A5 Nutrients deficiency in vegan diets: Iron, vitamin B12 and calcium. I will strongly advise the consumption of fortified foods or taken dietary supplements #ATUnutrition #PHN3Twitterchat

A4 In vegan diets they don’t cover all essential nutrients, no consumption of dairy products will lead to low levels of calcium in children and iodine deficiency #ATUnutrition #PHN3Twitterchat

Fantastic webinar today by Dr Laura Wayness @Laura_Wyness about menopause symptoms and health impacts.
Dietary advice in menopause: Keep hydrated, limit salt consumption, reduce saturated fats, eat foods for lowering cholesterol #ATUnutrition #RNutr #ANutr #WorldMenopauseDay

[Silvia Touris Santorum @SilviNutri]

Mind yourself: Health & Wellbeing week. Informing students about the importance of buying local seasonal produce is a great way to reduce carbon emissions, reduce the environmental impact of what we eat and it will help the local economy at the same time.
