BBC Correspondent Finds 30-Plant Weekly Diet Easier Than Expected

A BBC health correspondent tested the '30 plants a week' dietary trend and found it surprisingly manageable, ultimately consuming 51 distinct plant items. The trend, rooted in a 2018 study linking plant diversity to gut microbiome health, is achievable through small changes like adding spices and whole grains. Experts note that the target is flexible, with benefits possible at lower counts, and that existing healthy diets often already meet the threshold.

"Study Finds Link Between Intermittent Fasting and Increased Risk of Heart Disease Mortality"

A new study suggests that following an 8-hour time-restricted eating schedule, a form of intermittent fasting, may be associated with a 91% higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. Contrary to previous beliefs about its health benefits, the study found that this eating pattern did not lead to living longer and was not linked to a lower risk of death from any cause. The research emphasizes the need for a personalized approach to dietary recommendations, especially for individuals with existing heart conditions or cancer, and highlights the importance of aligning dietary choices with an individual's health status and the latest scientific evidence.
