Well this is an exciting development! The placenta does have a microbiota and pre-pregnancy weight seems to have an effect on its diversity. Wow. 💡 https://t.co/jOxsfoQxtK

Violence against women in a silent, peaceful vigil. I can’t see any benefit here - there is certainly none from a covid point of view - only harm. This seems to represent so much of what the vigil was supposed to address. Terrifying for anyone hoping to rely on the police.

Astonished breakfast TV allowed the original comment. A terrifyingly irresponsible thing to say.

Oh hello.... fab paper in Nature about how gut microbes could drive brain disorders #microbiome #gutbrainaxis https://t.co/ShoVStdk1f

Love this - great ideas 💡

No no no no no no 😩😩😩😩😩😩 where has it gone? Children’s diets should be our PRIORITY in order to stop the next generation suffering the same fate of ill health as ours.

@DEATHBYTACOS_ This made me laugh so much 😂

Yes I love this! Microbiome in infancy - lots more work to be done in this field! 🦠

[Kristina Campbell, microbiome science writer @bykriscampbell]

Really cool to see associations between a mom's diet and breast milk microbiota ➡️ i.e. diets with lots of plants & carbs vs. lots of animal products & fats.
C-section birth & antibiotics also had an effect, depending on the type of diet.

Awesome!

Fascinating review

How immune‐cell fate and function are determined by metabolic pathway choice

Wonderful! 🤩🥦

[Dr Rangan Chatterjee @drchatterjeeuk]

I find the idea of personalised nutrition hugely empowering. As @timspector states, ‘You are very unlikely to be average’.

I’ve seen it first-hand with my patients, many of whom respond completely differently to the same ways of eating.

Delivered a couple of webinars to @TheVerveGroup this morning: an introduction to the wonderful world of nutrition and the microbiome! Education is everything 🍏🍎 #nutrition #nutritionist #microbiome #food

NEW on the educational hub this week we're joined by GP Zirva Ahmed to discuss #mentalhealth in #BAME communities - an area that's under-recognised by these communities but also by society. Read Zirva's piece in full, here: https://t.co/XBwqOu3qQR

I’ve written an article about anxiety. Can nutrition help? Of course it can. I’ve put together a list of ways in which we can help our gut influence our mental health via the gut-brain-axis. Have a little read at https://t.co/sI8NGXVhQ4 #nutrition #anxiety #lockdown2

So we know that cold water swimming is good for mental health and I’ve heard it’s pretty good for the immune system too (need to read more into this)... so this morning I went for a sunrise swim in the North Sea. It was fantastic 🌊⛄️ #mentalhealth #coldwaterswimming #sunrise

[Sarah Beecroft @beecroft_sarah]

Couldn’t agree more 😞

[James Downs @jamesldowns]

From an #eatingdisorders perspective, by refusing to ensure ALL kids have healthy meals, the government not only exacerbates poverty but increases risk of malnutrition, metabolic disturbances & disrupted relationships with food.

We must #ENDCHILDFOODPOVERTY for this reason too

[Sarah Beecroft @beecroft_sarah]

Really looking forward to getting my teeth into this after listening to a fabulous lecture by @DrJMacc yesterday at the Future of Food 2020 event. I love the immune system - it’s totally fascinating! 🤓 #newbookday #immunology #nutrition #nutritionist
