Health education is important but it places the focus on individual responsibility and often ignores the fact that social determinants of health (such as clean and safe housing, secure jobs that pay adequately, time to engage in social interactions, and gender, racial, financial inequalities etc.) play a key role in a nation’s and an individual’s health. • Social inequality often inhibits the behaviour change that so many of our public health campaigns are encouraging. • Eating fruits and veggies and partaking in physical activity absolutely can improve health, but so does not living with the stress that you may be let go from your job because you’re not on a permanent contract, for example. • Go and give @laurathomasphd podcast episode a listen where she discusses all of this with @oliwilliamsphd • From a selfish point of view it came out at a great time as social inequalities are something that I need to consider in my diss which is looking at the association between a healthy diet and the mental health of teenagers 🤓 #dontsaltmygame

The ☀️ out and I could almost forget that I’ve got exams and diss deadlines looming ... almost but not quite! • Popped back to my old school this morning to talk work experience, dietetic placements and keeping your cool during exam season - need to take my own advice sometimes I think! Thinking of compiling some helpful revision resources on the blog for all students - not just nutrition & Dietetics students, so if you have any tips let me know!

4 packets of mini eggs later ... 🐰🐣🌸

I’ve made a new section on the blog to store crib sheets and bits and bobs for Nutrition & Dietetics students 🤓 I would love to feature other people’s crib sheets and things they’ve found helpful so shout if you’d like to feature on the blog!

My weekend on the coast has been replaced by a weekend wrapped in blankets in front of the television! ❄️ But at least the park looks pretty!

I’ve published a collaborative post on the blog of lots of really rather helpful pointers before starting a Dietetics placement ✨🌹 Hope you enjoy & I hope it helps! As always - link is in bio! #thesimplenutritionblog

I was deeply saddened and furious to hear the news that Weight Watchers will be offering a free camp over the summer to US teens. As well as promoting body dissatisfaction at a time when bodies are naturally changing, they are encouraging and promoting harmful food restriction practices. The girls @rooted_project did a summary of this on their stories the other day 👉 swipe across to see! For some refreshing, compassionate and downright common-sense responses check out: @rooted_project @laurathomasphd @bodyposipanda @bodyimagemovement @themindfuldietitian @chr1styharrison @bodypositivememes #wakeupweightwatchers

I’ve started practicing yoga ad-hoc when I’ve come in from work in my living room or going to the occasional class. It benefits my mind as well as my body, and this gentler form of movement is more enjoyable right now. My friend @louisetru wrote a beautiful piece on the blog a while ago about how she got into yoga, why she loves it so much and a few good resources to use if you’re starting out. Link is in my bio!

The lovely @lauraheck has written a delicious recipe for #peanutbutter energy bars on the blog 🥜🍯 Link is in my bio!

Getting a blast of fresh air can lift the spirits no end. As part of the series of posts offering inspiration and ideas to brighten your January is a blog post listing a few of my favourite spots to stroll - with plenty of cafes along the way! #thesimplenutritionblog

Sunday baking 🍌🍞

I’ve got a treat for you on this dreary Saturday afternoon - a guest post on cosy cafe finds in Sussex. And who better to write it than the @nelsoncoffeeco bearista herself, @tansleytansley 🐻 Link in bio
