What could reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke, lower inflammation, and make you less susceptible to depression? The answer, says nutritionist Emma Bardwell, is fibre.

• The difference between soluble and insoluble fibre – and why you need both
• Fibre heroes: raspberries, cannellini beans, cacao powder and ground almonds
• How to go from 16g to 30g without eating mountains of vegetables

In this episode:

• How to know if you need to increase or reduce your sodium intake
• Are at-home teeth whitening kits safe and do they actually work?
• Tips for breast tenderness on HRT
