Definitely a proud moment - sharing our recently published review on the implementation of MPDSR in low and middle income countries and the lessons we could learn to improve maternal/perinatal care.

An absolute pleasure joining @Pukkaherbs as they launched their “Rainbow paper” at parliament. It reiterates the benefits of herbs/ spices and asks government to -include herbs in the nutrition guidelines, -invest in herbal research and

In Uganda, excess fat is often a sign of wealth and can help get a bank loan, a new study found. The country is one of the poorest nations, and nearly half the population eats fewer calories than they need each day. nyti.ms/43VY7cD
Taking this Healthy eating week seriously 😅 I enjoyed a bottle of freshly squeezed juice in the YP hub at my workplace. Making healthier options accessible 😉 @NutritionOrgUK #HEW23 #SouthamptonCityCouncil
