Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall On How To Eat 30 Plants A Week

5x15

5x15 is delighted to announce a special event in June with beloved chef, writer and broadcaster Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. Hugh will be speaking with cross-bench peer and 5x15 co-founder Rosie Boycott about food, health, and his new book How to Eat 30 Plants a Week. Leading nutritionists have confirmed that when it comes to eating plants, diversity is the key, and 30 is the magic number. As we add more plants to our diet, measurable health benefits accrue, thanks to their amazing micronutrients and differing fibres, and once we get to 30 per week the effects start to plateau. So hitting the magic 30 week after week will do wonders for your gut microbiome and in turn help reduce the risk of common diseases, from obesity and diabetes to heart disease, dementia, depression, auto-immune diseases and allergies. 30 plants may sound a lot, but in Hugh’s expert hands it feels like an easy win. How to Eat 30 Plants a Week is bursting with recipes that are dependably delicious, packed with plants and great for your overall health. Praise for How to Eat 30 Plants a Week "I love the way Hugh inspires us to eat more of the good stuff, and he’s done it again brilliantly here.
