We have all seen that during the COVID-19 pandemic it is those of us that have a poor diet haven‚’t done as well, in terms of health outcomes, compared to those who eat a ‚’traditional‚’ (pre 1970‚’s) unprocessed diet. This has resulted in pressure being put on the NHS, the government have been forced to shut down the economy to reduce the pressure in hospitals. That‚’s a double whammy! If we were all healthier due to what we ate, less people would be so seriously ill and going into hospital, we could then have kept the economy open and the government would have borrowed less money to support a lockdown.
I believe we have a great opportunity as we move out of the pandemic and leave the EU, to support the nation to evolve and change our diet to a more natural one, which our bodies are really designed for.
