eating too little fibre. In this piece, Hannah Twiggs dives into the exact amounts we need – and how we can quickly and easily get more fibre into our diets (recipes included).
