Unshared photos from the West Highland Way with Dad! We got back months ago (we're not still walking 😂), but still daydreaming of the camp spots and views!

[JeniMiller @JeniMiller]

Hi. I'm Jeni Miller. I've been working in public health for two decades and have seen that climate change is the biggest health threat we're facing. #climatehealth

[Kate Sheffer @kate_sheffer]

We're off! Dad and I are taking on West Highland Way!

This is excellent 🥳 @Cristiano is my new favourite footballer (after @alanshearer of course)

[Bite Back @BiteBack2030]

Legend @Cristiano for LITERALLY pushing junk food entirely off stage and putting water in the spotlight instead for his millions of young fans. Now that's what we want to see more of 🎉 #adenough

@kate_sheffer @MarcusRashford Imagine how powerful it would be if this brilliant sportsman and campaigner used his influence to put healthy options in the spotlight!

Do you know that sugary drinks are a top contributor 2 child obesity? DYK that over 27% of 10-11 yr olds living in the most deprived areas are living with obesity & facing serious later life health problems vs 14% of kids in least deprived areas? @MarcusRashford @Childrensfood

[Kate Sheffer @kate_sheffer]

Children's food hero is now plastered on every street corner promoting Coca Cola. 😱 This is a big shame for children and families in the UK. @MarcusRashford do you know that sugary drinks offer no nutrition? DYK that they make up 30% of free sugars in kids diets? @BiteBack2030

[Katy Cooper @healthkaty]

The air pollution in Beijing at the moment is truly terrifying - I’ve only once stayed somewhere (Agra) where the pollution was really bad (albeit nowhere *near* this level), and even thinking about it makes me feel panicky.

“Beyond Index” are frightening words. This is deadly.

[Farihah Choudhury ANutr @farihahchdhry]

Great to hear @BristolCouncil have passed a policy to restrict billboard advertising of foods high in sugar, salt and fat, building on the work done at @TfL https://t.co/qe8lLWc0Vr

[NE Obesity Forum @NE_ObesityForum]

Some members of NEOF worked with @TeesValleySport to explore the impact of COVID-19 on physical activity and attitudes of people in the North East during the first COVID-19 lockdown, with main findings for the Tees Valley found here: https://t.co/jS1RkhHsoY

Flexitarian. Pescatarian. Vegetarian. Vegan.

These sustainable diets are likely to reduce adults' risk of chronic diseases such as cancer, & have a positive impact on the #environment, according to new @LSHTM_Planet research.

[Kate Sheffer @kate_sheffer]

Cool study 👇@Fatty_Bombus et al. look for predictors of #takeaway outlet healthiness - like "diversity of veg on menu". They propose routinely giving takeaways a Health Rating (like we do for hygiene) is feasible.💡
