Biggest thing for me in 2025 was having my health book come out. It still feels surreal- and thank you to all those who have read it and engaged with the ideas. In a crowded world where attention is limited & pulled in a million directions, here's to reading more books in 2026.

À pergunta "Como podemos viver mais tempo?", Devi Sridhar responde com políticas públicas - na alimentação, na mobilidade ou na poluição.

Entrevista hoje no PÚBLICO com a investigadora britânica @profdevisridhar.bsky.social 👇

Devi Sridhar: “Temos mais investigação e dinheiro, mas vivemos menos e com menos saúde”

Novo livro de Devi Sridhar dá aos governos um papel saliente na busca da longevidade. Só políticas públicas em mobilidade, poluição do ar ou alimentação garantirão vidas mais longas para todos, diz.

Don't feel guilty or selfish for taking the time to exercise esp over the holidays. It's actually a selfless act- you feeling better physically & mentally is better for your loved ones, community, employer, the health system. It's your gift to the world🎄

This excellent book brilliantly captures the breadth of the health challenge – with chapters on diet, exercise, mental health, transport, water, clean air, gun control, smoking, health care systems – while deep-diving into the detail of both problems and solutions.

The data shows Brexit was a massive mistake and badly hurt the economy. We're all paying for it. It was Nigel Farage who sold the lies that it would make life better. How can anyone still listen to him about anything?
