Improving access to skilled counselling for #breastfeeding can extend the duration of breastfeeding & promote exclusive breastfeeding, with benefits for babies, families & economies. Exclusive breastfeeding could save the lives of 820 000 children every year.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

It’s #WorldBreastfeedingWeek! #Breastfeeding gives every child the best possible start in life. @unicefchief & I call on governments to support breastfeeding for a healthier 🌍 by protecting & promoting access to skilled breastfeeding counselling. https://t.co/SwM8HUu34D

[CHARLES INGABIRE @CharlesIngabire]

Great project @NIH. It would be helpful if people #thinkoutofthetongue while preparing food. We focus more on satisfying our tongue and ignore what food does in our whole body!

[NIH @NIH]

Individualized dietary recommendations, or precision nutrition, could help us optimize our health and quality of life. To help get there, #NIH released its first ever NIH-wide strategic plan for nutrition research. #NIHNutritionResearch https://t.co/Pnt9RcCBEH
