On this episode, I invite fellow doctor and friend Dr Ayan Panja, General Practitioner, super generalist, lifestyle medicine enthusiast and co-founder of Lobe Medical back to the podcast to talk about eating and lifestyle for our heart health.Eating for your heart as a concept, is not about food like a pill - but diet is an important consideration for protecting and promoting our heart health and it's why I ultimately believe that nutrition training is vital for all medics to grasp an understanding of, as well as the general public.Listen up because it's not just people in their 50's and 60's that need to be listening to this episode - it's actually relevant for all generations - because looking after your heart is a life long process.In this episode we talked about the following:Defined narrow inflamed arteriesWhy inflammation is important and what balances inflammationWhy a mediterranean focused diet is importantHow changing areas of your lifestyle such as sleep, stress and movement - can benefit your heart healthMinimising excess sugar and refined, processed foods in the dietOrnish lifestyle programme I really hope you enjoyed listening to the podcast - remember to subscribe on your favourite podcast player so you don't miss any future episodes.
