sciencedirect.com/science/ar…. Exciting findings from my doctoral work! We directly measured sulfur amino acid requirements in healthy pregnant mothers & our findings suggest that requirements are LOWER than current DRI recommendations (first amino acid to have this finding)

New research in @AJCNutrition shows that dietary protein intake in midlife is positively associated with higher odds of healthy aging. #protein #nutrition
I.e., More protein = better function and overall health.

DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid, is essential for healthy brain functioning. Dr. Elango & his team found that blood DHA levels are linked with cognitive performance in kids, but there was a surprisingly meagre association between diet and actual DHA levels: bcchr.info/3cDjdHh

A limited scope of women’s involvement in maternal nutrition interventions primarily to ensure the well-being of her child perpetuates underlying gender stereotypes. 3/3
