Could Eating Less Protein Help Us Age Better? Body Image & Burnout

Could eating less protein actually help us to age better? Where is the line between genuine concern and harmful scrutiny when it comes to someone's body? And why are so many of us feeling burnt out by the pressure to optimise every aspect of our lives? This week, we unpack the growing debate around protein and longevity, explore the complicated conversation surrounding Ariana Grande and body image, and discuss the increasing pressure to constantly improve, optimise and perform. We also look at Gen Z's changing relationship with alcohol, the rise of tea as the new "Dutch courage", and what happens when social media leaves both creators and consumers feeling exhausted. Plus, we discuss the return of "What I Eat in a Day" videos and share our latest television recommendations. Listen to The Global Story: Is it OK to talk about Ariana Grande's body?

Could eating less protein actually help us to age better? Where is the line between genuine concern and harmful scrutiny when it comes to someone's body? And why are so many of us feeling burnt out by the pressure to optimise every aspect of our lives?

This week, we unpack the growing debate around protein and longevity, explore the complicated conversation surrounding Ariana Grande and body image, and discuss the increasing pressure to constantly improve, optimise and perform. We also look at Gen Z's changing relationship with alcohol, the rise of tea as the new "Dutch courage", and what happens when social media leaves both creators and consumers feeling exhausted. Plus, we discuss the return of "What I Eat in a Day" videos and share our latest television recommendations.
