10:17 am
>> it does actually. so, um, lord wilberforce , who is the lord wilberforce, who is the person that we give all the credit to for getting rid of the slave trade? and you know, worked so hard. that's what the british should be known for working hard to abolish the slave trade . um, his sideman was slave trade. um, his sideman was lord buxton , who was related to lord buxton, who was related to my husband and their portraits up the gallery . and up at the portrait gallery. and he is a descendant of my husband is. >> i never knew that buxton. >> i never knew that buxton. >> so, you know. and i really love penny's doing . you love what penny's doing. you know, reality is, is there know, the reality is, is there are 50 million people are still 50 million people being today in the . world being slaves today in the. world and so let's stop with the apologising and get on with stopping those people from being slaves. let's stop. what's going on now . and britain is not like on now. and britain is not like america, you know, we have a very multicultural, diverse there is you know, i don't i just don't i have too many black friends and i live in this world. and the racism in britain is britain is the best place to be. it really is the best place to be. so stop getting our children to feel that they've got inherent guilt and all of
10:18 am
this rubbish move on. and this rubbish and move on. and let's proud of what we did to let's be proud of what we did to aboush let's be proud of what we did to abolish . abolish slavery. >> well, that's what penny's talking about, because when we talking about, because when we talk it seems talk about slavery, it seems like much of a sensitive like too much of a sensitive topic brits discuss where topic for brits to discuss where americans, they want to protest, they want to have it out there where british people, we have that of thing. we know it's that kind of thing. we know it's there, but we don't to there, but we don't want to address and i feel like it's address it. and i feel like it's time get the time to get rid of the controversy. let's all controversy. like, let's all educate ourselves, even black educate ourselves, even as black people. for black people. i think for black people, like for me, i didn't really know that britain was heavily ending the heavily involved in ending the slave trade. all i learnt about in school was martin luther king nelson mandela, and there needs to be a more well rounded topic for . for any colour. >> many british sailors lost their yeah fighting to their lives. yeah fighting to end yeah you know, so end slavery. yeah you know, so there should be a monument, but obviously we can't forget that a lot people been lot of people that have been through people'sfamilies through it, people's families that have been through it, the trauma stays forever. >> what you the slavery? >> yeah, course, but the >> yeah, of course, but the trauma is i do think that trauma of is i do think that maybe in britain i in we don't
10:19 am
have you have no one living who was a slave. you know, the slave trades are still going on then. but if you, you know, i just i think we, we've got to start to be more positive, more proactive and the victim kind of culture that we're trying to instil in people is it takes you nowhere. it has no positives . i do agree it has no positives. i do agree with that. >> but at the same time i do realise i personally don't like to say i'm victim of being a to say i'm a victim of being a slave or whatever. but then i do meet other black people who very much still hold that trauma. and then i will never kind of dismiss them in that sense. i say it's valid because as each of their own, some people do feel happened their feel like it happened to their family do carry it from family and they do carry it from generation generation. black generation to generation. black people paying the people are still paying for the ramifications of slavery today, so we can't ignore that. in that sense, when people say it. but i do believe the conversation needs from victimhood to needs to move from victimhood to how we can move on as a society. >> tanya, i get i get your point as well. but what i'm saying is that people that have gone
10:20 am
through people that have through war, people that have gone through cultural things that have happened in our cultures, you know, generations back by that. so of back are hurt by that. so of course, filter course, it's it does filter through . and we've got to through. and we've got to remember that of as well remember that side of it as well . think we have to . but i also think we have to look at the positives of what's happening now. look at the positives of what's hapyeah.g now. look at the positives of what's hapyeah. okay. >> yeah. okay. >> yeah. okay. >> so much. all three >> thank you. so much. all three of really to see you of you. really good to see you this and we'll be this morning and we'll be catching in catching up with you later on in the show . now with january catching up with you later on in the show. now with january in full , do you know how much full swing, do you know how much vitamin d you need to get through the darker months? well we're talking a we're going to be talking to a doctor to the bottom of that. >> but next we're talking >> but up next we're talking about christmas about 12th night and christmas decorations . so will you decorations. so will you be abiding to the rules and taking them or not? i haven't ah .

10:38 am
2nd. is that 2nd. the superstition is that leaving beyond leaving them up beyond these dates taking down dates or taking them down earlier, brings bad luck. well, who knows? who knows ? who knows? who knows? >> i mean, what if. what if the 2nd of february comes and you've had to work and you forgot? >> for me, that's a little bit late. i feel like, yeah, february might little bit late. i feel like, yeah, feb late. might little bit late. i feel like, yeah, feb late. but ht little bit late. i feel like, yeah, feb late. but do little bit late. i feel like, yeah, feb late. but do let little bit late. i feel like, yeah, feb late. but do let li1knowt too late. but do let us know what you make of that. it is 12th or yesterday was 12th 12th night or yesterday was 12th night. the night. you should have taken the down now, is. down by now, that is. >> it's couple of days >> no, it's a couple of days between friends. >> mhm. let us know what >> mhm, mhm. let us know what you think. now isjanuary. you think. now it is january. we're talking about new year new us.the we're talking about new year new us. the excitement from pre—christmas and that feeling that year has faded. well that the year has faded. well we're with january aren't we. >> january is renowned for being the most depressing month of the year. the most depressing month of the year . it's the most depressing month of the year. it's probably the most depressing month of the year . it's probably because it year. it's probably because it goes for about 254 days, and the lack sunshine and lack of sunshine and vitamin d in uk doesn't help, yes, but in the uk doesn't help, yes, but it turns out over a third of brits are actually in the dark about vitamin d and how it's not just january when we should be taking those sun elements. joining us now is jp from the
10:39 am
health and food supplements information service. doctor nisha aslam . nisha aslam. >> how are you? very good to see you this morning. so as brits, are we actually deficient in vitamin d? should we be doing something to get more in our system? >> so absolutely. so our new report that we've published on the ipsis website reveals that yes, we are deficient as a nation. and as you said, peter, it's because we rely on sunlight to make vitamin d in our skin and we don't get much sunlight in the uk, particularly in the winter months. so that's a big barrier to forming vitamin d. um, you can get vitamin d from certain foods , so oily fish , um, certain foods, so oily fish, um, eggs. but as a nation , again, we eggs. but as a nation, again, we don't love eating oily fish. so again, that's a barrier to getting enough vitamin d. so as brits, we are prone to a deficiency , particularly in the deficiency, particularly in the winter months. >> and what about the talk constantly about you have to wear sun cream all the time and, you know, put factor 50 on your face if you're going outside. does that stop some of the vitamin d coming in? i know that
10:40 am
you know sun creams work, but is there a period of time , a few there a period of time, a few minutes that you shouldn't have anything on to get the vitamin d? does it deter ? d? does it deter? >> so the research is >> so i think the research is quite mixed actually. so some papers suggest that actually it makes no difference. and then other research suggests that actually sunscreen does block vitamin d production in the skin . personally, i think sunblock does prevent the production of vitamin d in the skin , but i vitamin d in the skin, but i think spf is really important and i always advise people to wear it every day because you want to minimise the risk of premature ageing. skin cancer. so you must wear your spf every single day . single day. >> so if you are somebody that say can't afford certain foods that that are rich in this, supplements is there, you know, some can't afford supplements , some can't afford supplements, what would you recommend for somebody that doesn't really know what to do? and it's winter time and they're not eating the right foods they're not at, right foods and they're not at, you know, full vitamin d. what do you recommend? >> to have , um, foods
10:41 am
>> so try to have, um, foods that rich vitamin d. so that are rich in vitamin d. so that's oily fish. that's things like oily fish. and the government does recommend that we have two portions , but not portions a week, but not everyone the taste of everyone enjoys the taste of oily fish. >> what oily like mackerel. >> so like mackerel, salmon . oh >> so like mackerel, salmon. oh i love salmon. >> that would right. so >> that would be all right. so you as well? we'll you like salmon as well? we'll be so salmon's okay be fine. yeah. so salmon's okay but then mackerel know but then mackerel i don't know i don't taste of it. >> um, so then it comes back to taking a multi—vitamin, a multimineral vitamin multimineral and a and vitamin d, depends on the dose of d, so it depends on the dose of vitamin that have in the vitamin d that you have in the multi—vitamin. it's ten multi—vitamin. so if it's ten micrograms, which that's the official guidance in the uk then you're fine. otherwise you should take a separate vitamin d supplement . supplement. >> um what about prawns? the prawns count as an oily fish . prawns count as an oily fish. >> i love prawns too. i don't, i don't think they do sufficient vitamins. no. so it's really things salmon, mackerel . we things like salmon, mackerel. we need that effort. need to be making that effort. >> . >> okay. >> okay. what >> okay. what about. >> okay. what about. sorry i have the school have to ask this. the old school generation, . dad's generation, mum and dad. dad's watching again from australia. hi, you know, they hi, dad. so, you know, they don't always . they're not keen don't always. they're not keen on supplements like on supplements and things like that. >> and they wouldn't have taken
10:42 am
them, would they. >> and they're like, well, you know, how you to a know, how are you going to get a vitamin in this hard capsule. how do we sort of break that stigma as well? >> looking at the >> i think maybe looking at the numbers know that a third numbers so we know that a third of are deficient in of brits are deficient in vitamin have seriously vitamin d. so we have seriously low levels. think perhaps low levels. and i think perhaps thinking about the health risks. so you have low vitamin so if you have low vitamin d levels, you know, gp, i see levels, you know, as a gp, i see people with lots of people coming in with lots of symptoms, symptoms. so symptoms, vague symptoms. so fatigue and low energy levels loss of hair, low mood, so i think convincing people that if you want to feel good within yourself, taking yourself, then taking a supplement is the way forward. and also minimising risk of and also minimising the risk of serious conditions . so serious health conditions. so with , you with severe deficiencies, you can end up with bone conditions , can end up with bone conditions, right. that increases the right. and that increases the risk things like fractures. risk of things like fractures. so think we think so i think if we think about mitigating risks and mitigating those risks and really supplements are the way forward. in addition to a healthy diet. healthy balanced diet. >> people who get >> okay. so for people who get very by vitamins very overwhelmed by vitamins and supplements people , i supplements and by people, i mean we had our producer, mean me, we had our producer, sophia this morning. she got out all her on the desk all of her vitamins on the desk in of her, and she's got in front of her, and she's got supplement pouches and these supplement pouches and all these vitamins up. i wouldn't
10:43 am
vitamins stacked up. i wouldn't even where to start. for even know where to start. so for people who are just very overwhelmed whole thing, people who are just very overvwould d whole thing, people who are just very overvwould your whole thing, people who are just very overvwould your numberle thing, people who are just very overvwould your number one ing, what would your number one takeaway to feel takeaway be? just to feel healthy ? healthy? >> so it is overwhelming. honestly it's overwhelming. and i myself have all my supplements lined up and i forget to take them. keep it basic , them. so i think keep it basic, get multi—vitamin, get a multi get a multi—vitamin, get a multi mineral oil then and make mineral oil and then and make sure that it has enough vitamin d in it. if doesn't a d in it. if it doesn't buy a separate vitamin d supplement, omega threes are also good to have because they're anti—inflammatory. they're found in oily fish. so we don't consume enough through food. and they're really really good for brain health. heart health. so go for an omega three and then probiotics . you may have heard probiotics. you may have heard of them. you know the good bacteria and fungi in our gut. they're important gut they're really important for gut health. but also to help lift your mood to have a robust immune system. so go for a good probiotic. so multivitamin is multi minerals vitamin d love omega three. >> it's still a long list. >> it's still a long list. >> long list okay. >> it's a long list okay. >> it's a long list okay. >> if you just went >> what about if you just went outside. even though it's winter. even though we winter. even though it's cold we

10:45 am
the horizon. yes, a mixture of unconscious persuasion , unconscious persuasion, neuroscience, modern psychology and behavioural science can gently retrain the mind to change the way you think and feel about food and yourself . feel about food and yourself. that was a lot to say, let alone think of. yeah, and we're delighted to be joined now by creator pod program , creator of slim pod program, which does sandra which does just that. sandra roycroft davis, how are you ? roycroft davis, how are you? >> i'm very well, thank you. >> i'm very well, thank you. >> so, sandra, tell us a little bit about all of this because there are a lot of long words there. neuroscience and unconscious persuasion. how is this going to help people lose weight this january ? because weight this january? because whether we like it or not, there is conversation about is a big conversation about diets, january ? diets, isn't there? in january? >> absolutely . um, and let's be >> absolutely. um, and let's be clear, diet eating doesn't work long terme. otherwise people wouldn't be doing it year after year after year. so it is it's literally, um , you know, the literally, um, you know, the whole thing is , is really not whole thing is, is really not just about what you eat. it is
10:46 am
so much about why you eat, uh , so much about why you eat, uh, in order to lose weight . long in order to lose weight. long terme. uh, we it needs consistency and it needs to. you need to break the old habits . need to break the old habits. um, but the old habits are so difficult to break because they're ingrained in your neurology . and that's where the neurology. and that's where the whole neuroscience thing comes in. >> can i just ask a question, though? and i've always wondered why there's so much focus on what eat and what we don't what we eat and what we don't eat. actually, are we eat. and actually, why are we not just encouraging people to be on top of what you're be active on top of what you're talking about being active, just makes you make better choices overall. so you might not eat everything correctly. see, i don't believe in diets because i think diets . don't believe in diets because i think diets. i remember someone telling me the first three letters of diets says it all. um but obviously you can't sustain it long terme. so you're right about that. it's not just about what we eat, but why are we not just encouraging people to be active? activity creates active? because activity creates better habits all round ,
10:47 am
better habits all round, mentally and physically . and mentally and physically. and less focus on on. >> i mean . the thing is , >> i mean. the thing is, everybody is encouraged to, to, um, to, to move more. and that is really , really important in is really, really important in so many ways. but it has to become a habit. uh you have to get the feel good factor from it. you have to want to do it, not feel you have to do it . uh, not feel you have to do it. uh, you know, all movement is exercise wise, but we live such a static lifestyle and this is where my slim pod program comes in because it works within the brain in, um, it reverses , brain in, um, it reverses, resets and retrains your old habhs resets and retrains your old habits so that you can then, uh, you know, you can be consistent with your new habits because consistent agency is the key. and it's the thing that's missing, uh, so much of missing, uh, with so much of this, uh, it really is. if people could be consistent with their health, healthy eating and
10:48 am
lifestyle habits, then there wouldn't be a problem . but our wouldn't be a problem. but our habhs wouldn't be a problem. but our habits are created, um, in childhood, um, and then we spend half our lives trying to change them. and that's where the difficulty arises. and . also, difficulty arises. and. also, you know, we have to consider people that can't move and can't you know, be active , um, and you know, be active, um, and that side of it as well. >> but i do definitely think that promoting activity in some way is a really, really good way forward . absolutely absolutely. forward. absolutely absolutely. >> i mean, we get there are so many people protein activity and it and it is a key thing. it really is. but then when the winter months come along, a lot of people just resort to, um , of people just resort to, um, to, you know, lying around. and same with january , exactly the same with january, exactly the same with january, exactly the same thing. uh january does everybody starts january with great intentions. but then , as great intentions. but then, as i've found over the 15 years that i've been doing this or
10:49 am
that, i've had the online program, uh, everybody comes to us when they can't keep it up after, you know, after 4 or 5 weeks, some really good tips there. >> thank you so much. sandra roycroft dave, it's very good to see you this morning. now, if health isn't one of your focuses this year , perhaps love could be. >> now you might be familiar with the spanish tradition to eat 12 grapes as each bell strikes at midnight on new year's eve, which is meant to help you find love in the new yeah >> yeah, there's been some amazing videos this week online of people do just of people trying to do just that. those 12 bell that. 12 grapes in those 12 bell strikes, it looks very, very difficult. supermarkets difficult. and supermarkets worldwide even faced worldwide have even faced a shortage grapes . as we shortage of grapes. as we approach the end of the new year with lots of people desperate to find 2024. find love in 2024. >> so if you've missed out on your grapes, our next guest might be able to help founder and eden of sorry and ceo uh, sarah eden of sorry eden. sorry entered into adoption and celebrity matchmaker . yes, karen mooney is matchmaker. yes, karen mooney is what i meant to say. karen

11:14 am
pushchairs, it's not pushchairs, you know, it's not where you would expect this to happen everyone was happen because everyone was watching fireworks and this watching the fireworks and this altercation and it's altercation happened and it's just it's the knife. crime in this country has become out of control, and the people that are not just dying of the crimes , not just dying of the crimes, but doing the crimes. now, a 16 year old child has been taken in. it's so worrying and it's so hurtful and it feels it just feels too close to home. yeah too close to home. >> that is what strikes you, isn't it, tommy? is the ages isn't it, tommy? it is the ages that talking about here. that we are talking about here. i mean, when see the i mean, when you see the pictures it's pictures of harry pitman, it's a boy. yeah, and boy. it's a child. yeah, and sadly, even younger sadly, it probably even younger than that. >> um, look, you're going to speak andre from who's speak to andre from damage who's working or formerly from damage who's knife crime. who's working with knife crime. so have a more so he'll he'll have a lot more of than us. of an insight into this than us. but the sad thing is, this isn't like you said, this isn't a gang scene. this is primrose hill. this is a view spot, like you said, where i've gone with the. and i've gone with pram and pushed the pram up there and all that. and so you go with your family and you think you're

11:36 am
from the long covid, which he did have for over the past four years. he suffered from a heart attack and but still, it just feels battle most feels like a battle that most people was going to people felt like he was going to be okay. and, you know, my heart just goes out to her a lot and absolutely does. just goes out to her a lot and absolutely doesthink you're >> and i don't think you're alone. feeling alone. stephanie, in feeling emotion, think, we both emotion, i think, well, we both felt didn't we? yesterday felt it, didn't we? yesterday when i think felt it, didn't we? yesterday whepost i think felt it, didn't we? yesterday whe post itself i think felt it, didn't we? yesterday whe post itself on i think felt it, didn't we? yesterday whe post itself on instagram 1ink felt it, didn't we? yesterday whe post itself on instagram was her post itself on instagram was very, emotional. i very, very emotional. but i think you're right that so many people, let all with think you're right that so many peoplidocumentariesl with think you're right that so many peoplidocumentaries and nith think you're right that so many peoplidocumentaries and talking those documentaries and talking about caring for derek and the challenges that that had. and i think where she's been such a devoted we all feel like devoted wife, we all feel like we've of watched them we've kind of watched them go through this together as a family, all this, family, and we all feel this, this loss. is. this loss. it is. >> and i think as well, i think she's shone a light on carer in general because i think those are kind of like the unsung heroes when it comes to these kind of situations. and the fact that financially, she that financially, i think she was paying a lot to look after him and just all that kind of stuff, the physical and the mental and the emotional side of it, i think it's not to be underestimated. and i think
