The essentiality of recovery and rainbow foods

The notion of exercise as medicine is gathering serious momentum around the world. Another important concept we’re hearing more and more often being discussed is ‘eating a rainbow’.

Both are incredibly important concepts, but both are at risk of being either misunderstood or misrepresented. This week, in our two main pieces, we look at both of these issues. In the case of exercise, we focus on recovery rather than the exercise itself because it’s so often ignored or its importance is under-estimated.

As always, we bring you a round-up of news from around the world. This week includes news on the fight against mandatory vaccination in Italy and glyphosate re-approval in the EU plus some good news from Nigeria on the future of traditional medicine.
