I want to wish @profdevisridhar.bsky.social a great Christmas time and a happy new year! This book turned out to be a lifechanging thing for me without and exaggeration. I started practising yoga and loosing weight.

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 👇 www.publico.pt/2025/12/23/c...

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🎄

Diet and exercise will only get you so far, but there is a magic bullet that could make us all live longer, says professor of global public health Devi Sridhar.

"My NHS colleagues & I weren’t willing to let the bodies pile high in their thousands. Boris no longer mentions them at all." My piece on the responses to the UK Covid-UK Inquiry report that try to airbrush the dead away. Sincere thanks, @theobserveruk.bsky.social. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

“The heroes of the Covid story are science and the NHS (and immigration, as even Johnson attested to, given the international healthcare team who treated him for severe Covid in hospital),” writes @profdevisridhar.bsky.social. Wise words as always www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

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. @profdevisridhar.bsky.social

hey kind people- if you read my book & enjoyed it, I'd be grateful if you could recommend to a friend or colleague or even post a review online- it's a real passion project and just want people to read it and engage with the ideas

More signed copies at @waterstones.bsky.social in Edinburgh- also exciting book events ahead which I'll post about soon.

Remember this, whenever someone says "alternative proteins - yuck!" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

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?

People thinking that Reform's suggestions of getting rid of legal immigrants will fix the NHS have no idea how much it will hurt healthcare. Immigrants & children of immigrants keep the NHS functioning. Same with social care.

Another mass school shooting in the US. Another day of shame for the United States. How many more kids have to die before the government takes action? This isn't happening in other G7 countries. There will always be unstable individuals- it's whether they can get their hands on a gun.
