In this episode of the Let's Talk Health podcast, we're sitting down for a chat about all things food and diet-related with nutrition and Nuffield Health Senior Health and Wellbeing Physiologist Abbie Green.

The conversation covers everything from plant-based and vegan diets to managing cravings and eating well on a budget. Abbie also talks at length about the potential dangers of intermittent fasting, how eating 5-a-day really works, and why we should never overlook liquid calories and alcohol when assessing how healthy our diet really is.
