Prof Tim Spector: Six easy ways to reset your gut health this spring

Swapping your breakfast cereal for a bowl of full-fat yogurt and berries is an easy way to boost your fibre intake

If you’re one of the four in 10 people in the UK having cereal or toast for breakfast, it’s probably bringing down the quality of your diet. Virtually no breakfast cereal or supermarket bread is good for you. Even if you choose muesli and granola, there are very few types that are actually healthy, despite the tempting labels.

Spring is a good time to rethink your breakfast, your diet and, now the weather is starting to get warmer, make more time for exercise. At the start of the year, we generally don’t go out much and we’re a bit more miserable. We look for ways to reward ourselves, often by eating and drinking more than usual. Now is a chance to think about our diet differently – not so much for comfort, perhaps more for energy and health.

So this week, I’m bringing you a three-part spring reset: things I know that work for me that I hope will work for you too.

One way I do this is by having a bowl of full-fat yogurt, kefir, mixed berries and my Zoe Daily 30 mix (a supplement containing seeds, nuts, legumes, herbs, spices and mushrooms) for breakfast most days during the week. I have some variant of a shakshuka with eggs at the weekend for brunch. Both options are full of fibre, variety and protein to keep me energised through the morning, support my gut health and fill me up.

Here are my other five ideas for diet tweaks this season that should leave you feeling brighter with more energy.

Questions are mounting about Qatar’s plans for its mountain of cash locked up in Britain – and the potential fallout for the UK economy

War has sent Qatar reeling. It spells danger for Britain

Iran’s missile attack on Qatar’s Ras Laffan gas plant also hit the global gas market and incinerated Qatar’s own economic prospects. As Hans van Leeuwen explains, the Gulf monarchy is scrambling to rescue its economy. The country’s £40bn British investments, from hotels to major retailers, could soon feel the impact.

The Milehams’ five-bedroom home gives them plenty of room for their interests, four dogs and to accommodate their grandson

The retirees refusing to downsize and living it larger

Robert Mileham and his wife, Pauline, wanted to expand their horizons in retirement, rather than “sitting around doing less, waiting to die”. Defying convention, the couple swapped their home in Surrey for a five-bed property near the Norfolk coast. In the process, they found space for Pauline’s arts and crafts and Robert’s model soldier collection.

Richard Keys and his wife, Lucie, address some myths about their marriage

Richard Keys interview: I didn’t leave my wife for Lucie when she had cancer

A message arrived that Richard Keys wanted to meet. Contrary to expectations, his idea was not to discuss his return home to the UK from Qatar, but to talk in unsparing detail about his personal life. Even as he prepares to step away from the TV screens, he clearly has no intention of slipping quietly into the shadows, writes Oliver Brown.

One great life

Daphne Selfe, the world’s oldest model, whose career took off when she was rediscovered at 70

Daphne Self

When she was in her mid-80s, Daphne Selfe, who has died aged 97, earned a place in The Guinness Book of Records as the world’s oldest professional model, writes Andrew M Brown, Obituaries Editor.

She had first been scouted as a model in 1949, but as her life unfolded she devoted herself to bringing up her family, while doing some TV commercials and modelling clothes in department stores.

It was in 1998, at the age of 70, that Daphne Selfe was rediscovered and experienced global success. Vogue hired her as part of a feature on ageing, and she was soon doing catwalk shows for DKNY, Dolce & Gabbana and others, and being photographed by the leading fashion snappers.

There were assignments across the world for Olay, Evian and Nivea and by 2010, aged 82, she was judged “Britain’s oldest working model”. It was not a phrase she liked, since it made her sound like a Heath Robinson contraption. In 2015 she was given an entry in The Guinness Book of World Records.

Daphne Selfe, who was still working into her tenth decade, put her fine complexion down to a diet of vegetables and water – with the occasional slice of cake and glass of champagne. For skincare, she swore by Nivea.
