Obesity is a disease, not a choice. Weight stigma and discrimination are harmful & need to end. People living with obesity should have access to support & services 👩🏽⚕️

Just a reminder that
@DrSarahJarvis
is a doctor and a media medic.
Caprice is a celebrity! Be careful who you listen to out there. Sense would say that the Dr is more likely to be correct! 🤔
“Let us make no mistake about this, we are not going to solve this.”
Dr Sarah Jarvis disputes Caprice's claim that the best thing to do to contain coronavirus would be a two-week lockdown, saying: "It has categorically not worked."

This is a fantastic idea to help those on a tight budget have access to fresh, seasonal fruit and veg. And also reduces waste too. I dread to think what happens to slightly bruised F&V in supermarkets? Let’s spread the word about this awesome initiative. Well done
@LidlUK
A fruitful idea for cutting food waste: we're trialling new 5kg boxes of fruit and veg that is slightly damaged, but still perfectly good to eat, for just £1.50.
It's being piloted in 122 of our stores, so if you come across any, let us know what you think.

Mindfulness can be hugely helpful for many, but can take practice. “If at first you don’t succeed, try try again”. If like me you still struggle with quiet mindfulness, exercise can be a form of mindfulness too. Especially if it also require concentration 🤺🧗🏽♀️💃🏾🤼♂️
If you're struggling with anxiety, you might like to try mindfulness -

Is it possible to reverse Type 2 diabetes? Fortunately for some, yes is the answer, and weight loss is the main factor, however for some it's not that straightforward as
