Ticks can carry the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. It's important to be aware of them and safely remove them as soon as possible. If you are removing a tick, do not twist or jerk it, this may cause it to break, or spit out disease-causing fluids into the bite.

We don't take health seriously. We don't care. We are digging our graves with our teeth. Big food and UK government don't care. Diabetes now available as a meal deal. @tesconews @DoctorChrisVT

What should your movement targets be for this week? How about aiming for just a few minutes more per waking hour than ladt week. Every little helps. #movement #movemore #keepmoving #healthspan

Junk food companies are doubling down on sport sponsorship to avoid the upcoming (and much delayed due to lobbying) ban on HFSS advertising before 9pm on TV. Our kids’ heroes are advertising Hula Hoops, Redbull and Kit Kats while obesity prevalence in UK children is one of the highest in the world. Super investigation by the @BMJLatest which highlights that this isn’t just obviously harmful - we have lots of evidence that this sort of sponsorship gives junk food firms a ‘health halo effect’ by making their products seem more acceptable and less harmful to consumers. bmj.com/content/390/bmj.r136… I know many athletes and teams really do their best to avoid this but we need mandatory regulation just as we have for cigarettes. Sport will survive and thrive without making the players push junk food onto the next generation. Do join the campaigns to kick big soda out of sport if you agree kickbigsodaout.org/

Being sedentary is not good for our long-term health. Prolonged inactivity is associated with a wide range of negative health outcomes. #movemore #keepmoving
