If someone invented a miracle pill that reduced your risk of cancer, heart disease and strokes as well as boosting mood, memory, and lifespan it would be the most popular drug ever. Except we already have it and it's called exercise, and most people can't be arsed doing it.

Today’s @theguardian.com piece by @andrewgregory.com exposes a critical gap in UK medical research: women, eso those pregnant or breastfeeding, are under-represented in trials, & too few focus on women’s health. We need research that reflects women’s lives.
