Could eating more broccoli or beans in your twenties help protect your heart decades later? Should children under two avoid screens altogether? And are AI-powered wearables about to transform the way women understand their hormones?
This week, we unpack a major report warning that the UK is raising one of the unhealthiest generations in decades, explore fascinating new research on how different vegetables may benefit men and women differently, and look at two major new studies on children's screen time. Plus, is fibre finally replacing protein, and why a new AI wearable has just raised $11.6 million to predict women's hormone changes.
