UK nutritionist urges stocking up on five foods amid El Niño warnings

British nutritionist Dr. Sami Gill has urged people in the UK to stock up on five essential foods, following an official government warning.

Dr. Gill said residents should store these foods after government alerts about the potential consequences of the El Niño climate phenomenon.

The UK Met Office explained that 'El Niño' refers to a rise in sea surface temperatures that occurs every few years, with waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean warming by more than half a degree Celsius above the long-term average.

The recommended foods include canned fruit, preserved foods, protein-rich options such as chickpeas and canned oily fish, as well as complex carbohydrates and long-life milk.
