My first PhD publication findings in AJCN - ultra-processed foods vary in healthfulness and high whole-grain varieties may not contribute to poor health associations. Always a pleasure to work with Eleanor Beck, Mengxi Du, Nicola McKeown, and marijka batterham!

Part of my research explores how eating vegetables @ breakfast can improve our health. Here's 1 way I do this myself:
- Blend kale & store in fridge.
- Sprinkle onto yoghurt (+ frozen berries/nuts/seeds/oats).
Can't taste the kale much but packs extra nutrients in. Give it a go😊

I could highlight so many fab women I'm fortunate to work with but on #IWD2024 I'm raising the fantastic Mhairi Morris with whom I'm so glad to co-lead EDI work for Learning & Teaching in LboroSSEHS. See Mhairi's brilliant awareness-raising blog here 👉💪tinyurl.com/2p76xha7
