Highly processed foods are very easy to eat. People also tend to consume them quite fast.

So somebody would consume more calories than usual. They tend to be lower in fibre.

On one side of the coin, you've got this element of UPS that encourages somebody to overeat and

consume more, for example, fat and sugar and calories, which might lead to weight gain.

And then secondly, what is the person not eating?

These UPS are displacing healthier whole foods, for example, high in vitamins, minerals and fibre.

That's Nicola Ludlam Rain.

She is a specialist registered dietitian who wants us to focus on cutting out

ultra-processed foods without cutting out the foods we love. This is the Lizelle Well-Being Show,

the podcast helping us all have a better second half, the title of my latest book, and very much

my mission, finding ways for all of us to thrive in

our later life by investing in our health and our well-being. Today, I'm Liz Earle. Welcome

along. It's really good to have your company alongside so very many world-class experts

who chat to me here, sharing expertise and experience with a conversation about the things that really do work to

help us all age well. Thank you so much again for all your reviews and our five-star ratings.

My team and I here appreciate this so much and always read every week. If you have yet to leave a

review, please do so. We do read them all and we gain a lot of insight for future episodes from these.

Also giving us a star rating, especially if it's five stars, of course,

helps us to reach more people because platforms like Apple,

especially do take notice of this.

So if you are able to hit the star button anytime please do so well last week i chatted to
