Why losing a few pounds is good for you

Tuesday 6 October 2020 @ 6:00 pm - 6:45 pm

  • « Comms Training Sessions – How to win at Twitter
  • Oxford Academic Paper Writing Retreat for Nurses »

Family eating mealTwo-thirds of adults in England are overweight. Being overweight is linked to a wide range of diseases, including diabetes and some cancers. Now it’s clear that being overweight can also increase the risk of serious COVID-19 complications. Professor Susan Jebb examines evidence for the health benefits of losing weight, why even short-term diets may be good in the long-term and how, if everyone loses just a small amount, together we can make a big difference to the nation’s health.

This event is part of the Health Research and You series of talks from the National Institute for Health Research at IF Oxford 2020.

IF Oxford uses Pay What You Decide ticketing so you can choose to pay whatever you want, or can afford. You can make your donation during booking or after the event and the amount you pay is up to you. A suggested donation of £5 per person for each event enjoyed will help secure the future of the Festival.
