I am happy to announce the P for Peckish nutritional advisor, Glen Matten MSc.
Glen Matten holds a Masters Degree in Nutritional Medicine from the University of Surrey and has run successful clinics across the UK for over a decade. Glen is an award-winning author of two books, The 100 Foods You Should Be Eating (an ode to his predilection for good food) and The Health Delusion (a commitment to bringing rock-solid health advice to the general public).
Glen feels research into the health of vegetarians is actually very favourable,
and if well planned, a vegetarian diet can be extremely healthy. Indeed,
plant-based foods are linked with very good health outcomes: fruit and
vegetables (multiple health benefits), nuts (strongly linked with a lower
risk of heart disease), wholegrain cereals (protective against heart
disease, diabetes, obesity, and some cancers), and legumes (protective
against heart disease, diabetes and obesity). Diets rich in these foods are
incredibly healthy.
We will consult him regularly to keep us on track health wise.
