Great to represent the @nnedpro COVID-19 Taskforce on @FoodMattersLive to discuss the role of nutrition in recovery from COVID-19

Important not to neglect the role of nutrition in recovery from C19 infection & take this opportunity to put it firmly on the map in the process🍎🌍

[Judith Ashcroft RD @PrehabDietitian]

@ShaneMacZ @BDA_Dietitians @uocClinSciNutr Well done Shane 👏🏼

[Shane McAuliffe @ShaneMacZ]

Delighted to see the UK govt providing Vit D to those who are least likely to get it elsewhere - especially in the midst of Covid-19

A really interesting paper here about where this responsibility lies. Hoping this is a big step in the right direction 👏🏻

We just realised that Nigel Farage has 1.6 million followers whilst we only have 600,000.

Please follow and RT if you think it should be the other way around.

When I was a kid in the 1970s there was virtually no convenience food, food quality was relatively poor and yet there were overweight people.

Perhaps this is an illustration that obesity isn’t a choice but a complex issue magnified by our current obesogenic environment.

[Nutrition Doc @Leicnut]

To the public.

I know you’re frightened but please DO NOT steal the alcohol hand gel from hospitals.

You’re putting staff and patients at risk.

The NHS needs all the support it can get right now.

Thank you.

Random thought. If given proper mouth care, how many patients swallowing would improve sufficiently to avoid a PEG?? 🤔

[The Gut Health Doctor | Dr Megan Rossi (RD, PhD) @TheGutHealthDoc]

The boom in invalid food intolerance & expensive DNA/microbiome tests making bold claims being sold online is concerning😡 Especially as it can lead to nutrition deficiencies, anxiety & eating disorders. Let’s spread the science! More on my education hub: https://t.co/9vBmfws1t2

Looking forward to tuning in to tonight's DIABETES UK Nutrition Guidelines Webinar 1 - Food Choices For Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes @NutriWebinar @BDA_Dietitians #nutritionanddiabetes

[Nutrition Doc @Leicnut]

Pt tells me they lost 1.5 stone (well done!) after they were shown NHS guidelines and finally ‘understood what to eat’.

Those will be the same guidelines that apparently everyone is following and are causing the obesity crisis.

Odd isn’t it? 😉
