It’s really important if you’re heading off to uni this autumn for the first time or returning for a new year to be caught up with #MMR, #HPV and #MenACWY vaccinations – the MenACWY vaccine helps protect you and those around you.

"UPF consumption is not driven by indolence or greed, but poverty, intensive marketing and foods designed to make us keep eating - blame business, not consumers."

YES! Focus on the UPF system, not the individual.

Inactivity with hospitalisation is disastrous for physical function in older adults.

So much so that >30% of older adults leave hospital unable to do at least one activity of daily living they could do independently beforehand.

But it doesn’t take much activity to offset these losses.

A new study found as little as 25 min/day of slow walking was enough to improve physical function in older adults during hospitalisation.

There were greater benefits with up to 50 min/day slow walking or multicomponent programs incorporating resistance exercise.

📰 A new academic evaluation of @sainsburys top up of @NHSHealthyStart vouchers in 2021 finds the scheme increased the amount of fruit and veg bought by almost 1 portion a day per household!

Great evidence that retailers supporting the scheme can help to level up dietary inequalities.

Button batteries are very dangerous if your child swallows one. They are in products at home e.g. small remotes, weighing scales and nightlights. Please keep products with easy-to-access button batteries out of reach.

Children living in poverty are more likely to have poorer health outcomes including low birth weight, poor physical health & mental health problems.

We urge all political parties to make tackling child poverty central to their general election manifestos.

You can still ask your GP practice for the MMR vaccine if your child has missed either of these doses: https://t.co/zCESWlSgGI
