Drive Time Show Podcast 19-06-2026: Modern Food and Faith and Focus
Published 1 month ago
Description
Join our hosts for Friday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Modern Food' and 'Faith and Focus'
Modern Food
We are currently living through a dietary crisis, with over half of the calories consumed in the UK now coming from Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs). This show unpacks the reality of the modern supermarket, exploring hidden artificial additives, the illusion of “healthy” packaging, and how chemically engineered foods directly impact our physical health and mental wellbeing. Has the food industry sacrificed our health for convenience and mass profit?
Faith and Focus
We live in a world full of distractions and an economy based on our attention. Over the past year’s meditation and mindfulness have become billion dollar businesses, due to the rise of mental health issues. Yet Islam has been teaching mindful practices for over 1400 years now. It encourages us to pay attention to our thoughts, our actions and our body. In this episode we dive into the timeless practices that Islam has taught Muslims to be present in life.
