Innovations and solutions needed to address urgent issues of food and nutrition insecurity

Surprising yet interesting results! I recently asked where you turn for reliable and evidence-based nutrition knowledge. I'm pleasantly surprised to see that a majority of you choose to go straight to the source - scientific studies! This is where the most credible and up-to-date information can be found. It's great to know that you're seeking out evidence-based knowledge to inform your decisions. However, I also want to address the other sources. Social media can be a breeding ground for misinformation, so be cautious and verify information through fact-checking websites or expert opinions. Online articles and blogs can be helpful, but make sure they're written by credible authors and based on scientific research. And, of course, consulting with nutrition professionals is always a great idea, they can provide personalized guidance and help you find your way through the latest research. In our next post we will share important factors to consider, when evaluating the credibility of nutrition information . Learn how to identify trustworthy resources and make informed decisions about your health. Don't miss it! #nutritioneducation #healthyliving

Here is the first publication of my Ph.D. work !!! Immensely grateful to my Supervisor Dr. Vivek Thakur. Thankful to all who directly or indirectly were part of this 🙏 . Published in the "British Journal of Nutrition",  by Cambridge University Press on behalf of The Nutrition Society, the article talks about the status of "B-vitamin biosynthesizing bacterial species and pathways" in the Indian gut microbiome with respect to the Chinese population. Give it a read! #Human_gut_microbiome, #B_vitamins_biosynthesis, #Cooperative_interactions, #Abundance, #Prevalence, #Indian_cohorts, #Chinese_cohorts, #Lifestyle, #Diet https://lnkd.in/gfDyD7mu

With so much sports science research out there, it can be difficult to know what's trustworthy and what's noise. Check out this scoring matrix to help you critically evaluate performance nutrition research. 

Fun nutrition science fact of the day: Protein intake is significantly associated with higher odds of healthy aging. (PMID: 38309825) In the study, which analyzed food intakes and health outcomes of almost 50,000 nurses from the 1980s to 2016, healthy aging was defined as being free from 11 chronic diseases, having good mental health, and not having physical or cognitive impairments. The association with healthy aging was greatest for protein from dairy and plants, but animal protein was favorable as well. Want to age healthily? Focus on protein. 💪🏽🤠

So proud to be partnering with Genova Diagnostics to improve my clients ‘s health! They are a medical lab focusing on nutrition and GI, pioneering personalised nutrition and health to uncover the root causes of diseases. As a nutrition scientist, it’s important not to speculate what could be happening with my clients’s health but to have data (from testing such as gut microbiome, blood chemistry etc.) which will guide the interventions needed for optimal health. Always striving to improve the health and well-being of others, myself included. #gutmicrobiome #biochemistry #dataanalysis #nutritionist

🌟 Remembering Casimir Funk: Pioneering Biochemist and Nutritionist 🌟 Today, on what would have been his birthday, we honor the extraordinary legacy of Casimir Funk, a visionary scientist whose groundbreaking work revolutionized the understanding of human nutrition and biochemistry. 🔬 Known for coining the term "vitamin" and elucidating the crucial role of essential nutrients in preventing disease, Funk's contributions laid the foundation for advancements in public health and nutrition science. 📚 His seminal book "The Vitamines" remains a cornerstone of research in the field, inspiring generations of scientists and practitioners to explore the intricate connections between diet, health, and disease prevention. 💡 As we reflect on his achievements, let us continue to be inspired by Funk's relentless pursuit of scientific inquiry and his commitment to improving human health worldwide. https://lnkd.in/gsxJuCxR #CasimirFunk #Biochemistry #Nutrition #ScientificLegacy #PublicHealth #Innovation

Must-read: This is how nutrition science works. Could ice cream be healthy? Data say ’yes', scientists say 'no'. Find a result that fits in hypothesis: accept. Find a result that does challenge hypothesis: do further digging. And dig. And dig. Then be silent and search for other narrative. https://lnkd.in/gTFD5Tuj
