Oldham health: 5 simple food changes to improve health and planet
Ahead of Nutrition and Hydration Week (16-22 March), NHS Greater Manchester's Chief Clinical Officer Dr Manisha Kumar recommends five simple dietary changes to improve health and reduce environmental impact. The advice includes reducing dairy and red meat consumption, eating whole foods and plant-based diets, choosing seasonal local produce, planning weekly meals, and growing your own food. These changes can lower cancer and heart disease risks while reducing carbon emissions from food systems, which account for 30% of global emissions with over half from livestock.
