Professor shares 8 foods to lower inflammation and help you age slower | Professor Robert Thomas

If you want to stay healthier for longer, one of the best things you can do is lower chronic inflammation.

The great thing is, food is one of the most powerful tools we have.

So I sat down with Professor Rob Thomas, consultant oncologist at Addenbrooke's and UCLH, Professor of Sports and Nutritional Science, and one of the UK's leading experts in healthy ageing, to talk about what makes the biggest difference.

We cover:

The best foods to lower chronic inflammation
The link between inflammation and ageing
How to reduce your biological age
Why grip strength predicts how well you'll age

There are so many practical takeaways in this one. I hope it inspires you to add a few more anti-inflammatory foods to your plate this week!

One of the most important ways we can impact our health, feel stronger and more energetic everyday and even slow ageing is by lowering inflammation. And the good news is, that what you choose to put on your plate is a powerful lever to reduce it, alongside improving sleep, moving more and stressing less.

So today I'm joined by Professor Robert Thomas, NHS Consultant Oncologist at Addenbrooke's and Bedford Hospitals, and Head of Integrative Oncology at The Royal London Hospital for Integrative Medicine, where he advises lifestyle, complementary and nutritional strategies to improve patient outcomes.

We’re going to discuss the 8 key foods he believes we should be eating everyday to optimise inflammation to help us live longer, healthier lives and protect us from diseases of ageing including cancer and heart disease.
