We need an anti-obesity "Marshall Plan":

Universal, healthy school meals for all kids from age 4 to 16.

Universal gym/pool access.

Traffic free cycle networks EVERYWHERE.

Nutrition education in schools.

Comprehensive, ENFORCABLE regulatory targets on companies.

Data shows children in the UK have already exceeded the max recommended sugar intake for an 18yr old by the time they reach their 10th Birthday. Swapping some everyday food & drinks can help. Download the free Food Scanner app or search @Change4Life to find lower sugar options.

Did you know that alcohol hand gels DON’T kill #norovirus. If you’re visiting hospitals or care homes make sure you’re not unwell - and wash your hands with soap and water before going in #NoNoro4Xmas https://t.co/fWt0jVbYkp

Very simple intervention to reduce morbidity particularly in our older patients

Please get involved with promoting #ButFirstADrink in your personal and professional lives. The idea is simple: offer a drink at the start of your contact, be it for social or health/care reasons, to help reduce illness that results in hospital admissions and worse. #BeTheChange

We are deeply concerned by @GiuliaGrilloM5S's decision to sack all 30 of Italy's higher health council board members. @Mov5Stelle may well be the 'government of change', but removing technical health experts in the midst of an epidemic of vaccine-preventable diseases seems unwise
