Most of have heard for years that carbs are the enemy. But what if cutting carbs wasn’t the key to ageing well - and might even work against us?
In this week’s episode of One Health Tweak a Week, we take a fresh look at the carbohydrate question through the lens of a massive new analysis from the legendary Nurses’ Health Study. This isn’t about fad diets or weight loss tricks - it’s about what helps you reach your seventies still sharp, still active, and free of major disease.
You’ll hear:
Why low-carb isn’t always better - and where the data says the sweet spot lies
Which types of carbohydrates are most strongly linked to healthy ageing
The single best label trick for spotting healthy carbs at a glance
Simple food swaps that could shift your risk without overhauling your whole diet
We also bust some long-held myths, explain how fibre and glycaemic index play into it all, and explore why only 7.8% of women in this 30-year study hit the healthy ageing benchmark.
If you’ve ever felt confused about what carbs to eat - or whether you should be eating them at all - this episode clears the fog.
Listen in while you prep dinner, go for a walk, or just need a grounded voice cutting through the health hype.
