Joining Rory McGowan to discuss this is Sarah Stannard, Health & Wellness Coach, who can explain some of the common nutrition misconceptions revealed by the research and share practical tips for making healthier choices, enjoying summer treats in moderation, and maintaining a balanced approach to eating.

Adam Smith's 'Wealth of Nations', now celebrating its 250th anniversary, celebrates the role of competition from the perspective of service providers; however the merit of enabling individual choice to underpin a sense of ownership and responsibility is central to individual empowerment.
