Tim Spector, 54, is Professor of Genetic Epidemiology at King’s College, London.
"I’ve had to change my diet because I travel so much it is unfeasible to be vegan, but it taught me to look further than the steak and chips on a restaurant menu," said Spector.
There is evidence which shows that the more diverse your diet, the healthier your gut bacteria – which can reduce blood pressure and cholesterol.
Spector confessed, "My grandmother passed down some bad genes – she had diabetes. I’m aware of the hereditary nature of the condition and know that I need to keep an eye on diet and exercise as you can actually switch off these genes."
"I think that you should only take vitamins if you have a confirmed deficiency," Spector suggested. Researchers at King’s College, London have discovered that whole food, not additives or preservatives are essential for optimal health.
