NUTRITION

Media Watch 15th July 2020 Understanding the importance of nutrition and vitamins

This week we met Dr Peter Chada and leading nutritionist Paola Miari.
We explored:
1 – BAME vulnerability under Covid-19
2 – The potential role of vitamins to support a healthy diet – also focus on recent reports about the potential benefits of Vitamin D for select communities/types of people.
3 – Referencing / supportive recent research
4 – Throughout, assuring you seek advice to support nutrition & supplement choices (inc: dosages)
5 – A recommendation to avoid processed foods
6 – How you cook food can impact the resulting benefits and loss of essential nutrients.

It was a fascinating discussion with some great insights direct from experts rather than online randomness! i.e: It is essential that we don’t take what is published online for verbatim. It is always good to talk to specialists.
